Quantum thermodynamics in the no-measurement scheme: driven two-level atom and harmonic oscillator

A. Moradian, Fardin Kheirandish

Abstract The two-point measurement and no-measurement schemes are reviewed briefly. The quantum thermodynamics of a driven harmonic oscillator and a two-level atom in an external light field are investigated in the framework of the no-measurement scheme. The work distribution functions and the modified quantum Jarzynski theorem are obtained and discussed.

Quantum Collapses and Revivals in a Quantized Trap

C. A. Blockley, Daniel F. Walls, H. Risken

A single two-level atom, with quantized centre-of-mass motion, is constrained to move in a one-dimensional harmonic potential, while interacting with a single-mode classical travelling light field. When the atom's centre-of-mass motion is in a coherent state, we show that the atomic inversion exhibits collapses and revivals. Whereas in the Jaynes-Cummings model this behaviour occurs due to the discrete nature of the light field, in our case the behaviour is due to the discrete nature of the vibrational trap states. The Q -function for the external motion is also calculated and shown to break into two peaks in the collapse region. Finally the parameter ranges under which the collapses and revivals can be observed are discussed, as well as the possibility of an experiment.

Radiation properties of an oscillating atom in the presence of external fields

F Chegini, F Kheirandish, M R Setare

Abstract In the first part of the present work, the correction to the photon emission rate of an oscillating two-level atom in the presence of an electromagnetic quantum vacuum field has been investigated for two different configurations: (i) an atom is trapped in the vicinity of a perfect conductor and (ii) an atom is trapped between two perfect conductors. In the second part, the correction to the decay rate of an initially excited oscillating two-level atom due to the presence of a perfectly conducting surface is found.
