Decoherence of Superposition of Vacuum State and Single-photon State in Diffusion Process Under the Action of Linear Resonance Force

LU Dao-min

The diffusion master equations of density operators under action of linear resonance force were concisely solved by virtue of thermo entangled state representation and the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators.The evolution formula of the field density operator was given,and the Wigner function evolution formula which is in superposition of vacuum state and single-photon state initially was obtained.By numerically calculating the Wigner function was plotted,and the evolution of negative volume of Wigner function with dissipation time was calculated.Through the analysis of the Wigner function,the effect of decoherence on nonclassical property of the state was discussed.Numerical results show that the negativity area size and the depth of negativity of its Wigner function decrease until vanish with dissipation time.In addition,on the other hand,Wigner function can be slipped under the action of linear resonance force.

Decoherence, fluctuations and Wigner function in neutron optics

Paolo Facchi A, Angelo Mariano, Saverio Pascazio +1 more

We analyse the coherence properties of neutron wavepackets, after they have interacted with a phase shifter undergoing different kinds of statistical fluctuation. We give a quantitative (and operational) definition of decoherence and compare it to the standard deviation of the distribution of the phase shifts. We find that in some cases the neutron ensemble is more coherent, even though it has interacted with a wider (i.e. more disordered) distribution of shifts. This feature is independent of the particular definition of decoherence: this is shown by proposing and discussing an alternative definition, based on the Wigner function, that displays a similar behaviour. We briefly discuss the notion of entropy of the shifts and find that, in general, it does not correspond to that of decoherence of the neutron.
