Abstract

We obtain and discuss a closed-form expression for the time-dependent density matrix associated with spontaneous radiative decay from a continuum or a set of discrete states to a lower discrete state.Received 5 July 1983DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.30.2449©1984 American Physical Society

A density matrix approach to problems in time-dependent perturbation theory

M Roberts, W. E. Hagston

It is demonstrated that the density matrix method may be applied to problems in time-dependent perturbation theory. The advantages of the method are that it is compact, systematic and the effects of radiation damping can be readily treated on a phenomenological basis.

Density-matrix approach to wave-packet dynamics

We investigate the dynamics of the second-order moments of wave packets by means of density-matrix techniques. In particular, we consider the existence of shape-conserving pure states and ensembles.Received 15 July 1991DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.45.64©1992 American Physical Society
