The physics of quantum impurities – a bridge from micro/nano to macro systems

Thomas Pruschke

Published Jan 17, 2005• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

Abstract We will give a comprehensive introduction into the concept of quantum impurities and survey on where and why quantum impurity problems arise in modern solid‐state physics. The physical properties of these systems and their applications will be discussed for a selected set of examples. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Entangled‐photon generation via biexcitons in nano‐structures

Motoaki Bamba, Hajime Ishihara

Abstract We have constructed quantum electrodynamics theory for excitons whose center‐of‐mass motion is confined in arbitrary‐structured dielectrics with considering their nonlocal optical susceptibility. We systematically investigate entangled‐photon generation via biexcitons in nano‐to‐macro scale materials by this theory. It is revealed that nano‐structured materials provide scattering spectra explicitly reflecting quantum states of confined exciton‐polaritons and are promising sources of entangled photons from the viewpoints of both efficiency and signal‐to‐noise ratio.

A Quantum Approach to Condensed Matter Physics

Philip L. Taylor, Olle Heinonen

This textbook is an accessible introduction to the theory underlying the many fascinating properties of solids. Assuming only an elementary knowledge of quantum mechanics, it describes the methods by which one can perform calculations and make predictions of some of the many complex phenomena that occur in solids and quantum liquids. The emphasis is on reaching important results by direct and intuitive methods, and avoiding unnecessary mathematical complexity. Designed as a self-contained text that starts at an elementary level and proceeds to more advanced topics, this book is aimed primarily at advanced undergraduate and graduate students in physics, materials science, and electrical engineering. Problem sets are included at the end of each chapter, with solutions available to lecturers. The coverage of some of fascinating developments in condensed matter physics will also appeal to experienced scientists in industry and academia working on electrical properties of materials.

Relaxation of a quantum many‐body system from a correlated initial state. A general and consistent approach

D. Semkat, M. Bönitz, D. Kremp

Abstract Various approaches to a theoretical treatment of the dynamics of quantum many‐body systems starting from a correlated initial state are discussed. In particular, we compare the concept of the BBGKY–hierarchy (singletime reduced density operators) and that of nonequilibrium Green's functions (two‐time correlation functions). Conditions for physically meaningful initial correlations are established. (© 2003 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
