New Operator Realization of Superoperators and Its Application in Quantum Information Theory

Fan Hong-Yi, Liyun Hu

Published Jul 1, 2009• 4 citations
Publisher

Abstract

By exposing deficiency of the usual superoperators that have no explicit operator-expression in quantum information theory we introduce thermo entangled state representation to endow each of these superoperators a definite operator-expression in an enlarged space in which one mode is a fictitious. This helps us to directly derive the role of exponential of superoperators and the solutions of some master equations.

OPERATOR-SUM REPRESENTATION OF DENSITY OPERATORS AS SOLUTIONS TO MASTER EQUATIONS OBTAINED VIA THE ENTANGLED STATE APPROACH

Hong-Yi Fan, Liyun Hu

We solve various master equations to obtain density operators' infinite operator-sum representation via a new approach, i.e., by virtue of the thermo-entangled state representation that has a fictitious mode as a counterpart mode of the system mode. The corresponding Kraus operators from the point of view of quantum channel are derived, whose normalization conditions are proved. Miscellaneous characters possessed by different quantum channels, such as decoherence, phase diffusion, damping, and amplification, can be shown explicitly in the entangled state representation of the density operators. Squeezing transformation is applied to the density operator for decoherence to generate a master equation for describing the phase sensitive process. Partial trace method for deriving new density operators is also introduced. Throughout our discussion, the technique of integration within an ordered product (IWOP) of operators is fully used.

Thermo Wigner operator in thermo field dynamics: its introduction and application

Hong-Yi Fan, Nian-Quan Jiang

Because in thermo-field dynamics (TFD) the thermo-operator has a neat expression in the thermo-entangled state representation, we need to introduce the thermo-Wigner operator (THWO) in the same representation. We derive the THWO in a direct way, which brings much conveniece to calculating the Wigner functions of thermo states in TFD. We also discuss the condition for existence of a wavefunction corresponding to a given Wigner function in the context of TFD by using the explicit form of the THWO.

New Approach for Solving Master Equations in Quantum Optics and Quantum Statistics by Virtue of Thermo-Entangled State Representation

Fan Hong‐Yi, Liyun Hu

By introducing a fictitious mode to be a counterpart mode of the system mode under review we introduce the entangled state representation ?|, which can arrange master equations of density operators ?(t) in quantum statistics as state-vector evolution equations due to the elegant properties of ?|. In this way many master equations (respectively describing damping oscillator, laser, phase sensitive, and phase diffusion processes with different initial density operators) can be concisely solved. Specially, for a damping process characteristic of the decay constant ? we find that the matrix element of ?(t) at time t in ?| representation is proportional to that of the initial ?0 in the decayed entangled state ?e??t| representation, accompanying with a Gaussian damping factor. Thus we have a new insight about the nature of the dissipative process. We also set up the so-called thermo-entangled state representation of density operators, ? = ?(d2?/?)?|?D(?), which is different from all the previous known representations.

From the Thermo Wigner Operator to the Thermo Husimi Operator in Thermo Field Dynamics

Xuefen Xu, Zhu Shi-Qun

Using the thermo entangled state representation and based on the thermo Wigner operator we first introduce the thermo Husimi operator, which turns out to be a projective operator of the thermo squeezed coherent state, therefore the positive definite property of Husimi distribution function can be insured. In addition, we find the use of the thermo Husimi operator in simplifying the form of master equations.

Solution to the master equation for a quantized cavity mode

Luis M. Arévalo-Aguilar, H. M. Moya-Cessa

We study the behaviour of the density operator for the radiation field in a single-mode cavity at a finite temperature. The master equation is solved for any initial cavity field by using superoperator methods.
