Semiclassical approximations at positive temperatures in stochastic physics

Steven M. Moore

Semiclassical approximations are developed for stochastic mechanics and stochastic field theory at positive temperatures. The tunneling phenomena of Euclidean quantum mechanics is seen to have a statistical interpretation. A semiclassical algorithm for calculating the generating functional of the moments of the positive-temperature process is developed. Positive-temperature fluctuations around a scalar soliton and in the pure SU(2) Yang–Mills theory are also briefly considered.

Quantum Optics with One Atom in an Optical Cavity

Craig M. Savage

The quantum mechanical master equation for a single two-level atom in a single-mode optical cavity is numerically solved in both the quantum and the semiclassical limits. The quantum limit of few cavity photons shows semiclassically forbidden behaviour such as steady state two-level population inversion. Qualitatively new fluorescent spectra, having sidebands broadened by the cavity interaction, also occur. The quantum theory of the single-atom laser with injected signal is presented. At the interface between its quantum and semiclassical dynamics we elucidate the signature of semiclassical limit cycles.
