Langevin and generalized Langevin types of spontaneous emission of quantum particles

Abstract

In the effective Hamiltonian representation, we have obtained a quantum stochastic differential equation of a generalized Langevin type for the evolution operator of an atomic ensemble in a microcavity in an external broadband quantized field and in a nonresonant field of the microcavity. We show that, depending on the number of particles in the atomic ensemble, its dynamics demonstrates both the Langevin and the generalized Langevin types of the two-photon spontaneous decay. In this case, one photon is emitted into the cavity mode, whereas the other photon is emitted into the external broadband electromagnetic field. The Langevin type is determined by a considerable Stark interaction of the atomic ensemble with the broadband photon-free quantized field. We show that, here, the Stark interaction is represented by a quantized Poisson process and, depending on its magnitude (at certain numbers of atoms in the ensemble), the two-photon collective spontaneous emission of microcavity atoms can be completely suppressed. In this case, the two-photon spontaneous emission of the singly excited atomic ensemble is described by the two-level model, while the atom-photon cluster of the microcavity under the described conditions is an artificial two-level quantum particle with a strong Stark interaction.

Spontaneous emission of the non-Wiener type

Ashat M. Basharov

The spontaneous emission of a quantum particle and superradiation of an ensemble of identical quantum particles in a vacuum electromagnetic field with zero photon density are examined under the conditions of significant Stark particle and field interaction. New fundamental effects are established: suppression of spontaneous emission by the Stark interaction, an additional “decay” shift in energy of the decaying level as a consequence of Stark interaction unrelated to the Lamb and Stark level shifts, excitation conservation phenomena in a sufficiently dense ensemble of identical particles and suppression of superradiaton in the decay of an ensemble of excited quantum particles of a certain density. The main equations describing the emission processes under conditions of significant Stark interaction are obtained in the effective Hamiltonian representation of quantum stochastic differential equations. It is proved that the Stark interaction between a single quantum particle and a broadband electromagnetic field is represented as a quantum Poisson process and the stochastic differential equations are of the non-Wiener (generalized Langevin) type. From the examined case of spontaneous emission of a quantum particle, the main rules are formulated for studying open systems in the effective Hamiltonian representation.

Simple cases of spontaneous emission from an atom-photon cluster localized in a microcavity

Ashat M. Basharov

The spontaneous emission from an atomic ensemble localized in a microcavity with the participation of microcavity photons and an external broadband quantized electromagnetic field at the Raman resonance of photons with an optically forbidden (two-photon) atomic transition has been studied. The average spontaneous decay intensity has been calculated for simple cases. It is shown that the dynamics of spontaneous emission from this atomic ensemble differs generally from the conventional superradiance (spontaneous emission of an atomic ensemble at a one-photon optically allowed transition from excited to the ground state. When the atomic ensemble is strongly excited, the delay times and the emission pulse shape differ significantly. The parameter ranges where the spontaneous emission from the atomic ensemble under consideration at a two-photon Raman transition can be described as conventional superradiance with renormalized parameters are found. In the case of single excitation the photon emission probability depends on the number of photons and atoms in the microcavity.

Models of the Dynamics of Spatially Separated Broadband Electromagnetic Fields Interacting with Resonant Atoms

Ashat M. Basharov

The Markov model of spontaneous emission of an atom localized in a spatial region with a broadband electromagnetic field with zero photon density is considered in the conditions of coupling of the electromagnetic field with the broadband field of a neighboring space. The evolution operator of the system and the kinetic equation for the atom are obtained. It is shown that the field coupling constant affects the rate of spontaneous emission of the atom, but is not manifested in the atomic frequency shift. The analytic expression for the radiative decay constant for the atom is found to be analogous in a certain sense to the expression for the decay constant for a singly excited localized ensemble of identical atoms in the conditions when the effect of stabilization of its excited state by the Stark interaction with the vacuum broadband electromagnetic field is manifested. The model is formulated based on quantum stochastic differential equations of the non- Wiener type and the generalized algebra of the Ito differential of quantum random processes.

Stark interaction of identical particles with the vacuum electromagnetic field as quantum Poisson process suppressing collective spontaneous emission

Ashat M. Basharov

The effective Hamiltonian describing resonant interaction of an ensemble of identical quantum particles with a photon-free vacuum electromagnetic field has been obtained with allowance for terms of second order in the coupling constant (the Stark interaction) by means of the perturbation theory on the basis of the unitary transformation of the system quantum state. It has been shown that in the Markov approximation the effective Hamiltonian terms of first order in the coupling constant are represented by the quantum Wiener process, whereas terms of second order are expressed by the quantum Poisson process. During the course of the investigation, it was established that the Stark interaction played a significant role in the ensemble dynamics, thus influencing the collective spontaneous decay of the ensemble of an appreciably high number of identical particles. Fundamental effects have been discovered, i.e., the excitation conservation in a sufficiently dense ensemble of identical particles and superradiance suppression in the collective decaying process of an excited ensemble with a determined number of particles.

Quantum theory of open systems based on stochastic differential equations of generalized Langevin (non-Wiener) type

Ashat M. Basharov

It is shown that the effective Hamiltonian representation, as it is formulated in author’s papers, serves as a basis for distinguishing, in a broadband environment of an open quantum system, independent noise sources that determine, in terms of the stationary quantum Wiener and Poisson processes in the Markov approximation, the effective Hamiltonian and the equation for the evolution operator of the open system and its environment. General stochastic differential equations of generalized Langevin (non-Wiener) type for the evolution operator and the kinetic equation for the density matrix of an open system are obtained, which allow one to analyze the dynamics of a wide class of localized open systems in the Markov approximation. The main distinctive features of the dynamics of open quantum systems described in this way are the stabilization of excited states with respect to collective processes and an additional frequency shift of the spectrum of the open system. As an illustration of the general approach developed, the photon dynamics in a single-mode cavity without losses on the mirrors is considered, which contains identical intracavity atoms coupled to the external vacuum electromagnetic field. For some atomic densities, the photons of the cavity mode are “locked” inside the cavity, thus exhibiting a new phenomenon of radiation trapping and non-Wiener dynamics.

The Stark interaction of identical particles with vacuum electromagnetic field as quantum Poisson process suppressing collective spontaneous emission

Ashat M. Basharov

The effective Hamiltonian describing resonant interaction of an ensemble of identical quantum particles with a photon-free vacuum electromagnetic field has been obtained with allowance for the second-order terms over the coupling constant (the Stark interaction) by means of the perturbation theory on the basis of the unitary transformation of the system quantum state. It has been shown that in the Markov approximation the effective Hamiltonian terms of the first-order coupling constant are represented as the quantum Wiener process, whereas the second-order terms are expressed by the quantum Poisson process. In the course of investigation it was established that the Stark interaction played a significant role in the ensemble dynamics, thus influencing the collective spontaneous decay of the ensemble of an appreciably high number of identical particles. New fundamental effects have been discovered, i.e., the excitation conservation in a sufficiently dense ensemble of identical particles and superradiance suppression in the collective decaying process of an excited ensemble with the determined number of particles.
