Abstract

For quantum-mechanical entangled states we introduce the entangled Wigner operator in the entangled-state representation. We derive the time evolution equation of the entangled Wigner operator. The trace product rule for entangled Wigner functions is also obtained.

Time evolution of Wigner functions governed by bipartite Hamiltonian system with kinetic coupling

For the bipartite Hamiltonian system with kinetic coupling, we derive time evolution equation of Wigner functions by virtue of the bipartite entangled state representation and entangled Wigner operator, which just indicates that choosing a good representation indeed provides great convenience for us to deal with the dynamics problem.

Relationship Between Wave Function and Corresponding Wigner Function Studied in Entangled State Representation

Xing-Lei Xu, Hongqi Li, Fan Hong-Yi

By using the explicit form of the entangled Wigner operator and the entangled state representation we derive the relationship between wave function and corresponding Wigner function for bipartite entangled systems. The technique of integration within an ordered product (IWOP) of operators is employed in our discussions.

Wigner function of optical cumulant operator and its dissipation in thermo-entangled state representation

Ke Zhang, Lanlan Li, Hong-Yi Fan

To conveniently calculate the Wigner function of the optical cumulant operator and its dissipation evolution in a thermal environment, in this paper, the thermo-entangled state representation is introduced to derive the general evolution formula of the Wigner function, and its relation to Weyl correspondence is also discussed. The method of integration within the ordered product of operators is essential to our discussion.

Time evolution law of Wigner operator in diffusion channel

Ke Zhang, Lanlan Li, Gang Ren +2 more

As is well known, the evolution of quantum state can be replaced by its Wigner function’s time evolution. The Wigner function of a quantum state is the same as the density matrix of a quantum state, because they both contain many messages, such as the probability distribution and phases. Thus, the important information about the quantum state in the evolution process can be obtained more quickly and effectively by studying the Wigner function of a quantum state. In this paper, based on the classical diffusion equation, the diffusion equation of the quantum state density operator is derived by using the P representation of the density operator. Furthermore, by introducing the Weyl ordering symbol of the quantum operator, the corresponding Weyl quantization scheme is given. In addition, the evolution equation of Wigner operator in diffusion channel is established by using another phase space representation of density operator—Wigner function, and the solution form of Wigner operator is given. In this paper, we derive the evolution law of Wigner operator in quantum diffusion channel for the first time, that is, the form of Wigner operator at any time in the evolution process. Based on this conclusion, the evolution of coherent states through quantum diffusion channels is discussed.

We show that the Wigner function W=Tr(Δρ)( an ensemble average of the density operator ρ，Δis the Wigner operator) can be expressed as a matrix element of ρ in the entangled pure states.In doing so,converting from quantum master equations to time-evolution equation of the Wigner functions seems direct and concise,The entangled states are defined in the enlarged Fock space with a fictitious freedom.

We show that the Wigner function (an ensemble average of the density operator ρ, Δ is the Wigner operator) can be expressed as a matrix element of ρ in the entangled pure states. In doing so, converting from quantum master equations to time-evolution equation of the Wigner functions seems direct and concise. The entangled states are defined in the enlarged Fock space with a fictitious freedom.
