Two-photon ultrashort nonlinear dynamics of coherent bosonic quasiparticles in condensed media

Abstract

We present a theoretical study of the ultrashort nonlinear dynamics of bosonic quasiparticles in condensed media participating in two-photon quantum transitions. In the resonance approximation we obtain exact solutions in the form of elliptic functions. We show that allowing for antiresonant terms in the Hamiltonian of the interaction of the electromagnetic field and the quasiparticles leads to an entirely new phenomenon: the development of ultrashort chaos. The dynamical stochasticity of the quasiparticles is due to the disintegration of constants of motion of the system. Finally, we predict the effect of nonlinear tunneling from one potential well to another.

Entanglement dynamics in a two-mode nonlinear bosonic Hamiltonian

L. Sanz, R. M. Angelo, K. Furuya

An exactly solvable case of an interacting Hamiltonian of two bosonic modes is considered to study fundamental properties of the entanglement dynamics for coupled nonlinear oscillators. Such an interaction is of physical importance, either in a two-species Bose–Einstein condensate or in the case of two modes of electromagnetic fields interacting in Kerr media. The time-evolved state is obtained analytically for initial products of two Fock and two coherent states, and the purification times of the subsystems are determined. The possibility of dynamical generation of a quantum superposition state is discussed at such purification times. We also identify the existence of two regimes: the short time, phase spread regime where subsystem entropy rises monotonically and the self-interference regime where it oscillates and a purification phenomenon can be observed. Our results also show that the break time from the first regime to the second one becomes longer, as well as the purification and reversibility times, as the Planck constant becomes much smaller than a typical action in phase space.

Chaotic dynamics for a system of two-level atoms interacting with photons

Alexander V. Gorokhov, E. V. Rogacheva, V. V. Ruchkov

Some quantum optical models possessing a transition from regular to chaotic dynamics and influence of 'quantum chaos' to photons statistics are investigated. Particular cases of semiclassical dynamics of a single atom and cooperative system of these atoms with (2j + 1) -- equidistant levels interacting with a quantized photon mode in an ideal cavity were considered. We take into account parametric pumping. Corresponding equations of motion are received without the rotation-wave approximation. It was demonstrated the scenario of transition to chaos, realized by doubling frequencies mechanism with growing of 'atom + field' coupling constant. Chaotic behavior and squeezing degree time dependence were obtained in computer simulations for coupling constant values of order of the atomic frequency, the calculation of the maximal Lyapunov coefficient for the dynamics of many two- level atoms interacting with photon cavity mode as function of 'atoms + field' interaction constant is performed. An influence of possible parametric instabilities of nonlinear media and effects of dissipation for atoms are discussed.

Coherent atomic oscillations and resonances between coupled Bose-Einstein condensates with time-dependent trapping potential

F. Kh. Abdullaev, R. A. Kraenkel

We study the quantum coherent tunneling between two Bose-Einstein condensates separated through an oscillating trap potential. The cases of slow and rapid varying in the time trap potential are considered. In the case of a slowly varying trap, we study the nonlinear resonances and chaos in the oscillations of the relative atomic population. Using the Melnikov function approach, we find the conditions for chaotic macroscopic quantum-tunneling phenomena to exist. Criteria for the onset of chaos are also given. We find the values of frequency and modulation amplitude which lead to chaos on oscillations in the relative population, for any given damping and the nonlinear atomic interaction. In the case of a rapidly varying trap, we use the multiscale expansion method in the parameter $\ensuremath{\varepsilon}=1/\ensuremath{\Omega},$ where \ensuremath{\Omega} is the frequency of modulations, and we derive the averaged system of equations for the modes. The analysis of this system shows that new macroscopic quantum self-trapping regions, in comparison with the constant trap case, exist.

Chaotic vacuum Rabi oscillations with moving two-level atoms in cavity QED: a new kind of reversible spontaneous emission

Igor Leonidovich Kirilyuk, Leonid E. Kon’kov, Sergey V. Prants

We study nonlinear dynamics in the fundamental cavity QED system, consisting of a point-like collection of two-level atoms moving through a single-mode cavity, with a spatially inhomogenous field. In the semiclassical, strong-coupling and rotating-wave approximations, the model is shown to be integrable with atoms moving at exact resonance through a cavity with an arbitrary spatial profile of the mode along the propagation axis. The general exact semiclassical solution is derived in an explicit form, in terms of Jacobian elliptic functions. Numerical simulation confirms that perturbations, which are produced by a modulation of the coupling between moving atoms and a cavity mode, provide, our of resonance, a mechanism responsible for Hamiltonian chaos. Taking into account the interatomic quantum correlations, we go beyond the semiclassical model and derive a dynamical system, which is able to describe vacuum Rabi oscillation with moving atoms. At resonance, this system is again shown to be integrable with a general semiquantum solution found. Out of resonance, it can demonstrate chaotic vacuum Rabi oscillations, which may be considered as a new kind of reversible spontaneous emission.

Quantum fluctations of coherent light in nonlinear media

Anirban Pathak

The interaction of coherent light with a nonlinear medium is modeled here by a general quantum anharmonic oscillator. The model is not exactly solvable in a closed analytical form. But we need operator solutions of the equations of motion corresponding to these models in order to study the quantum fluctuations of coherent light in nonlinear media. In the present work we derive approximate operator solutions. From these solutions we observe that there exists an apparent discrepancy between the solutions obtained by different techniques. We compare different solutions and conclude that all correct solutions are equivalent and the apparent discrepancy is due to the use of different ordering of the operators. We use these solutions to investigate the possibilities of observing different optical phenomena in a nonlinear dielectric medium. To be precise, we have studied quantum phase fluctuations of coherent light in a third order inversion symmetric nonlinear medium. Fluctuations in phase space quadrature for the same system are studied and the possibility of generating squeezed state is reported. Fluctuations in photon number are studied and the nonclassical phenomenon of antibunching is predicted. We have generalized the results obtained for third order nonlinear medium and have studied the interaction of an intense laser beam with a general (m-1)-th order nonlinear medium. Aharanov Anandan nonadiabatic geometric phase is also discussed in the context of (m-1)-th order nonlinear medium.

Trapped bosons in mean field QED, nonlinear resonance cascades and dynamical BEC formation

Thomas Chen, Ali Mezher

In this paper, we study a system of bosons trapped in a confining potential, interacting with a quantized field of coherent photons in the mean field description of non-relativistic Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) obtained by [N. Leopold and P. Pickl , 2017]. We derive the effective nonlinear cascade equations governing the emission and absorption of coherent photons by the boson subsystem in a combined weak-coupling and macroscopic time limit. We demonstrate that solutions to this nonlinear cascade determine a monotone decreasing energy flow in the boson subsystem, and thereby describe the dynamical formation of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) with full ground state occupation, under conservation of the total boson $L^2$ mass. We note that this process is crucially different from thermal relaxation to the ground state, and fundamentally depends on the nonlinear nature of the cascade dynamics.
