Quenching of tunneling and role of phase coherent in a double-well using laser fields

Abstract

Some aspects of quantum tunneling of a particle in a double-well driven by an external field are studied within the two level approximations. The localization problems of particles are studied when the system are driven by far off-resonance and/or strong laser fields. A nonperturbative expression of the time evolution of system regardless of the coupling strength value is obtained, in the strong field regime, because of the asymptotic behavior of the Bessel function, the conclusion remain valid even when the far off-resonance condition is not fulfilled. That, when the zeros Bessel function vanishes, coherent destruction of tunneling will occur.Instead of discuss the two limitations one by one, simple expression with profound meaning is given.

Role of phase coherence in the transition dynamics of a periodically driven two-level system

Yōsuke Kayanuma

Some aspects of quantum tunneling of a particle in a double-well potential periodically driven by an external force are studied within the two-level approximation. A closed expression for the temporal evolution of the occupation probability is obtained in the limit of large-amplitude oscillation by the transfer-matrix formalism. The mechanism of coherent destruction of tunneling found by Grossmann et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 67, 516 (1991)] is made clear from a viewpoint of interference at periodic level crossings.

Perturbative evolution of far-off-resonance driven two-level systems: coherent population trapping, localization and harmonic generation

V Delgado, J M Gomez Llorente

The time evolution of driven two-level systems in the far-off-resonance regime is studied analytically. We obtain a general first-order perturbative expression for the time-dependent density operator which is applicable regardless of the coupling strength value. In the strong-field regime, our perturbative expansion remains valid even when the far-off-resonance condition is not fulfilled. We find that, in the absence of dissipation, driven two-level systems exhibit coherent population trapping in a certain region of parameter space, a property which, in the particular case of a symmetric double-well potential, implies the well known localization of the system in one of the two wells. Finally, we show how the high-order harmonic generation that this kind of system displays can be obtained as a straightforward application of our formulation.

Second-order tunneling of two interacting bosons in a driven triple well

Zheng Zhou, Wenhua Hai, Qiongtao Xie +1 more

In this study we have investigated the quantum tunneling of two repulsive bosons in a triple-well potential, subject to a high-frequency driving field. By means of the multiple-time-scale asymptotic analysis, we evidence a far-off-resonant strongly interacting regime in which the dominant tunneling of doublons (paired states) is a second-order process and the selected coherent destruction of tunneling occurs either between doublons or between unpaired states. Two Floquet quasienergy bands of both kinds of states are given analytically, where a fine structure up to the second-order corrections is displayed. The analytical results are confirmed numerically, based on the exact model, and may be particularly relevant to controlling correlated tunneling in experiments.

Dynamical localization for two-level systems periodically driven

Daniele Lodi, Marco Maioli, Andrea Sacchetti

Here, we consider a two-level system driven by an external periodic field. We show that the coherent destruction of tunnelling, as proved by Grossmann and co-workers (1991 Phys. Rev. Lett. 67 516; 1992 Europhys. Lett. 18 571) in the case of a monochromatic field, also appears for any periodic driving field given by an even regular function with zero mean value and satisfying a technical condition on the zeros of this function.

Localization in a Driven Two-Level Dynamics

Frank Großmann, Peter Hänggi A

A periodically driven two-state dynamics, being analysed within the Floquet formalism, exhibits localization of the amplitude dynamics in an infinite frequency range, extending from the bare tunnel splitting up to infinity. In contrast, the suppression of tunnelling in a driven symmetric double well is restricted to a limited frequency regime, extending from the bare tunnel splitting up to the first resonance frequency with higher-lying states. With the amplitude dynamics of a periodically driven two-level system not being restricted to describe coherent tunnelling transport only, the localization phenomenon within the infinite frequency range does allow for novel applications for systems in strong laser fields.
