Decoherence of Superposition of Vacuum State and Single-photon State in Diffusion Process Under the Action of Linear Resonance Force
LU Dao-min
Abstract
The diffusion master equations of density operators under action of linear resonance force were concisely solved by virtue of thermo entangled state representation and the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators.The evolution formula of the field density operator was given,and the Wigner function evolution formula which is in superposition of vacuum state and single-photon state initially was obtained.By numerically calculating the Wigner function was plotted,and the evolution of negative volume of Wigner function with dissipation time was calculated.Through the analysis of the Wigner function,the effect of decoherence on nonclassical property of the state was discussed.Numerical results show that the negativity area size and the depth of negativity of its Wigner function decrease until vanish with dissipation time.In addition,on the other hand,Wigner function can be slipped under the action of linear resonance force.
