Lindblad Equation for Harmonic Oscillator: Uncertainty Relation Depending on Temperature

Boris Volodumurovich Bondarev

Published Jan 1, 2017• 2 citations
Publisher

Abstract

Specific nonequilibrium states of the quantum harmonic oscillator described by the Lindblad equation have been hereby suggested. This equation makes it possible to determine time-varying effects produced by statistical operator or statistical matrix. Thus, respective representation-varied equilibrium statistical matrixes have been found. Specific mean value equations have been found and their equilibrium solutions have been obtained.

Damped quantum harmonic oscillator: density operator and related quantities

Аурелиан Исар

A closed expression for the density operator of the damped harmonic oscillator is extracted from the master equation based on the Lindblad theory for open quantum systems. The entropy and effective temperature of the system are subsequently calculated and their temporal behaviour is surveyed by showing how these quantities relax to their equilibrium values. The entropy for a state characterized by a Wigner distribution function which is Gaussian in form is found to depend only on the variance of the distribution function.

Damped quantum harmonic oscillator

Аурелиан Исар, A. Sãndulescu

In the framework of the Lindblad theory for open quantum systems the damping of the harmonic oscillator is studied. A generalization of the fundamental constraints on quantum mechanical diffusion coefficients which appear in the master equation for the damped quantum oscillator is presented; the Schrödinger and Heisenberg representations of the Lindblad equation are given explicitly. On the basis of these representations it is shown that various master equations for the damped quantum oscillator used in the literature are particular cases of the Lindblad equation and that the majority of these equations are not satisfying the constraints on quantum mechanical diffusion coefficients. Analytical expressions for the first two moments of coordinate and momentum are also obtained by using the characteristic function of the Lindblad master equation. The master equation is transformed into Fokker-Planck equations for quasiprobability distributions. A comparative study is made for the Glauber $P$ representation, the antinormal ordering $Q$ representation and the Wigner $W$ representation. It is proven that the variances for the damped harmonic oscillator found with these representations are the same. By solving the Fokker-Planck equations in the steady state, it is shown that the quasiprobability distributions are two-dimensional Gaussians with widths determined by the diffusion coefficients. The density matrix is represented via a generating function, which is obtained by solving a time-dependent linear partial differential equation derived from the master equation. Illustrative examples for specific initial conditions of the density matrix are provided.

Thermodynamics of the standard quantum harmonic oscillator of time-dependent frequency with and without inverse quadratic potential

Jeong-Ryeol Choi, Shou Zhang

Making use of a dynamical invariant operator, we obtain a quantum mechanical solution of a damped harmonic oscillator having time-dependent frequency with and without inverse quadratic potential. We confirm that the uncertainty relation is always larger than ℏ/2 in both the number and thermal state. We obtain a density operator satisfying the Liouville-von Neumann equation, and use its diagonal elements to calculate various expectation values in the thermal state.

Lindblad dynamics of the damped and forced quantum harmonic oscillator: General solution

H. J. Korsch

The quantum dynamics of a damped and forced harmonic oscillator described by a Lindblad master equation is analyzed. The master equation is converted into a matrix-vector representation and the resulting non-Hermitian Schrödinger equation is solved by Lie-algebraic techniques allowing the construction of the general solution for the density operator.

Damped harmonic oscillator within the Lindblad theory

Аурелиан Исар

The time evolution of the density matrix of the damped harmonic oscillator is studied within the Lindblad theory for open quantum systems. The density matrix is represented via a generating function, which is obtained by solving a time-dependent linear partial differential equation, derived from the master equation of to damped harmonic oscillator. Illustrative examples for specific initial conditions of the density matrix are provided. The Lindblad master equation is also transformed into Fokker-Planck equations for quasiprobability distributions. A comparative study is made for the Glauber P representation, the antinormal-ordering Q representation and Wigner W representation. (Author).
