Abstract

A simplified operator correspondence scheme is derived to address nonlinear quantum systems within the framework of the [Formula: see text]-representation. The simplified method is applied to a general nonlinear quantum oscillator model that has been used in the literature to describe nonlinear quantum optical and matter wave systems. The [Formula: see text]-representation evolution equation for the model is derived for arbitrary nonlinearity exponents. It is shown that in the high temperature case, the [Formula: see text]-representation is sufficient to describe the model and its associated systems such that there is no need to use alternative, mathematically more involved representations. Systems with quadratic and cubic nonlinearities are considered in more detail. Distributions for the energy levels and photon and particle numbers are obtained within the framework of the [Formula: see text]-representation. Moreover, the electrical field oscillation frequency dependency is studied numerically when interpreting the model as model for quantum optical nonlinear oscillators.

f-Oscillators and Nonlinear Coherent States

Vladimir I. Man’ko, Giuseppe Marmo, E. C. G. Sudarshan +1 more

The notion of f-oscillators generalizing q-oscillators is introduced. For classical and quantum cases, an interpretation of the f-oscillator is provided as corresponding to a special nonlinearity of vibration for which the frequency of oscillation depends on the energy. The f-coherent states (nonlinear coherent states) generalizing q-coherent states are constructed. Applied to quantum optics, photon distribution function, photon number means, and dispersions are calculated for the f-coherent states as well as the Wigner function and Q-function. As an example, it is shown how this nonlinearity may affect the Planck distribution formula.

Quantum dynamics in the partial Wigner picture

Geoff Beck, Alessandro Sergi

Recently we have shown how the partial Wigner representation of quantum mechanics can be used to study hybrid quantum models where a system with a finitenumber ofenergy levels iscoupled tolinearornonlinear oscillators(Beck and Sergi 2013 Phys. Lett. A 377 1047). The purpose of this work is to provide a detailed derivation of the partially Wigner-transformed quantum equations of motion for nonlinear oscillator subsystems under the action of general polynomial potentials. Such equations can be written in terms of a propagator, which can then be expanded in a power series. The linear terms of the series describe quantum-classical dynamics while the nonlinear terms provide the corrections needed to restore the fully quantum character of the evolution. In thecaseofpolynomialpotentialsandpositiondependentcouplings,thenumber of nonlinear terms is finite and the corrections can be calculated explicitly. In this work we show how to implement numerically the above scheme where, in principle, no assumption about the strength of the coupling must be taken. We illustrate the formalism by studying a two-level system interacting with an asymmetric quartic oscillator. We integrate the quantum dynamics of the total system and provide a comparison with the case of the quantum-classical dynamics of the quartic oscillator. The approach presented here is expected to be effective for studying hybrid quantum circuits in quantum information theoryandforwitnessingthequantum-to-classicaltransitioninnano-oscillators coupled to pseudo-spins.

Quantum derivation of Manley Rowe type relations

M. Fernández‐Guasti, H. M. Moya-Cessa

The Ermakov Lewis quantum invariant for the time dependent harmonic oscillator is expressed in terms of number and phase operators. The identification of these variables is made in accordance with the correspondence principle and the amplitude and phase representation of the classical orthogonal functions invariant. The relationship between the number and phase operators is established through this invariant as the system evolves from one frequency to another. In the specific case where the excitations represent the photon number, these relations are equivalent to the power density transport equations derived in nonlinear optical processes.

HIGH FREQUENCY BEHAVIOR OF THE MAXWELL–BLOCH MODEL WITH RELAXATION: CONVERGENCE TO THE SCHRÖDINGER-RATE SYSTEM

François Castella, Éric Dumas

We study the Maxwell–Bloch model, which describes the propagation of a laser through a material and the associated interaction between laser and matter (polarization of the atoms through light propagation, photon emission and absorption, etc.). The laser field is described through Maxwell's equations, a classical equation, while matter is represented at a quantum level and satisfies a quantum Liouville equation known as the Bloch model. Coupling between laser and matter is described through a quadratic source term in both equations. The model also takes into account partial relaxation effects, namely the trend of matter to return to its natural thermodynamic equilibrium. The whole system involves 6 + N(N + 1)/2 unknowns, the six-dimensional electromagnetic field plus the N(N + 1)/2 unknowns describing the state of matter, where N is the number of atomic energy levels of the considered material. We consider at once a high frequency and weak coupling situation, in the general case of anisotropic electromagnetic fields that are subject to diffraction. Degenerate energy levels are allowed. The whole system is stiff and involves strong nonlinearities. We show the convergence to a nonstiff, nonlinear, coupled Schrödinger-rate model, involving 3 + N unknowns. The electromagnetic field is eventually described through its envelope, one unknown vector in ℂ3. It satisfies a Schrödinger equation that takes into account propagation and diffraction of light inside the material. Matter on the other hand is described through a N-dimensional vector describing the occupation numbers of each atomic level. It satisfies Einstein's rate equation that describes the jumps of the electrons between the various atomic energy levels, as induced by the interaction with light. The rate of exchange between the atomic levels is proportional to the intensity of the laser field. The whole system is the physically natural nonlinear model. In order to provide an important and explicit example, we completely analyze the specific (two-dimensional) Transverse Magnetic case, for which formulae turn out to be simpler. Technically speaking, our analysis does not enter the usual mathematical framework of geometric optics: it is more singular, and requires an ad hoc Ansatz.

Nonlinear coherent state representation and related generalized Wigner function

Hong-Yi Fan, Hailing Cheng

The generalized Wigner operator and Wigner distribution function in phase space corresponding to the field-intensity-dependent operators is constructed in the nonlinear coherent state representation. The generalized Wigner theorem is also derived. The whole discussion is based on the technique of integration within an ordered product of the field-intensity-dependent operators.
