Derivation of Conservation Laws Quantum-Correlation Theory

dibyendu Jana, Sobhan Kumar Sounda

Published Sep 19, 2023• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

This paper extends the foundational concept to second-order quantum correlation tensors, representing intensity-intensity correlations. As their application in diverse optical field experiments gaining importance, we investigate conserved quantities such as energy, linear and angular momentum and illuminate the dynamic nature of quantum correlations.

Conservation Laws in Quantum-Correlation-Function Dynamics

Wei Wang, Mitsuo Wada Takeda

For a complete and lucid discussion of quantum correlation, we introduced two new first-order correlation tensors defined as linear combinations of the general coherence tensors of the quantized fields and derived the associated coherence potentials governing the propagation of quantum correlation. On the basis of these quantum optical coherence tensors, we further introduced new concepts of scalar, vector and tensor densities and presented some related properties, such as conservation laws and the wave-particle duality for quantum correlation, which provide new insights into photon statistics and quantum correlation.

Correlation Theory of Quantized Electromagnetic Fields. I. Dynamical Equations and Conservation Laws

C. L. Mehta, E. Wolf

Dynamical equations are derived, which describe the space-time development of second-order coherence tensors of a quantized electromagnetic field in vacuo. With the help of these equations, laws for the conservation of correlations are obtained. Some new non-negative-definiteness conditions which the coherence tensors obey are also established.

In analog to the electromagnetic momentum, we introduce vector and tensor densities to the general coherence theory of vector electromagnetic fields, and present new conservation laws for the second- order correlation functions.

Conservation laws

Harry Paul

As in classical physics, also in quantum mechanics: physical processes are bound to obey conservation laws. However, there is an important difference. While in classical physics we can suppose that all variables have definite values (irrespective of whether we know them or not), quantum mechanics allows them to be intrinsically uncertain. In those cases conservation laws apply only to ensemble averages (expectation values), and hence are less informative. They show their full strength in measurement processes. Then the measured values satisfy the respective conservation laws in any individual experiment. Let me remind you of spin measurements on a system of two spin-½ particles, being in a state with zero total spin, which we used in Section 5.5 to illustrate the EPR paradox. The spin components, with respect to an arbitrarily chosen direction, of the two particles are indefinite; however, measuring them yields definite values (+½ or −½) that add up to zero, thus confirming the angular conservation law. In the following, we will consider some realistic experiments for which conservation laws provide a simple explanation. Energy and momentum conservation For an understanding of the interaction between matter and radiation, Einstein's photon concept (actually, he spoke of ‘light quanta’) proved to be very helpful. He assumed photons to be particle-like constituents of electromagnetic radiation, in particular light. They have the energy h ν, where ν is the frequency of the radiation field. (Since the electromagnetic spectrum extends over an extremely wide range, there is a huge number of different sorts of photons.) The crucial point is that photons are generated or annihilated only as a whole. This property gives rise to typical quantum effects.
