Symmetries of Liouvillians of squeeze-driven parametric oscillators
FRANCESCO IACHELLO, Colin Coane, Jayameenakshi Venkatraman
Abstract We study the symmetries of the Liouville superoperator of one dimensional parametric oscillators, especially the so-called squeeze-driven Kerr oscillator, and discover a remarkable quasi-spin symmetry su(2) at integer values of the ratio η = ω / K of the detuning parameter ω to the Kerr coefficient K, which reflects the symmetry previously found for the Hamiltonian operator. We find that the Liouvillian of an su(2) representation | j , m j ⟩ has a characteristic double-ellipsoidal structure, and calculate the relaxation time T X for this structure. We then study the phase transitions of the Liouvillian which occur as a function of the parameters ξ = ε 2 / K and η = ω / K . Finally, we study the temperature dependence of the spectrum of eigenvalues of the Liouvillian. Our findings may have applications in the generation and stabilization of states of interest in quantum computing.
