Topological Effect of Reduced Quantum Trajectory in Coherence and Decoherence
史旭光, 段一士, 秦志杰
Abstract
The topological expression of the reduced quantum trajectory is given by using φ-mapping topologicalcurrent theory.The topological expression is used in study of the coherence and the decoherence.We find the expressionof vorticity for decoherence has a similar form as that for coherence.A topological reason leading to the decoherenceis given and a new parameter is defined to indicate the coherence degree.The parameter is different from the dampingfactor because it relates to the topological structure of the reduced quantum trajectory.
