Schrödinger cat states and single runs for the damped harmonic oscillator

Abstract

We discuss the fate of initial states of the Schr"odinger cat type for the damped harmonic oscillator, mostly employing a linear version of the stochastic Schr"odinger equation. We also comment on how such cat states might be prepared and on the relation of single realizations of the noise to single runs of experiments.

Damped harmonic oscillator: Pure states of the bath and exact master equations

Andrey Pereverzev

Time evolution of a harmonic oscillator linearly coupled to a heat bath is compared for three classes of initial states for the bath modes-grand canonical ensemble, number states, and coherent states. It is shown that for a wide class of number states the behavior of the oscillator is similar to the case of the equilibrium bath. If the bath modes are initially in coherent states, then the variances of the oscillator coordinate and momentum, as well as its entanglement to the bath, asymptotically approach the same values as for the oscillator at zero temperature and the average coordinate and momentum show a Brownian-like behavior. We derive an exact master equation for the characteristic function of the oscillator valid for arbitrary factorized initial conditions. In the case of the equilibrium bath this equation reduces to an equation of the Hu-Paz-Zhang type, while for the coherent states bath it leads to an exact stochastic master equation with a multiplicative noise.

On Schrödinger cat states and classical distinguishability

K. Kong Wan, R Green, Colin Trueman

There has been a lot of interest recently in what are referred to as Schrodinger cat states. No precise formulation of the concepts of Schrodinger cat states and classical distinguishability appears to exist. This paper aims to explore these concepts. A number of illustrative examples are presented, including a perturbed harmonic oscillator admitting coherent states with time-dependent amplitude modulation. One can convert the results on harmonic oscillators to single-mode optical systems in the standard manner. It would be interesting to see an experimental realization of these amplitude-modulated coherent states.

Quantization of the linearly damped harmonic oscillator

H. Dekker

A previously developed novel theory for the formal canonical quantization of classically dissipating systems will be the starting point for a detailed discussion of the quantum statistical aspects of the simple linearly damped harmonic oscillator. The formalism essentially involves complex classical canonical coordinates and momenta, and thus quite naturally leads to the possibility of creation and annihilation operators. Furthermore, the occurrence of quantal noise operators appears to be of principal importance for the conservation of the fundamental commutator in the course of time, as will be expressed in a simple fluctuation-dissipation relation. Making a canonical transformation back to the real, Cartesian Hermitian position and momentum an "effective" Hermitian Hamiltonian will be derived, with which a transformation is made from the Heisenberg frame to the Schr\"odinger frame where the density operator equation will be computed. This will make it obvious that no proper Schr\"odinger equation exists for the dissipative subsystem on its own, thus reflecting an incomplete knowledge. The master equation will then be translated into its Wigner representation. The intimate connection between the diffusion coefficients in the resulting Fokker-Planck equation and the uncertainty relation will be demonstrated in a clear fashion.

Coherent states and the resonance of a quantum damped oscillator

V. V. Dodonov, Vladimir I. Man’ko

A quantum-mechanical model of a damped harmonic oscillator (both with time-independent and time-dependent parameters) is studied in the framework of the linear Schr\"odinger equation with a Hermitian nonstationary Hamiltonian. Integrals of the motion of this equation and their eigenstates, including coherent states, are constructed. The influence of an external harmonic force to the time evolution of various average values calculated over coherent states is considered, including the resonance case. The specific symmetry of the Hamiltonian leading to the new concept of loss-energy states is discussed.

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.

Classical Behavior of a Macroscopic Schrödinger Cat

Carlo Presilla A

We study the dynamics of classical and quantum systems linearly interacting with a classical environment represented by an infinite set of harmonic oscillators. The environment induces a dynamical localization of the quantum state into a generalized coherent state for which the ħ → 0 limit always exists and reproduces the classical motion. We describe the consequences of this localization on the behavior of a macroscopic system by considering the example of a Schrödinger cat.
