Perturbative Treatment of the Evolution Operator Associated with Raman Couplings

Published May 10, 2006• 1 citation

Abstract

A novel perturbative treatment of the time evolution operator of a quantum system is applied to the model describing a Raman-driven trapped ion in order to obtain a suitable 'effective model'.It is shown that the associated effective Hamiltonian describes the system dynamics up to a certain transformation which may be interpreted as a 'dynamical dressing' of the effective model.

Time-dependent perturbation treatment of independent Raman schemes

The problem of a trapped ion subjected to the action of two or more independent Raman schemes is analysed through a suitable time-dependent perturbative approach based on the factorization of the evolution operator in terms of other unitary operators. We show that the dynamics of the system may be traced back to an effective Hamiltonian up to a suitable dressing. Moreover, we give the method to write the master equation corresponding to the case wherein spontaneous decays occur

Coarse grained and fine dynamics in trapped ion Raman schemes

Benedetto Militello, Paolo Aniello, ANTONINO MESSINA

A novel result concerning Raman coupling schemes implemented using trapped ions is obtained. By means of an operator perturbative approach, it is shown that the complete time evolution of these systems can be expressed, with a high degree of accuracy, as the product of two unitary evolutions. The first one describes the time evolution related to an effective coarse grained dynamics. The second is a suitable correction restoring the fine dynamics suppressed by the coarse graining performed to adiabatically eliminate the nonresonantly coupled atomic level.

A new perturbative expansion of the time evolution operator associated with a quantum system

A novel expansion of the evolution operator associated with an—in general, time-dependent—perturbed quantum Hamiltonian is presented. It is shown that it has a wide range of possible realizations that can be fitted according to computational convenience or to satisfy specific requirements. As a remarkable example, the quantum Hamiltonian describing a laser-driven trapped ion is studied in detail.

The Hamiltonian describing a single ion placed in a potential trap in interaction with a laser beam is studied by means of a suitable perturbative approach. It is shown, in particular, that the rotating wave approximation does not provide the correct expression, at the first perturbative order, of the evolution operator of the system.

Method for Finding the Exact Effective Hamiltonian of Time‐Driven Quantum Systems

Abstract Time‐driven quantum systems are important in many different fields of physics as cold atoms, solid state, optics, etc. Many of their properties are encoded in the time evolution operator or the effective Hamiltonian. Finding these operators usually requires very complex calculations that often involve some approximations. To perform this task, a systematic scheme that can be cast in the form of a symbolic computational algorithm is presented. It is suitable for periodic and non‐periodic potentials and, for convoluted systems, can also be adapted to yield numerical solutions. The method exploits the structure of the associated Lie group and a decomposition of the evolution operator on each group generator. To illustrate the use of the method, five examples are provided: harmonic oscillator with time‐dependent frequency (Paul trap), modulated optical lattice, time‐driven quantum oscillator, a step‐wise driving of a free particle, and the non‐periodic Caldirola‐Kanai Hamiltonian. To the extent of the authors' knowledge, whereas the exact form of Paul trap's evolution operator is well known, its effective Hamiltonian was until now unknown. The remaining four examples accurately reproduce previous results.
