New structures in the theory of the laser model. II. Microscopic dynamics and a nonequilibrium entropy principle

1998

In a recent article, Alli and Sewell [J. Math. Phys. 36, 5598 (1995)] formulated a new version of the Dicke-Hepp-Lieb laser model in terms of quantum dynamical semigroups, and thereby extended the macroscopic picture of the model. In the present article, we complement that picture with a corresponding microscopic one, which carries the following new results. (a) The local microscopic dynamics of the model is piloted by the classical, macroscopic field, generated by the collective action of its components; (b) the global state of the system carries no correlations between its constituent atoms after transient effects have died out; and (c) in the latter situation, the state of the system at …

Irreversible work versus fidelity susceptibility for infinitesimal quenches

2016

We compare the irreversible work produced in an infinitesimal sudden quench of a quantum system at zero temperature with its ground state fidelity susceptibility, giving an explicit relation between the two quantities. We find that the former is proportional to the latter but for an extra term appearing in the irreversible work which includes also contributions from the excited states. We calculate explicitly the two quantities in the case of the quantum Ising chain, showing that at criticality they exhibit different scaling behaviors. The irreversible work, rescaled by square of the quench’s amplitude, exhibits a divergence slower than that of the fidelity susceptibility. As a consequence…

Spherical random-field systems with long-range interactions: general results and application to the Coulomb glass

1993

A classical spherical random-field Hamiltonian with long-range (power-law) interactions is investigated by means of the replica theory. Both ferromagnetic and anti-ferromagnetic interactions are considered. The use of continuous variables instead of Ising variables in the spherical version of the model allows one to calculate the free energy exactly. The existence of an equilibrium phase transition is investigated based on the replica-symmetric solution. The results are applied to the Coulomb-glass model of interacting localized electrons in a disordered solid. This model is shown not to have an equilibrium phase transition for spatial dimensions D 4 the model has a phase transition to an o…

Optical Bloch-mode-induced quasi phase matching of quadratic interactions in one-dimensional photonic crystals

2004

We examine in detail the quasi-phase-matching process obtained as a stationary modulation of the fundamental field at the band edge of a finite one-dimensional photonic crystal. The treatment is carried out in terms of the structure Bloch waves and fully explains the behavior of second-harmonic generation in the grating. An integrated microstructured AlGaAs mesa waveguide is proposed that gives efficient second-harmonic and difference-frequency generation in virtue of the combined presence of a periodic modulation of the fundamental-field amplitude and of the photonic bandgap edge.

The classical statistical mechanics of Frenkel-Kontorova models

1995

The scaling properties of the free energy, specific heat, and mean spacing are calculated for classical Frenkel-Kontorova models at low temperature, in three regimes: near the integrable limit, the anti-integrable limit, and the sliding-pinned transition (“transition by breaking of analyticity”). In particular, the renormalization scheme given in previous work for ground states of Frenkel-Kontorova models is extended to nonzero-temperature Gibbs states, and the hierarchical melting phenomenon of Vallet, Schilling, and Aubry is put on a rigorous footing.

Scattering on Riemannian Symmetric Spaces and Huygens Principle

2018

International audience; The famous paper by L. D. Faddeev and B. S. Pavlov (1972) on automorphic wave equation explored a highly romantic link between Scattering Theory (in the sense of Lax and Phillips) and Riemann hypothesis. An attempt to generalize this approach to general semisimple Lie groups leads to an interesting evolution system with multidimensional time explored by the author in 1976. In the present paper, we compare this system with a simpler one defined for zero curvature symmetric spaces and show that the Huygens principle for this system in the curved space holds if and only if it holds in the zero curvature limit.

DYNAMIC STRUCTURE FUNCTION OF QUANTUM BOSE SYSTEMS: CONDENSATE FRACTION AND MOMENTUM DISTRIBUTION

2008

We present results on the behavior of the dynamic structure function in the short wave length limit using the equation of motion method. Within this framework we study the linear response of a quantum system to an infinitesimal external perturbation by direct minimization of the action integral. As a result we get a set of coupled continuity equations which define the self-energy. We evaluate the self-energy and the dynamic structure function in the short wavelength limit and show that sum rules up to the third moment are fulfilled. This implies, for instance, that the self-energy at short wavelengths and zero frequency is proportional to the kinetic energy per particle. An essential featu…

We are concerned with the existence of solutions to the following nonlinear Schr\"odinger system in $\mathbb{R}^3$: \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{aligned} -\Delta u_1 + (x_1^2+x_2^2)u_1&= \lambda_1 u_1 + \mu_1 |u_1|^{p_1 -2}u_1 + \beta r_1|u_1|^{r_1-2}u_1|u_2|^{r_2}, \\ -\Delta u_2 + (x_1^2+x_2^2)u_2&= \lambda_2 u_2 + \mu_2 |u_2|^{p_2 -2}u_2 +\beta r_2 |u_1|^{r_1}|u_2|^{r_2 -2}u_2, \end{aligned} \right. \end{equation*} under the constraint \begin{align*} \int_{\mathbb{R}^3}|u_1|^2 \, dx = a_1>0,\quad \int_{\mathbb{R}^3}|u_2|^2 \, dx = a_2>0, \end{align*} where $\mu_1, \mu_2, \beta >0, 2 1, r_1 + r_2 < \frac{10}{3}$.

Strongly super-Poisson statistics replaced by a wide-pulse Poisson process: The billiard random generator

2021

Abstract In this paper we present a study on random processes consisting of delta pulses characterized by strongly super-Poisson statistics and calculate its spectral density. We suggest a method for replacing a strongly super-Poisson process with a wide-pulse Poisson process, while demonstrating that these two processes can be set in such a way to have similar spectral densities, the same mean values, and the same correlation times. We also present a billiard system that can be used to generate random pulse noise of arbitrary statistical properties. The particle dynamics is considered in terms of delta and wide pulses simultaneously. The results of numerical experiments with the billiard s…
