Population dynamics based on ladder bosonic operators

2021

Abstract We adopt an operatorial method, based on truncated bosons, to describe the dynamics of populations in a closed region with a non trivial topology. The main operator that includes the various mechanisms and interactions between the populations is the Hamiltonian, constructed with the density and transport operators. The whole evolution is derived from the Schrodinger equation, and the densities of the populations are retrieved from the normalized expected values of the density operators. We show that this approach is suitable for applications in very large domain, solving the computational issues that typically occur when using an Hamiltonian based on fermionic ladder operators.

Chaos and nonlinearities in high harmonic generation

2016

Linearity is a fundamental postulate of quantum mechanics which is occasionally the subject of debate. This paper investigates the possibility of checking this assumption by using a laser field. We study the corrections caused by the presence of a small nonlinearity in the Hamiltonian of a quantum system. As a model we use a simplified two-level quantum system whose states are coupled by a small off-diagonal term proportional to the population of the upper level. The nonlinearity causes spontaneous decay of the upper level, shift and broadening of the line and the sensitive dependence of the final state on the initial condition. The presence of a strong laser field, resonant with the atomic…

Organization of Quantum Bifurcations: Crossover of Rovibrational Bands in Spherical Top Molecules

1989

Qualitative changes in the rotational structure of a finite particle quantum system are studied. The crossover phenomenon is explained from the point of view of consecutive quantum bifurcations. The generic organization of bifurcations is related to the stratification of the space of dynamical variables imposed by the invariance group of the Hamiltonian.

Asymptotic structure factor for the two-component Ginzburg-Landau equation

1992

We derive an analytic form for the asymptotic time-dependent structure factor for the two-component Ginzburg-Landau equation in arbitrary dimensions. This form is in reasonable agreement with results from numerical simulations in two dimensions. A striking feature of our analytic form is the absence of Porod's law in the tail. This is a consequence of the continuous symmetry of the Hamiltonian, which inhibits the formation of sharp domain walls.

Universality classes for wetting in two-dimensional random-bond systems

1991

Interface-unbinding transitions, such as those arising in wetting phenomena, are studied in two-dimensional systems with quenched random impurities and general interactions. Three distinct universality classes or scaling regimes are investigated using scaling arguments and extensive transfer-matrix calculations. Both the critical exponents and the critical amplitudes are determined for the weak- and the strong-fluctuation regime. In the borderline case of the intermediate-fluctuation regime, the asymptotic regime is not accessible to numerical simulations. We also find strong evidence for a nontrivial delocalization transition of an interface that is pinned to a line of defects.

Finite-size-scaling study of the simple cubic three-state Potts glass: Possible lower critical dimension d=3.

1990

For small lattices with linear dimension L ranging from L=3 to L=8 we obtain the distribution function P(q) of the overlap q between two real replicas of the three-state Potts-glass model with symmetric nearest-neighbor interaction with a Gaussian distribution. A finite-size-scaling analysis suggests a zero-temperature transition to occur with an exponentially diverging correlation length ${\ensuremath{\xi}}_{\mathrm{SG}}$\ensuremath{\sim}exp(C/${\mathit{T}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\sigma}}}$). This implies that d=3 is the lower critical dimension.

The ground state rotational spectrum of SO2F2

2003

Abstract The analysis of the ground state rotational spectrum of SO 2 F 2 [K. Sarka, J. Demaison, L. Margules, I. Merke, N. Heineking, H. Burger, H. Ruland, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 200 (2000) 55] has been performed with the Watson’s Hamiltonian up to sextic terms but shows some limits due to the A and S reductions. Since SO 2 F 2 is a quasi-spherical top, it can also be regarded as derived from an hypothetical XY 4 molecule. Thus we have developed a new tensorial formalism in the O (3)⊃ T d ⊃ C 2 v group chain (M. Rotger, V. Boudon, M. Loete, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 216 (2002) 297]. We test it on the ground state of this molecule using the same experimental data (10 GHz–1 THz region, J up to 99). Bot…

Coulomb Fourier Transformation: Application to a Three-Body Hamiltonian with One Attractive Coulomb Interaction

2003

Consider a three-body system consisting of one neutral particle 1 and two charged particles characterized by the indices 2 and 3 with charges of opposite sign, i.e., e2e3 < 0. We use the following notation: (x ν , y ν ), v = 1, 2, 3, denotes the (mass-renormalized) coordinate vector within the pair ν, and between the center of mass of the pair ν and particle ν, respectively. The corresponding canonically coniugate momenta are (k ν , p ν ).

Multifractal Properties of Eigenstates in Weakly Disordered Two-Dimensional Systems without Magnetic Field

1992

In order to investigate the electronic states in weakly disordered 2D samples very large (up to 180 000 * 180 000) secular matrices corresponding to the Anderson Hamiltonian are diagonalized. The analysis of the resulting wave functions shows multifractal fluctuations on all length scales in the considered systems. The set of generalized (fractal) dimensions and the singularity spectrum of the fractal measure are determined in order to completely characterize the eigenfunctions.
