Slow-light solitons
2007
We investigate propagation of slow-light solitons in atomic media described by the nonlinear � -model. Under a physical assumption, appropriate to the slow light propagation, we reduce the � -scheme to a simplified nonlinear model, which is also relevant to 2D dilatonic gravity. Exact solutions describing various regimes of stopping slow-light solitons can then be readily derived.
Quantum Ring in a Magnetic Field: High Harmonic Generation and NOT Logic Gate
2020
The effect of a static magnetic field on the high harmonic generation (HHG) from a quantum ring driven by one laser polarized along the x-axis is studied. The spin polarization (Formula presented.) and the temporal emission of the harmonics are studied by varying the intensity of the magnetic field and it is shown how these results have a significant technological impact in computer technology; in fact a boolean algebra can be implemented by assigning 0 and 1 values to low and high pulse intensities of the emitted harmonics and logic gates like the NOT can be created.
Quantum graphs with mixed dynamics: the transport/diffusion case
2013
We introduce a class of partial differential equations on metric graphs associated with mixed evolution: on some edges we consider diffusion processes, on other ones transport phenomena. This yields a system of equations with possibly nonlocal couplings at the boundary. We provide sufficient conditions for these to be governed by a contractive semigroup on a Hilbert space naturally associated with the system. We show that our setting is also adequate to discuss specific systems of diffusion equations with boundary delays.
Coherent states: a contemporary panorama
2012
Coherent states (CS) of the harmonic oscillator (also called canonical CS) were introduced in 1926 by Schr?dinger in answer to a remark by Lorentz on the classical interpretation of the wave function. They were rediscovered in the early 1960s, first (somewhat implicitly) by Klauder in the context of a novel representation of quantum states, then by Glauber and Sudarshan for the description of coherence in lasers. Since then, CS have grown into an extremely rich domain that pervades almost every corner of physics and have also led to the development of several flourishing topics in mathematics. Along the way, a number of review articles have appeared in the literature, devoted to CS, notably…
A criterion for entanglement in two two-level systems
2007
We prove a necessary and sufficient condition for the occurrence of entanglement in two two-level systems, simple enough to be of experimental interest. Our results are illustrated in the context of a spin star system analyzing the exact entanglement evolution of the central couple of spins.
Cavity losses for the dissipative Jaynes–Cummings Hamiltonian beyond rotating wave approximation
2007
A microscopic derivation of the master equation for the Jaynes-Cummings model with cavity losses is given, taking into account the terms in the dissipator which vary with frequencies of the order of the vacuum Rabi frequency. Our approach allows to single out physical contexts wherein the usual phenomenological dissipator turns out to be fully justified and constitutes an extension of our previous analysis [Scala M. {\em et al.} 2007 Phys. Rev. A {\bf 75}, 013811], where a microscopic derivation was given in the framework of the Rotating Wave Approximation.
Non linear pseudo-bosons versus hidden Hermiticity
2011
The increasingly popular concept of a hidden Hermiticity of operators (i.e., of their Hermiticity with respect to an {\it ad hoc} inner product in Hilbert space) is compared with the recently introduced notion of {\em non-linear pseudo-bosons}. The formal equivalence between these two notions is deduced under very general assumptions. Examples of their applicability in quantum mechanics are discussed.
Entanglement criteria for Dicke states
2013
Dicke states are a family of multi-qubit quantum states with interesting entanglement properties and have been observed in many experiments. We construct entanglement witnesses for detecting genuine multiparticle entanglement in the vicinity of these states. We use the approach of PPT mixtures to derive the conditions analytically. For nearly all cases, our criteria are stronger than all conditions previously known.
Quantum Walk Search with Time-Reversal Symmetry Breaking
2015
We formulate Grover's unstructured search algorithm as a chiral quantum walk, where transitioning in one direction has a phase conjugate to transitioning in the opposite direction. For small phases, this breaking of time-reversal symmetry is too small to significantly affect the evolution: the system still approximately evolves in its ground and first excited states, rotating to the marked vertex in time $\pi \sqrt{N} / 2$. Increasing the phase does not change the runtime, but rather changes the support for the 2D subspace, so the system evolves in its first and second excited states, or its second and third excited states, and so forth. Apart from the critical phases corresponding to these…
Duality of reduced density matrices and their eigenvalues
2014
For states of quantum systems of N particles with harmonic interactions we prove that each reduced density matrix ρ obeys a duality condition. This condition implies duality relations for the eigenvalues λk of ρ and relates a harmonic model with length scales ${{\ell }_{1}},{{\ell }_{2}},\ldots ,{{\ell }_{N}}$ with another one with inverse lengths $1/{{\ell }_{1}},1/{{\ell }_{2}},\ldots ,1/{{\ell }_{N}}$. Entanglement entropies and correlation functions inherit duality from ρ. Self-duality can only occur for noninteracting particles in an isotropic harmonic trap.
