Simple quantum model for light depolarization
Polarization of light is a fascinating concept that has deserved a lot of attention over the years. Today, the field is witnessing a renewed interest because of the fast developments in optics, both on the applications and on the more fundamental aspects. Moreover, the polarization of a field is a robust characteristic, which is relatively simple to manipulate without inducing more than margina...
متن کاملSU(2)-invariant depolarization of quantum states of light
We develop an SU(2)-invariant approach to the depolarization of quantum systems as the effect of random unitary SU(2) transformations. From it we derive an SU(2)-invariant Markovian master equation. This is applied to several quantum states examining whether nonclassical states are more sensible to depolarization than the classical ones. Furthermore, we show that this depolarization model provi...
متن کاملA Simple Confinement Mechanism for Light-Front Quantum Chromodynamics
Light-front field theory offers a scenario in which a constituent picture of hadrons may arise, but only if cutoffs that violate explicit covariance and gauge invariance are used. The perturbative renormalization group can be used to approximate the cutoff QCD hamiltonian, and even at lowest orders the resultant hamiltonian displays interesting phenomenological features. A general scheme for co...
متن کاملA simple model for 2-D upconversion of incoherent light
We present a simple theoretical model for 2 dimensional (2-D) image up-conversion of incoherent light. While image upconversion has been known for more than 40 years, the technology has been hindered by very low conversion quantum efficiency (~10). We show that our implementation compared to previous work can result in a feasible system: Using intracavity upconversion and Quasi Phase Matching (...
متن کاملA simple model of quantum trajectories
Quantum trajectory theory, developed largely in the quantum optics community to describe open quantum systems subjected to continuous monitoring, has applications in many areas of quantum physics. In this paper I present a simple model, using two-level quantum systems (q-bits), to illustrate the essential physics of quantum trajectories and how different monitoring schemes correspond to differe...
