چکیده
We consider the Jaynes-Cummings model for N particles in the thermodynamic limit showing how it can produce decoherence on a Schrödinger cat state. This mechanism can be observed in current experiments with cavities. PACS: 03.65.Yz, 5.70.Ln

متن کامل2 General Theorems on Decoherence in the Thermodynamic Limit ∗
We extend the results on decoherence in the thermodynamic limit [M. Frasca, Phys. Lett. A 283, 271 (2001)] to general Hamiltonians. It is shown that N independent particles, initially properly prepared, have a set of observables behaving classically in the thermodynamic limit. This particular set of observables is then coupled to a quantum system that in this way decoheres so to have the densit...
متن کاملA Quantum Many-Body Instability in the Thermodynamic Limit
Intrinsic decoherence in the thermodynamic limit is shown for a large class of many-body quantum systems in the unitary evolution in NMR and cavity QED. The effect largely depends on the inability of the system to recover the phases. Gaussian decaying in time of the fidelity is proved for spin systems and radiation-matter interaction.
متن کاملClassical states and decoherence by unitary evolution in the thermodynamic limit
It is shown how classical states, meant as states representing a classical object, can be produced in the thermodynamic limit, retaining the unitary evolution of quantum mechanics. Besides, using a simple model of a single spin interacting with a spin-bath, it is seen how decoherence, with the offdiagonal terms in the density matrix going to zero, can be obtained when the number of the spins in...
متن کاملDynamical disappearance of superposition states in the thermodynamic limit
It is shown that a macroscopic superposition state of radiation, strongly interacting with an ensemble of two-level atoms, is removed generating a coherent state describing a classical radiation field, when the thermodynamic limit is taken on the unitary evolution obtained by the Schrödinger equation. Decoherence appears as a dynamical effect in agreement with a recent proposal [M. Frasca, Phys...
