Quantum Zeno effect in a nonlinear coupler
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dynamics of a spontaneous downconversion process with the idler mode coupled to an auxiliary mode is analysed. Depending on the presence or absence of nonlinear phase mismatch, a Zeno or anti–Zeno effect is found. This behavior is understood by using the dressed modes picture of the device. A possibility to achieve a quasi–phase– matching by careful adjustment of coupling strength is pointed out.

متن کاملZeno effect and switching of solitons in nonlinear couplers.
The Zeno effect is investigated for soliton type pulses in a nonlinear directional coupler with dissipation. The effect consists in increase of the coupler transparency with increase of the dissipative losses in one of the arms. It is shown that localized dissipation can lead to switching of solitons between the arms. Power losses accompanying the switching can be fully compensated by using a c...
متن کاملQUANTUM ZENO AND QUANTUM ANTI-ZENO EFFECTS V. Gontis and B. Kaulakys
It is generally accepted that unstable systems decay according to an exponential law which has been experimentally verified on many quantum systems. However, deviation from exponential decay have been predicted for short as well as for very long decay times. The short-time deviation turns out to be very interesting due to its consequences leading to the so-called quantum Zeno effect – the inhib...
متن کاملQuantum Zeno effect in a probed downconversion process
The distorsion of a spontaneous downconvertion process caused by an auxiliary mode coupled to the idler wave is analyzed. In general, a strong coupling with the auxiliary mode tends to hinder the downconversion in the nonlinear medium. On the other hand, provided that the evolution is disturbed by the presence of a phase mismatch, the coupling may increase the speed of downconversion. These eff...

We show that the quadratic short time behaviour of transition probability is a natural consequence of the inner product of the Hilbert space of the quantum system. We provide a relation between the survival probability and the underlying geometric structure such as the Fubini-Study metric defined on the projective Hilbert space of the quantum system. This predicts the quantum Zeno effect even f...
