Time-dependent entropy of simple quantum model systems

چکیده
Information-theoretic entropy measures are useful tools for quantifying the spreading of quantum states in phase space. In the present paper, we compare the time evolution of the joint entropy for three simple quantum systems: sid a free Gaussian wave packet, siid a wave packet in a monochromatic electromagnetic field, and siiid a wave packet tunneling through a d barrier. As initial condition maximal classical states are used, which minimize the Heisenberg uncertainty and the entropy. It is found that, in all three cases, the joint entropy increases in time.

In this paper we study some monotone behavior of the residual (past) entropy of order . We prove that, under some relation between the hazard rates (reversed hazard rates) of two distributions functions F and G, when the residual (past) entropy of order of F is decreasing (increasing) then the residual (past) entropy of G is decreasing (increasing). Using this, several conclusions regarding mo...
متن کاملCoherent Control of Quantum Entropy via Quantum Interference in a Four-Level Atomic System
The time evaluation of quantum entropy in a four-level double- type atomic system is theoretically investigated. Quantum entanglement of the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is then discussed via quantum entropy. It is found that the degree of entanglement can be increased by the quantum interference induced by spontaneous emission. The phase dependence of the atom-field entanglement is...

متن کاملTime-Dependent Real-Space Renormalization Group Method
In this paper, using the tight-binding model, we extend the real-space renormalization group method to time-dependent Hamiltonians. We drive the time-dependent recursion relations for the renormalized tight-binding Hamiltonian by decimating selective sites of lattice iteratively. The formalism is then used for the calculation of the local density of electronic states for a one dimensional quant...
