A Diffusion Equation for Quantum Adiabatic Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
For ergodic adiabatic quantum systems, we study the evolution of energy distribution as the system evolves in time. Starting from the von Neumann equation for the density operator, we obtain the quantum analogue of the Smoluchowski equation on coarse-graining over the energy spectrum. This result brings out the precise notion of quantum diffusion.

A Correlation for the Prediction of the Adiabatic Joule-Thomson Coefficient of Pure Gases and Gas Mixtures
A correlation based on the general form of cubic equations of state has been derived. This equation provides a convenient mathematical form of the Joule-Thomson coefficient in terms of the state variable V and T. The Joule-Thomson coefficient calculated by this correlation has been compared with experimental data. It has been shown that the Redilich-Kwang equation of state is a suitable equ...

We study the non-equilibrium dynamics of solitons in model Hamiltonians for Peierls dimer-ized quasi-one dimensional conducting polymers and commensurate charge density wave systems. The real time equation of motion for the collective coordinate of the soliton and the associated Langevin equation is found in a consistent adiabatic expansion in terms of the ratio of the optical phonon or phason ...
متن کاملExponential Estimates in Adiabatic Quantum Evolution
We review recent results concerning the exponential behaviour of transition probabilities across a gap in the adiabatic limit of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. They range from an exponential estimate in quite general situations to asymptotic Landau-Zener type formulae for finite dimensional systems, or systems reducible to this case.
متن کاملValidity of Quantum Adiabatic Theorem
The consistency of quantum adiabatic theorem has been doubted recently. It is shown in the present paper, that the difference between the adiabatic solution and the exact solution to the Schrödinger equation with a slowly changing driving Hamiltonian is small; while the difference between their time derivatives is not small. This explains why substituting the adiabatic solution back into Schröd...
متن کاملImplementation of Single-Qutrit Quantum Gates via Tripod Adiabatic Passage
We proposed and analyzed implementation of the single-qutrit quantum gates based on stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) between magnetic sublevels in atoms coupled by pulsed laser fields. This technique requires only the control of the relative phase of the driving fields but do not involve any dynamical or geometrical phases, which make it independent of the other interaction details: ...
