Dynamics of entangled quantum optical system in independent media
We study the dynamics of two three-level atoms interacting with independent bosonic Lorentzian reservoirs at zero temperature. Such systems can be created in far astronomical objects. Quantum mechanical behaviour of these particles can produce detectable effects on the spectroscopic identifications of these objects, if such behaviour remain stable during the interaction with their media. It is ...
متن کاملGeometry of Mixed States and Degeneracy Structure of Geometric Phases for Multi-level Quantum Systems. a Unitary Group Approach
We analyze the geometric aspects of unitary evolution of general states for a multilevel quantum system by exploiting the structure of coadjoint orbits in the unitary group Lie algebra. Using the same methods in the case of SU(3) we study the effect of degeneracies on geometric phases for three-level systems. This is shown to lead to a highly nontrivial generalization of the result for two-leve...
متن کاملDensity Matrices and Geometric Phases for n-state Systems
An explicit parameterization is given for the density matrices for n-state systems. The geometry of the space of pure and mixed states and the entropy of the n-state system is discussed. Geometric phases can arise in only specific subspaces of the space of all density matrices. The possibility of obtaining nontrivial abelian and nonabelian geometric phases in these subspaces is discussed. Perma...
متن کاملOn Cyclic Evolution of Mixed States in Two-Level Systems
Cyclic evolutions of quantum states are accompanied by geometric phases. This should remain true not only for pure but also for mixed states, then resulting in noncommutative phases. After a short introduction expressions for the parallel transport of these phases along geodesic polygons are derived. They become rather explicit for two-level systems, predicting definite deviations from the pure...
متن کاملNon-Abelian Geometric Phase for General Three-Dimensional Quantum Systems
Adiabatic U(2) geometric phases are studied for arbitrary quantum systems with a three-dimensional Hilbert space. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the occurrence of the non-Abelian geometrical phases are obtained without actually solving the full eigenvalue problem for the instantaneous Hamiltonian. The parameter space of such systems which has the structure of CP 2 is explicitly constru...
