Master Equation for an Oscillator Coupled to the Electromagnetic Field
نویسندگان
چکیده
The macroscopic description of a quantum oscillator with linear passive dissipation is formulated in terms of a master equation for the reduced density matrix. The procedure used is based on the asymptotic methods of nonlinear dynamics, which enables one to obtain an expression for the general term in the weak coupling expansion. For the special example of a charged oscillator interacting with the electromagnetic field, an explicit form of the master equation through third order in this expansion is obtained. This form differs from that generally obtained using the rotating wave approximation in that there is no electromagnetic (Lamb) shift and that an explicit expression is given for the decay rate. 1996 Academic

Generalized master equation for systems in nonideal cavities with squeezed baths
The master equation for the density operator of a system in a lossy cavity, which is coupled to a squeezed bath, is generalized so as to include the effects of an enhanced loss through a mirror of finite transmittivity. As compared to the standard master equation, which is valid for a nearly-perfect cavity, the generalized master equation is found to contain additional terms that account for an...
متن کاملExact master equation and quantum decoherence of two coupled harmonic oscillators in a general environment.
In this paper we derive an exact master equation for two coupled quantum harmonic oscillators interacting via bilinear coupling with a common environment at arbitrary temperature made up of many harmonic oscillators with a general spectral density function. We first show a simple derivation based on the observation that the two harmonic oscillator model can be effectively mapped into that of a ...
متن کاملThermal Equilibrium from the Hu-paz-zhang Master Equation
The exact master equation for a harmonic oscillator coupled to a heat bath, derived recently by Hu, Paz and Zhang, is simplified by taking the weakcoupling, late-time limit. The unique time-independent solution to this simplified master equation is the canonical ensemble at the temperature of the bath. The frequency of the oscillator is effectively lowered by the interaction with the bath. † an...
متن کاملNon-Markovian Quantum Trajectories Versus Master Equations: Finite Temperature Heat Bath
Abstract The interrelationship between the non-Markovian stochastic Schrödinger equations and the corresponding non-Markovian master equations is investigated in the finite temperature regimes. We show that the general finite temperature non-Markovian trajectories can be used to derive the corresponding non-Markovian master equations. A simple, yet important solvable example is the well-known d...
متن کاملA Phase Noise Reduction Technique in LC Cross-coupled Oscillators with Adjusting Transistors Operating Regions
In this paper, an intuitive analysis of a phase noise reduction technique is done, and then a modified structure is proposed to achieve higher phase noise reduction than the original one. This method reduces the impact of noise sources on the phase noise by decreasing closed-loop gain in zero-crossings points and moving this high closed-loop gain to the non-zero-crossings points. This reduction...
