A non-Markovian quantum trajectory approach to radiation into structured continuum
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a non-Markovian quantum trajectory method for treating atoms radiating into a reservoir with a non-flat density of states. The results of an example numerical simulation of the case where the free space modes of the reservoir are altered by the presence of a cavity are presented and compared with those of an extended system approach.

Non-Markovian correlation spectra and quantum stochastic trajectory analysis of spontaneous emission of an excited two-level atom
The non-Markovian correlation spectra of spontaneous emission of an excited two-level atom are derived including the effect of finite size of the atom and all the possible contribution of allowed multipole radiations. The emission process is then analyzed by the quantum stochastic trajectory approach. The non-Markovian effect is counted in by expanding the original system to an enlarged system ...
متن کاملNon-Markovian dynamical maps: numerical processing of open quantum trajectories.
The initial stages of the evolution of an open quantum system encode the key information of its underlying dynamical correlations, which in turn can predict the trajectory at later stages. We propose a general approach based on non-Markovian dynamical maps to extract this information from the initial trajectories and compress it into non-Markovian transfer tensors. Assuming time-translational i...
متن کاملGeneralized Master Equations Leading to Completely Positive Dynamics.
We provide a general construction of quantum generalized master equations with a memory kernel leading to well-defined, that is, completely positive and trace-preserving, time evolutions. The approach builds on an operator generalization of memory kernels appearing in the description of non-Markovian classical processes and puts into evidence the nonuniqueness of the relationship arising due to...
متن کاملDecoherence and quantum-classical master equation dynamics.
The conditions under which quantum-classical Liouville dynamics may be reduced to a master equation are investigated. Systems that can be partitioned into a quantum-classical subsystem interacting with a classical bath are considered. Starting with an exact non-Markovian equation for the diagonal elements of the density matrix, an evolution equation for the subsystem density matrix is derived. ...
متن کاملTheory of pseudomodes in quantum optical processes
This paper deals with non-Markovian behavior in atomic systems coupled to a structured reservoir of quantum electromagnetic field modes, with particular relevance to atoms interacting with the field in high-Q cavities or photonic band-gap materials. In cases such as the former, we show that the pseudomode theory for single-quantum reservoir excitations can be obtained by applying the Fano diago...
