New Way to Quantize Time-Dependent RLC Electric Circuit and Quantum Fluctuations

According to the physical mechanism of the generation of the resistance or the electron phonon interaction, a new method is proposed to quantize the RLC electric circuit. Calculations show that the quantum fluctuations under this new quantization are smaller than those by the traditional effective Hamiltonian method. And squeezed states can be generated if the inductance and capacity are time dependent. Meanwhile, the shortcoming of the traditional method that the electric charge and current will vanish in the long time limit is overcome.

Properties of ground state and anomalous quantum fluctuations in one-dimensional polaron-soliton systems-the effects of electron-two-phonon interaction and non-adiabatic quantum correlations

Based on the Holstein model Hamiltonian of one-dimensional molecular crystals, by making use of the expansion approach of the correlated squeezed-coherent states of phonon instead of the two-phonon coherent state expansion scheme, the properties of the ground state and the anomalous quantum fluctuations are investigated in a strongly coupled electron-phonon system with special consideration of the electron-two-phonon interaction. The effective renormalization （ai） of the displacement of the squeezed phonons with the effect of the squeezed-coherent states of phonon and both the electron-displaced pbonon and the polaron-squeezed phonon correlations have been combined to obtain the anomalous quantum fluctuations for the corrections of the coherent state. Due to these non-adiabatic correlations, the effective displacement parameter ai is larger than the ordinary parameter ai （0） In comparison with the electron-one-phonon interaction （g） corrected as oig, we have found the electron-two-phonon interaction （gl） corrected as ai2gi is enhanced significantly. For this reason, the ground state energy （E（2）） contributed by the electron-two-phonon interaction is more negative than the single-phonon case （E01）） and the soliton solution is more stable. At the same time, the effects of the electron-two-phonon interaction greatly increase the polaron energy and the quantum fluctuations. Furthermore, in a deeper level, we have considered the effect of the polaron-squeezed phonon correlation （f-correlation）. Since this correlation parameter f 〉 1, this effect will strengthen the electron-one and two-phonon interactions by fai9 and f2ai2g1, respectively. The final results show that the ground state energy and the polaron energy will appear more negative further and the quantum fluctuations will gain further improvement.

Quantum fluctuations of the antiferro-antiferromagnetic double-layer

This paper stuides the magnetization and quantum fluctuations of an antiferro-antiferromagnetic （AF-AF） doublelayer at zero temperature. It is found that the exchanges and anisotropy constants affect the quantum fluctuations of spins. If the anisotropy exists, there will be no acoustic energy branch in the system. The anisotropy constant, antiferromagnetic intralayer and interlayer coupling have important roles in a balance of the quantum competition.

Critical exponents of ferroelectric transitions in modulated SrTiO_3:Consequences of quantum fluctuations and quenched disorder

The ferroelectric transitions of several SrTiO3-based ferroelectrics are investigated experimentally and theoretically, with special attention to the critical scaling exponents associated with the phase transitions, in order to understand the competition among quantum fluctuations （QFs）, quenched disorder, and ferroelectric ordering. Two representative systems with sufficiently strong QFs and quenched disorders in competition with the ferroelectric ordering are investigated. We start from non-stoichiometric SrTiO3（STO） with the Sr/Ti ratio deviating slightly from one, which is believed to maintain strong QFs. Then, we address Ba/Ca co-doped Sr1-x（Ca0.6389Ba0.3611）xTiO3（SCBT） with the averaged Sr-site ionic radius identical to the Sr2＋ ionic radius, which is believed to offer remarkable quenched disorder associated with the Sr-site ionic mismatch. The critical exponents associated with polarization P and dielectric susceptibility ε, respectively, as functions of temperature T close to the critical point Tc, are evaluated. It is revealed that both non-stoichiometric SrTiO3 and SCBT exhibit much bigger critical exponents than the Landau mean-field theory predictions. These critical exponents then decrease gradually with increasing doping level or deviation of Sr/Ti ratio from one. A transverse Ising model applicable to the Sr-site doped STO （e.g., Sr1-xCaxTiO3） at low level is used to explain the observed experimental data. It is suggested that the serious deviation of these critical exponents from the Landau theory predictions in these STO-based systems is ascribed to the significant QFs and quenched disorder by partially suppressing the long-range spatial correlation of electric dipoles around the transitions. The present work thus sheds light on our understanding of the critical behaviors of ferroelectric transitions in STO in the presence of quantum fluctuations and quenched disorder, whose effects have been demonstrated to be remarkable.

Quantum fluctuations of mesoscopic damped double resonance RLC circuit with mutual capacitance-inductance coupling

Based on the scheme of damped harmonic oscillator quantization and thermo-field dynamics （TFD）, the quantization of mesoscopic damped double resonance RLC circuit with mutual capacitance-inductance coupling is proposed. The quantum fluctuations of charge and current of each loop in a squeezed vacuum state are studied in the thermal excitation case. It is shown that the fluctuations not only depend on circuit inherent parameters, but also rely on excitation quantum number and squeezing parameter. Moreover, due to the finite environmental temperature and damped resistance, the fluctuations increase with the temperature rising, and decay with time.

Escape of Brownian particles and stochastic resonance with low-temperature quantum fluctuations

In this paper, we investigate the escape of Brownian particles and stochastic resonance (SR) with low-temperatures quantum fluctuations by using the quantum Smoluchowski equations at low-temperature. Two specific examples have been considered: one is the example of bistable system, and the other is the example of metastable system. The explicit expressions of the mean-first passage time (MFPT) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for both specific examples are obtained, respectively. Based on the numerical computations, we compare the quantum case with its classical counterpart. Our research results show that: (i) the quantum effect accelerates the escape of the Brownian particle in comparison with the classical result and (ii) the quantum effect enhances the SR in the SNR as a function of β for a bistable system (i.e., β = 1/kBT, kB is the Boltzmann constant and T is the temperature), while for a metastable system, the β amplifies the quantum effects, and the quantum effect weakens the SNR as a function of β.

It is shown that when the photon field is initially in a thermal vacuum state and the phonon initially in its lowest energy level state (the vacuum state), the phonon, photon and also the polariton system can exhibit nonclassical behaviour.

Quantum backreaction of quantum fluid in Bose Einstein condensates

In this paper, with the full field operator ψ expressed in terms of a particle-number-conserving mean-field ansatz, we investigate the dynamical behaviour of Bose-Einstein condensates from microscopic physics. Including the first-order term correction from single-particle excitation and the remaining higher-order term correction from collective excitations simultaneously, we obtain the formulation for a closed local expression of quantum backreaction Q, and discuss the influence on static Bose-Einstein condensates. Even though the quantum backreaction is small, it still has some influence on its dynamics.

Time Evolution,Dynamical Quantum Fluctuation and High-Order Squeezing Feature in Polariton System——Ⅰ

We have set up a new reduced model Hamiltonian for the polariton system, in which the nonlinear interaction contains the rotating term k l （ a ＋ b ＋ ab＋） and the attractive two-mode squeezed coupling - k2 （ a ＋ b＋ ＋ ab ） . The dynamical evolution of this system has been solved and the nonclassical features relevant to the second-order and high-order squeezing have been obtained in an analytical form. For the first time, in contrast to the existing result, we have confirmed for the phonon field that the attractive two-mode squeezed interaction will not only result in the second-order and high-order squeezing in X-component with the time evolution, but also in time average. Furthermore, the phenomena of collapse and revival of inversion will occur as well in the time evolution of the average number of photon and phonon, as also in the second-order and high-order squeezing of photon field, particularly, in the high-order squeezing of phonon field.

Quantum fluctuation of entanglement for accelerated two-level detectors

It is well known that the quantum fluctuation of entanglement(QFE) between Unruh–De Witt detector(modeled by a two-level atom) is always investigated in a relativistic setting. However, both of the Unruh radiation and quantum fluctuation effects play an important role in precise measurements of quantum entanglement. In this paper, we have quantitatively analyzed how the relativistic motion affects the QFE for two entangled Unruh–De Witt detectors, one of which is accelerated and interacting with the neighbor external scalar field. Our results show that the QFE, which initially increases by the Unruh thermal noise, will suddenly decay when the acceleration reaches to a considerably large value. Therefore, the relativistic effect will lead to non-negligible QFE effect. We also find that the initial QFE(without acceleration effect) reaches its minimum value at the maximally entangled state and the separable state. More importantly, our analysis demonstrates that although the QFE has a huge decay when the acceleration is greater than ~ 0.96, the ratio of △E/C is still very large, due to the simultaneous decay of concurrence to a very low value. Finally, enlightened by the well-known equivalence principle,we discuss the possibility of applying the above findings to the dynamics of QFE under the influence of gravitation field.

Intensity Correlation Function and Associated Relaxation Time of a Saturation Laser Model with Correlated Noises

We investigate the intensity correlation function C（s） and its associated relaxation time Tc for a saturation model of single-mode laser with correlated noises. The expressions of O（s） and Tc are derived by means of the projection operator method, and effects of correlations between an additive noise and a multiplicative noise are discussed by numerical calculation. Based on the calculated results, it is found that the correlation strength A between the additive noise and the multiplicative noise can enhance the fluctuation decay of the laser intensity.

Density Matrix for Mesoscopic Distributed Parameter Circuits

Under the Born-von-Karmann periodic boundary condition, we propose a quantization scheme for non-dissipative distributed parameter circuits (i.e. a uniform periodic transmission line). We find the unitary operator for diagonalizing the Hamiltonian of the uniform periodic transmission line. The unitary operator is expressed in a coordinate representation that brings convenience to deriving the density matrix rho(q,q',beta). The quantum fluctuations of charge and current at a definite temperature have been studied. It is shown that quantum fluctuations of distributed parameter circuits, which also have distributed properties, are related to both the circuit parameters and the positions and the mode of signals and temperature T. The higher the temperature is, the stronger quantum noise the circuit exhibits.
