Commensurate two-quantum coherences induced by time-delayed THz fields.
The interaction of carbonyl sulfide dipolar gas molecules with two time-delayed, single-cycle THz pulses is shown both experimentally and theoretically to induce two-quantum rotational coherences that are significantly enhanced with respect to those induced by one THz pulse, depending on the relative delay of the pulses. The underlying phenomenon is quite general in that it can occur even after...
متن کاملQuantum Measurement and Entropy Production
We study the time evolution of a quantum system without classical counterpart, undergoing a process of entropy increase due to the environment influence. We show that if the environment-induced decoherence is interpreted in terms of wave-function collapses, a symbolic sequence can be generated. We prove that the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy of this sequence coincides with rate of von Neumann entrop...
متن کاملNegative Entropy in Quantum Information Theory
We present a quantum information theory that allows for the consistent description of quantum entanglement. It parallels classical (Shannon) information theory but is based entirely on density matrices, rather than probability distributions, for the description of quantum ensembles. We find that, unlike in Shannon theory, conditional entropies can be negative when considering quantum entangled ...
متن کاملNegative Entropy and Information in Quantum Mechanics
A framework for a quantum mechanical information theory is introduced that is based entirely on density operators, and gives rise to a unified description of classical correlation and quantum entanglement. Unlike in classical (Shannon) information theory, quantum (von Neumann) conditional entropies can be negative when considering quantum entangled systems, a fact related to quantum nonseparabi...
متن کاملNegative Entropy Production in Oscillatory Shear
Linear irreversible thermodynamics asserts that the instantaneous local spontaneous entropy production is always nonnegative. However for a viscoelastic uid this is not always the case. Given the fundamental status of the Second Law, this presents a problem. We provide a new derivation of the Second Law, from rst principles, which is valid for the appropriately time averaged entropy production ...
