Quantum Radiation Reaction: From Interference to Incoherence.
We investigate quantum radiation reaction in laser-electron interactions across different energy and intensity regimes. Using a fully quantum approach which also accounts exactly for the effect of the strong laser pulse on the electron motion, we identify in particular a regime in which radiation reaction is dominated by quantum interference. We find signatures of quantum radiation reaction in ...
متن کاملRadiation reaction in quantum mechanics
The Lorentz-Dirac radiation reaction formula predicts that the position shift of a charged particle due to the radiation reaction is of first order in acceleration if it undergoes a small acceleration. A semi-classical calculation shows that this is impossible at least if the acceleration is due to a time-independent potential. Thus, the Lorentz-Dirac formula gives an incorrect classical limit ...
متن کاملInterference as a probe of spin incoherence in strongly interacting quantum wires.
We show that interference experiments can be used to identify the spin-incoherent regime of strongly interacting one-dimensional conductors. Two qualitative signatures of spin incoherence are found: a strong magnetic field dependence of the interference contrast and an anomalous scaling of the interference contrast with the applied voltage, with a temperature and magnetic field dependent scalin...
متن کاملRadiation reaction and quantum damped harmonic oscillator
By taking a Klein-Gordon field as the environment of an harmonic oscillator and using a new method for dealing with quantum dissipative systems (minimal coupling method), the quantum dynamics and radiation reaction for a quantum damped harmonic oscillator investigated. Applying perturbation method, some transition probabilities indicating the way energy flows between oscillator, reservoir and q...
متن کاملUniformly Accelerated Charge in a Quantum Field: From Radiation Reaction to Unruh Effect
We present a stochastic theory for the nonequilibrium dynamics of charges moving in a quantum scalar field based on the worldline influence functional and the close-time-path (CTP or in-in) coarse-grained effective action method. We summarize (1) the steps leading to a derivation of a modified AbrahamLorentz-Dirac equation whose solutions describe a causal semiclassical theory free of runaway s...
