We discuss the fate of initial states of the cat type for the damped harmonic oscillator, mostly employing a linear version of the stochastic Schrödinger equation. We also comment on how such cat states might be prepared and on the relation of single realizations of the noise to single runs of experiments. Typeset using REVTEX 1
متن کاملDamped Quantum Harmonic Oscillator
In the framework of the Lindblad theory for open quantum systems the damping of the harmonic oscillator is studied. A generalization of the fundamental constraints on quantum mechanical diffusion coefficients which appear in the master equation for the damped quantum oscillator is presented; the Schrödinger and Heisenberg representations of the Lindblad equation are given explicitly. On the bas...
متن کاملQuantizing the damped harmonic oscillator
We consider the Fermi quantization of the classical damped harmonic oscillator (dho). In past work on the subject, authors double the phase space of the dho in order to close the system at each moment in time. For an infinite-dimensional phase space, this method requires one to construct a representation of the CAR algebra for each time. We show that unitary dilation of the contraction semigrou...
متن کاملThe Forced Harmonic Oscillator, Decoherence, and Schrödinger Cat States
The harmonic oscillator is a very significant problem in quantum mechanics, because it is one of the very few, relatively non-trivial problems that has an exact analytic solution. In addition to this, the harmonic oscillator solution and algebraic formalism has applications throughout modern physics (e.g. many particle systems, QED, quantum field theory, approximations of real systems such as m...
متن کاملQuantum Damped Harmonic Oscillator Revisited
In this paper we revisit the quantum damped harmonic oscillator and construct an interesting approximate solution in the operator algebra level. Namely, we first give the general solution to the Lindblad form (equation) and next construct an approximate solution to the full equation by use of it. Our method is a milestone to construct the general solution. In this paper we revisit dynamics of a...
