Zeno effect for a two level system in a squeezed bath
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the appearance of Zeno (QZE) or anti-Zeno (QAE) effect in an exponentially decaying system. We consider the quantum dynamics of a continuously monitored two level system interacting with a squeezed bath. We find that the behavior of the system depends critically on the way in which the squeezed bath is prepared. For specific choices of the squeezing phase the system shows Zeno or anti-Zeno effect in conditions for which it would decay exponentially if no measurements were done. This result allows for a clear interpretation in terms of the equivalent spin system interacting with a fictitious magnetic field.

Mimicking a Squeezed Bath Interaction: Quantum Reservoir Engineering with Atoms
The interaction of an atomic two-level system and a squeezed vacuum leads to interesting novel effects in atomic dynamics, including line narrowing in resonance fluorescence and absorption spectra, and a suppressed (enhanced) decay of the in-phase and out-of phase component of the atomic polarization. On the experimental side these predictions have so far eluded observation, essentially due to ...
متن کاملApplications of Canonical Transformations
Canonical transformations are defined and discussed along with the exponential, the coherent and the ultracoherent vectors. It is shown that the single-mode and the n-mode squeezing operators are elements of the group of canonical transformations. An application of canonical transformations is made, in the context of open quantum systems, by studying the effect of squeezing of the bath on the d...

Analytical results for the dynamical evolution of a single two-level atom coupled to an ordinary heat bath and bichromatically excited with two finite bandwidth squeezed fields are presented by solving the Heisenberg equations of motion.

متن کاملQuantum Zeno effect in a nitrogen-vacancy center embedded in a spin bath
We study the longitudinal relaxation of a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center surrounded by a 13C nuclear spin bath in diamond. By means of cluster-correlation expansion (CCE), we numerically demonstrate the decay process of electronic state induced by cross relaxation at low temperature. It is shown that the CCE method is not only capable of describing pure-dephasing effect at large-detuning regime, ...
متن کاملDynamics of decoherence without dissipation in a squeezed thermal bath
We study a generic open quantum system where the coupling between the system and its environment is of an energy-preserving quantum nondemolition (QND) type. We obtain the general master equation for the evolution of such a system under the influence of a squeezed thermal bath of harmonic oscillators. From the master equation it can be seen explicitly that the process involves decoherence or de...
