Dynamics of reduced density matrices: Classical memory versus quantum nonlocality
نویسنده
چکیده
The nonlocality in the path integral description of the reduced density matrix for a system interacting with a classical harmonic bath can be eliminated through the introduction of auxiliary variables, leading to Markovian equations. By contrast, the presence of an imaginary part in quantum mechanical response functions appears to prohibit similar approaches, necessitating explicit treatment of quantum nonlocality. © 1998 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-9606~98!00630-8#

On Classical Teleportation and Classical Nonlocality
An interesting protocol for classical teleportation of an unknown classical state was recently suggested by Cohen, and by Gour and Meyer. In that protocol, Bob can sample from a probability distribution P that is given to Alice, even if Alice has absolutely no knowledge about P . Pursuing a similar line of thought, we suggest here a limited form of nonlocality — “classical nonlocality”. Our non...
متن کاملSimulation of quantum processes using entangled trajectory molecular dynamics
In this paper, we describe a new method for simulating quantum processes using classical-like molecular dynamics. The approach is based on solving the quantum Liouville equation in the Wigner representation using ensembles of classical trajectories in phase space. The nonlocality of quantum mechanics is incorporated in the trajectory representation as nonclassical interactions between the membe...

Atomic versus Ionized States in Many-Particle Systems and the Spectra of Reduced Density Matrices: A Model Study
We study the spectrum of appropriate reduced density matrices for a model consisting of one quantum particle ("electron") in a classical fluid (of "protons") at thermal equilibrium. The quantum and classical particles interact by a shortrange, attractive potential such that the quantum particle can form "atomic" bound states with a single classical particle. We consider two models for the class...
متن کاملModulated entanglement evolution via correlated noises
We study entanglement dynamics in the presence of correlated environmental noises. Specifically, we investigate the quantum entanglement dynamics of two spins in the presence of correlated classical white noises, deriving Markov master equation and obtaining explicit solutions for several interesting classes of initial states including Bell states and X form density matrices. We show how entang...
