چکیده

An open quantum system in steady state rho(ss) can be represented by a weighted ensemble of pure states rho(ss) = [equation: see text] in infinitely many ways. A physically realizable (PR) ensemble is one for which some continuous measurement of the environment will collapse the system into a pure state /psi(t)>, stochastically evolving such that the proportion of time for which /psi(t)> = /psi(k)> equals Weierstrass p(k). Some, but not all, ensembles are PR. This constitutes the preferred ensemble fact. We present the necessary and sufficient conditions for a given ensemble to be PR, and illustrate the method by showing that the coherent state ensemble is not PR for an atom laser.

Coherent Transport of Single Photon in a Quantum Super-cavity with Mirrors Composed of Λ-Type Three-level Atomic Ensembles

In this paper, we study the coherent transport of single photon in a coupled resonator waveguide (CRW) where two threelevel Λ-type atomic ensembles are embedded in two separate cavities. We show that it is possible to control the photon transmission and reflection coefficients by using classical control fields. In particular, we find that the total photon transmission and reflection are achieva...

Topological approach to phase transitions and inequivalence of statistical ensembles

The relation between thermodynamic phase transitions in classical systems and topology changes in their state space is discussed for systems in which equivalence of statistical ensembles does not hold. As an example, the spherical model with mean field-type interactions is considered. Exact results for microcanonical and canonical quantities are compared with topological properties of a certain...

The inequivalence of thermodynamic ensembles

The inequivalence of thermodynamical ensembles related by a Legendre transformation is manifest in self-gravitating systems and in black hole thermodynamics. Using the Poincaré’s method of the linear series, we describe the mathematical reasons which lead to this inequivalence which in turn induces a hierarchy of ensembles: the most stable ensemble describes the most isolated system. Moreover, ...
