Open Systems Dynamics for Propagating Quantum Fields

摘要: In this dissertation, I explore interactions between matter and propagating light. The electromagnetic field is modeled as a Markovian reservoir of quantum harmonic oscillators successively streaming past system. Each weak fleeting interaction entangles the light system, continues its course. context tomography or metrology one attempts, using measurements light, to extract information about state An inevitable consequence these disturbance system’s state. These ideas focus on system regard ancillary. It serves purpose probe mechanism generate interesting dynamics states but eventually traced out, leaving reduced primary mathematical subject. What, then, when itself harbors intrinsic self-entanglement? One such set states, those where traveling wave packet prepared with definite number photons, focal point dissertation. N -photon
