A power-series expansion for long-time solutions is obtained for the density-matrix equations of motion describing a quantum-mechanical two-level system with dissipation and feedback. The resonances in the first- and third-order dipole contributions and the second-order upper level occupation probability are shown to be significantly affected by the feedback.The results are applied to the case of a uniformly polarized, finite, crystalline dielectric made up of two-level systems. Polarizabilities relating the dipole moment to each of the applied field, the internal field, and the macroscopic field are introduced and relations between them derived. The dipole-moment – macroscopic-field polarizabilities are shown in particular to be shape independent. Susceptibilities are defined and related to the single-system polarizabilities through generalized Clausius–Mossotti relations.

Frequency Approximation

The shifted frequency approximation is used to solve the equations of motion for the density matrix describing a quantum mechanical two-level system, with decay, in an applied monochromatic electric field. Expressions are obtained for the transient and the long-term linear electric dipole moment and occupation probability, and the long-term third-order dipole moment. The results are valid across the frequency spectrum, including resonance, provided the phenomenological decay times for the system are not too large or too close in value.

Upper Level

A two-level dissipative quantum-mechanical system subjected to a small applied multimode electric field plus a feedback term proportional to the induced dipole moment is discussed. The long-term behaviour of the induced dipole moment and of the upper level occupation probability is represented by a series expansion in terms of the applied electric-field amplitudes. First-order and third-order internal, external, and intrinsic polarizabilites are introduced and calculated for the model. Certain ratios of third-order to first-order polarizabilities are shown to have a common value for the internal, external, and intrinsic cases. Clausius–Mossotti relations for the linear and third-order susceptibilities are derived.

Recently the possibility to exploit quantum-mechanical effects to increase the performance of energy storage has raised a great interest. It consists of N two-level systems coupled to a single photonic mode in a cavity. We demonstrate the emergence of a quantum advantage in the charging power on this collective model (Dicke Quantum Battery) with respect to the one in which each two-level system is coupled to its own separate cavity mode (Rabi Quantum Battery). Moreover, we discuss the model of a Quantum Supercapacitor. This consists of two chains, one containing electrons and the other one holes, hosted by arrays of double quantum dots. The two chains are in close proximity and embedded in the same photonic cavity, in the same spirit of the Dicke model. We find the phase diagram of this model showing that, when transitioning from the ferro/antiferromagnetic to the superradiant phase, the quantum capacitance of the model is greatly enhanced.

AbstractThe model is closely connected with a model by Lamb and Scully (10). Atoms described as two-level systems, initially in an incoherent superposition of the two levels, interact successively during a time T with an electromagnetic field of which only one mode is taken into consideration. In the limit as infinitely many atoms have interacted, it is shown that the field either approaches a thermal distribution or is excited to arbitrarily high Photon numbers according to whether or not the lower level of the atoms is initially more probable than the upper level. It is also shown that in any case the correlations between pure Photon number states converge to 0. If the atoms are initially in the upper level it is proved that the Photon number grows roughly as the square root of the number of atoms that have interacted. Throughout the discussion number-theoretical properties of T play a disturbing role. The last mentioned result in fact depends on a sharp (but arbitrary) value for T and is therefore disqualified for physical interpretation.

Nonequilibrium Quasiparticles

A major issue for the implementation of large-scale superconducting quantum circuits is the interaction with interfacial two-level system (TLS) defects that lead to qubit parameter fluctuations and relaxation. Another major challenge comes from nonequilibrium quasiparticles (QPs) that result in qubit relaxation and dephasing. Here, we reveal a previously unexplored decoherence mechanism in the form of a new type of TLS originating from trapped QPs, which can induce qubit relaxation. Using spectral, temporal, thermal, and magnetic field mapping of TLS-induced fluctuations in frequency tunable resonators, we identify a highly coherent subset of the general TLS population with a low reconfiguration temperature ∼300 mK and a nonuniform density of states. These properties can be understood if the TLS are formed by QPs trapped in shallow subgap states formed by spatial fluctutations of the superconducting order parameter. This implies that even very rare QP bursts will affect coherence over exponentially long time scales.

In this work, an implicit algorithm is used for analyzing the free dynamic behavior of Functionally Graded Material (FGM) plates. The Third order Shear Deformation Theory (TSDT) is used to develop the proposed model. In this contribution, the formulation is written without any homogenization technique as the rule of mixture. The Hamilton principle is used to establish the resulting equations of motion. For spatial discretization based on Finite Element Method (FEM), a quadratic element with four and eight nodes is adopted using seven degrees of freedom per node. An implicit algorithm is used for solving the obtained problem. To study the accuracy and the performance of the proposed approach, we present comparisons with literature and laminate composite modeling results for vibration natural frequencies. Otherwise, we examine the influence of the exponent of the volume fraction which reacts the plates "P-FGM" and "S-FGM". In addition, we study the influence of the thickness on "E-FGM" plates.

We present our approach for a consistent, fully quantum mechanical description of the magnetization reversal process in natural and artificial atomic systems by means of short magnetic pulses. In terms of the simplest model of a two-level system with a magnetic moment, we analyze the possibility of a fast magnetization reversal on the picosecond timescale induced by oscillating or short unipolar magnetic pulses. We demonstrate the possibility of selective magnetization reversal of a superconducting flux qubit using a single flux quantum-based pulse and suggest a promising, rapid Λ-scheme for resonant implementation of this process. In addition, the magnetization reversal treatment is fulfilled within the framework of the macroscopic theory of the magnetic moment, which allows for the comparison and explanation of the quantum and classical behavior.

Steady State Heat Transfer

Chaotic motion of a simply supported functionally graded materials (FGM) square thin plate under one-to-two internal resonance is studied in this paper. The FGM plate is subjected to the transversal and in-plane excitations. Material properties are assumed to be temperature-dependent and change continuously throughout the thickness of the plate. The temperature variation is assumed to occur in the thickness direction only and satisfy the steady-state heat transfer equation. Based on the Reddy’s third-order plate theory and Hamilton’s principle, the nonlinear governing equations of motion for the FGM plate are derived by using the Galerkin’s method to describe the transverse oscillation in the first two modes Numerical simulations illustrate that there exist chaotic motion for the FGM rectangular plate.
