Action scales for quantum decoherence and their relation to structures in phase space

Daniel Alonso, S. Brouard, Jose P. Palao +1

A characteristic action is defined whose magnitude determines some properties of the expectation value of a general quantum displacement operator. These properties are related…

Optimal control theory for unitary transformations

Jose P. Palao, R. Kosloff

The dynamics of a quantum system driven by an external field is well described by a unitary transformation generated by a time dependent Hamiltonian. The inverse problem of finding…

Weak-Coupling-Like Time Evolution of Driven Four-Level Systems in the Strong-Coupling Regime

Vicente Delgado, J. M. Gomez Llorente

It is shown analytically that there exists a natural basis in terms of which the nonperturbative time evolution of an important class of driven four-level systems in the strong-cou…

Nonperturbative Coherent Population Trapping: An Analytic Model

V. Delgado, J. M. Gomez Llorente

Coherent population trapping is shown to occur in a driven symmetric double-well potential in the strong-field regime. The system parameters have been chosen to reproduce the $0^{-…

Explicit solution for a Gaussian wave packet impinging on a square barrier

A. L. Perez Prieto, S. Brouard, J. G. Muga

The collision of a quantum Gaussian wave packet with a square barrier is solved explicitly in terms of known functions. The obtained formula is suitable for performing fast calcula…
