U.S.-France Cooperative Research: Kinetics of Polarized Quantum Systems With Spin and Other Internal Degrees of Freedom

该奖项将支持罗德岛大学Alexander Meyerovich博士和法国巴黎高等师范学院Hertzienne光谱实验室F. Laloe教授之间的合作研究。该项目的目标是为自旋极化量子系统和具有其他内部自由度的粒子系统中的相干横向效应提供可靠的一般动力学描述。研究人员计划1)推导一个可靠的极化系统低温方程，2)重新推导低温和简并极化系综的类似方程，3)推广迄今为止得到的结果，以包括具有任意非阿贝尔内自由度的系统。4)研究相关应用。Meyerovich博士和Laloe博士都因其在自旋极化量子系统方面的工作而享誉国际，该项目将受益于他们的互补专业知识。本研究结果将适用于超冷原子和分子束和系综、多态固体准粒子以及超低温自旋极化量子系统中的自旋动力学。

This award will support collaborative research between Dr. Alexander Meyerovich, University of Rhode Island, and Professor F. Laloe, Laboratoire de Spectroscopie Hertzienne, Ecole Normale Superieure, Paris, France. The objective of the project is to provide a reliable general kinetic description of coherent transverse effects in spin-polarized quantum systems and systems of particles with other internal degrees of freedom. The investigators plan to l) work on a derivation of a reliable low-temperature equation for polarized systems, 2) re-derive the analogous equation for low-temperature and degenerate polarized ensembles, 3) generalize the results obtained thus far to include systems with arbitrary non- Abelian internal degrees of freedom, and 4) investigate relevant applications. Dr. Meyerovich and Laloe are both internationally known for their work in spin-polarized quantum systems, and this project will benefit from their complementary expertise. The results of this research will be applicable to ultra-cold atomic and molecular beams and ensembles, multi-state solid-state quasi-particles and to spin dynamics in ultra-low temperature spin-polarized quantum systems.
