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博士和法国巴黎高级学院光谱实验室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：L)为极化系统推导一个可靠的低温方程，2)重新推导低温简并极化系综的类似方程，3)推广迄今所得的结果，以包括具有任意非阿贝尔内部自由度的系统，4)调查相关应用。迈耶罗维奇博士和拉洛博士都因在自旋极化量子系统方面的工作而闻名国际，这个项目将受益于他们互补的专业知识。这一研究结果将适用于超冷原子束和系综、多态固态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.
