Few Level Models in Atomic Radiation Theory

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。这里的研究将集中在两个主要主题上，通过数值和解析的理论计算来追求：(i)工作的第一部分检查量子纠缠的时间依赖性，以澄清和扩展最近发现的与早期退相干（ESD）相关的现象，也称为纠缠猝死。PI将进一步研究由两个不同腔中的两个原子组成的系统中的纠缠。第二部分研究量子纠缠的动态演化，以获得两个竞争和合作短脉冲在部分相干光吸收器中传播的改进描述。重点将放在寻找分析性解决方案的方法上。在第一个研究领域，非马尔可夫弛豫和纠缠动力学也将有一个研讨会。在这个研究项目中工作的学生将接受培训，使他们能够继续在学术、工业和政府环境中从事科学工作，将他们的教育和才能应用到更广泛的社区中。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).The research here will center on two major themes, pursued with theoretical calculations, both numerical and analytic: (i) The first part of the work examines the time-dependence of quantum entanglement, to clarify and extend recently identified phenomena related to early-stage decoherence (ESD), also called entanglement sudden death. The PI further will examine entanglement in a system consisting of two atoms in two different cavities. The second part of the work deals with the dynamical evolution of quantum entanglement, to obtain an improved description of propagation in partially coherent optical absorbers of two competing and cooperating short pulses. The emphasis will be on ways to find analytical solutions. There will also be a workshop in the first area of the research, on Non-Markovian Relaxation and Entanglement Dynamics.Students working in this research program will receive training that will enable them to continue to work in science in academic, industrial, and governmental contexts, taking their education and their talents into a wide community.
