Interpreting Liouvillian Eigenmodes: Quantized Orbits in Dissipative Systems
feeds.aps.org · By Ashlin V. Thomas, Felix Fritzsch, Masudul Haque & Shovan Dutta ·
The Brief
- Researchers Ashlin V. Thomas, Felix Fritzsch, Masudul Haque and Shovan Dutta propose an interpretation of Liouvillian eigenmodes in open quantum systems.
- In closed quantum systems, energy eigenstates localize on quantized orbits in phase space for systems with a classical limit; the authors note that such a picture has been lacking for open systems.
- The work is published in a physics journal of the American Physical Society with DOI 10.1103/nxhj-g7gh.
Why it matters
It offers a phase-space picture for dissipative quantum dynamics, which could help physicists interpret the decay modes of open quantum systems using concepts familiar from closed-system quantization.
