Effects Of Quantum Noise On A Two-Level System In A Single-Mode Cavity, Linda L. Vahala Aug 1990

Effects Of Quantum Noise On A Two-Level System In A Single-Mode Cavity, Linda L. Vahala

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

The effects of quantum noise on a two-level system in the bad-cavity regime are considered perturbatively in the form of closure at the pair-correlation level. It is found that pair-correlation effects can reduce the level of semiclassical chaos. However, under the rotating-wave approximation (RWA), quantum noise can lead to chaos if there is an initial population inversion, while the full RWA Hamiltonian system remains integrable.
