Several Semiclassical Approaches to Time-resolved Spectroscopy

Ultrafast spectroscopy allows molecular dynamics to be resolved on the femtosecond time scale. Whereas such short time scales obviously pose any experimental challenges, they provide an opportunity for semiclassica methods, which are naturally suited for s ...

Reservoir-induced decoherence of resonantly excited confined polaritons

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Daniel Oberli, François Morier-Genoud, Marcia Portella Oberli, Claudéric Ouellet-Plamondon, Grégory Chilpéric Sallen

We report on the effect of decoherence on polariton bistability. The polariton hysteresis loop is shown to collapse in a similar way when increasing the temperature or under nonresonant excitation power. The hysteresis upward threshold is pulled to lower e ...

On the -Betti numbers of universal quantum groups

Sven Raum

We show that the first -Betti number of the duals of the free unitary quantum groups is one, and that all -Betti numbers vanish for the duals of the quantum automorphism groups of full matrix algebras. ...

Ultrafast dynamics induced by the interaction of molecules with electromagnetic fields: Several quantum, semiclassical, and classical approaches

Ursula Röthlisberger, Jiri Vanicek, Swarnendu Bhattacharyya, Sergey Antipov

Several strategies for simulating the ultrafast dynamics of molecules induced by interactions with electromagnetic fields are presented. After a brief overview of the theory of molecule-field interaction, we present several representative examples of quant ...

Path integral approach to the quantum fidelity amplitude

Jiri Vanicek

The Loschmidt echo is a measure of quantum irreversibility and is determined by the fidelity amplitude of an imperfect time-reversal protocol. Fidelity amplitude plays an important role both in the foundations of quantum mechanics and its applications, suc ...
