Abstract The two-point measurement and no-measurement schemes are reviewed briefly. The quantum thermodynamics of a driven harmonic oscillator and a two-level atom in an external light field are investigated in the framework of the no-measurement scheme. The work distribution functions and the modified quantum Jarzynski theorem are obtained and discussed.

In this work, the response functions (RFs) of the 4 He , 16 O and 40 Ca nuclei are calculated in the harmonic oscillator shell model (HOSM) and the impulse approximation (IA). First, the one-body momentum distribution and the one-body spectral functions for these nuclei are written in the HOSM configuration. Then, their RFs are calculated, in the two frameworks, namely the spectral and the momentum distribution functions, within the IA. Unlike our previous work, no further assumption is made to reduce the analytical complications. For each nucleus, it is shown that the (RF) evaluated using the corresponding spectral function has a sizable shift, with respect to the one calculated in terms of the momentum distribution function. It is concluded that for the heavier nuclei, this shift increases and reaches nearly to a constant value (approximately 62 MeV), i.e., similar to that of nuclear matter. It is discussed that in the nuclei with the few nucleons, the above shift can approximately be ignored. This result reduces the theoretical complication for the explanation of the ongoing deep inelastic scattering (DIS) experiments of 3 H or 3 H nucleus target in the Jefferson Laboratory. On the other hand, it is observed that in the heavier nuclei, the RF heights (width) decrease (increase), i.e., the comparison between the theoretical and the experimental electron nucleus scattering cross-section is more sensible for heavy nuclei rather than the light ones.

We have investigated the interaction of two level atom with time varying quadrature squeezed light field. Jaynes-Cummings model is used for solving the atom radiation interaction. Time evolution of the system for different squeezing parameter and phase have been studied. There are no well-defined revivals in population inversion when the squeezed phase is π and the squeezing parameter is greater than 0.5. Using a time varying frequency for the light field, it is found that the randomness of the population inversion and the collapse revival phenomena can be controlled. Frequency modulation of the field can thus be used as a tool for manipulating the squeezed light atom interaction.

The dynamics of the laser model based on the nonlinear coupling of light-field with boson elementary excitation is improved. A rate equation of pumping system directly coupled with the boson matter is added to the original equations. The system as a whole, therefore, becomes a perfect self-organized one, but the character of mirrorless unchanges, which is a character essentially different from conventional lasers, and the laser threshold behavior of second-order-like transition also remains. There is some resemblance between the new revised laser model and Maxwell–Bloch two-level-atom laser model.
