Two Level Systems

All the six kinds of rotation approach with the same form to the evolution problem of arbitrarily time-dependent two-level system are investigated in this paper. A time-dependent two-level system can be viewed as a spin-1/2 system in a time-varying magnetic field. It is shown that for each kind of rotation approach, we can always find a rotating frame in which the direction of the effective magnetic field is fixed. This property reduces the problem of finding the time-evolution operator to the solution of a second-order differential equation. Applications are made to the J C model in quantum optics and the L and au–Zener model in resonance physics.

General Time

In this paper we investigate the time evolution of a general time-dependent harmonic oscillator (TDHO) with variable mass using Feynman path integral approach. We explicitly evaluate the squeezing in the quadrature components of a general quantum TDHO with variable mass. This calculation is further elaborated for three particular cases of variable mass whose propagator can be written in a closed form. We also obtain an exact form of the time-evolution operator, the wave function, and the time-dependent coherent state for the TDHO. Our results clearly indicate that the time-dependent coherent state is equivalent to the squeezed coherent state.

The exact fermionic four-level system is studied in the presence of time-dependent magnetic field. The system is considered under two initial conditions: general initial vector state, and, at thermal equilibrium. The exact time evolution of one-particle operators is derived.

We approximate the two-body spinless Salpeter equation with the one which is valid in heavy quarks limit. We consider the resulting semirelativistic equation in a time-dependent formulation. We use the Lewis-Riesenfeld dynamical invariant method and series solution to obtain the solutions of the differential equation. We have also done some calculations in order to derive the time evolution operator for the considered problem.

Exactly Solvable

Using the Hubbard representation for S U ( 2 ) , we write the time-evolution operator of a two-level system in the disentangled form. This allows us to map the corresponding dynamical law into a set of nonlinear coupled equations. In order to find exact solutions, we use an inverse approach and find families of time-dependent Hamiltonians whose off-diagonal elements are connected with the Ermakov equation. A physical model with the so-obtained Hamiltonians is discussed in the context of the nuclear magnetic resonance phenomenon.

Abstract We use the SYK family of models with N Majorana fermions to study the complexity of time evolution, formulated as the shortest geodesic length on the unitary group manifold between the identity and the time evolution operator, in free, integrable, and chaotic systems. Initially, the shortest geodesic follows the time evolution trajectory, and hence complexity grows linearly in time. We study how this linear growth is eventually truncated by the appearance and accumulation of conjugate points, which signal the presence of shorter geodesics intersecting the time evolution trajectory. By explicitly locating such “shortcuts” through analytical and numerical methods, we demonstrate that: (a) in the free theory, time evolution encounters conjugate points at a polynomial time; consequently complexity growth truncates at O($$ \sqrt{N} $$ N ), and we find an explicit operator which “fast-forwards” the free N-fermion time evolution with this complexity, (b) in a class of interacting integrable theories, the complexity is upper bounded by O(poly(N)), and (c) in chaotic theories, we argue that conjugate points do not occur until exponential times O(eN), after which it becomes possible to find infinitesimally nearby geodesics which approximate the time evolution operator. Finally, we explore the notion of eigenstate complexity in free, integrable, and chaotic models.
