A spin cluster of 3 spin 1/2 particles has been studied as a qubit system. A time dependent magnetic field is applied to control the time evolution of the cluster. The lowest energy level of the cluster has the total spin 1/2 separated far away from the excited states and can be used as a qubit register. The universal 1-qubit logic gate can be constructed from the time evolution operator of the non-autonomous many-body system, and the 6 basic 1-qubit gates can be realized by adjusting the applied time dependent magnetic field. As a many-body system, this qubit system is expected to be robust against the dissipation effect of the thermal radiation fields from the environment.

This paper presents an efficient algorithm for the time evolution of open quantum many-body systems using matrix-product states (MPS) proposing a convenient structure of the MPS-architecture, which exploits the initial state of system and reservoir. By doing so, numerically expensive re-ordering protocols are circumvented. It is applicable to systems with a Markovian type of interaction, where only the present state of the reservoir needs to be taken into account. Its adaption to a non-Markovian type of interaction between the many-body system and the reservoir is demonstrated, where the information backflow from the reservoir needs to be included in the computation. Also, the derivation of the basis in the quantum stochastic Schrödinger picture is shown. As a paradigmatic model, the Heisenberg spin chain with nearest-neighbor interaction is used. It is demonstrated that the algorithm allows for the access of large systems sizes. As an example for a non-Markovian type of interaction, the generation of highly unusual steady states in the many-body system with coherent feedback control is demonstrated for a chain length of N=30.

A homonuclear linear [Formula: see text] coupling spin cluster with the middle particle driven by an external time-dependent magnetic field is investigated by using the method of algebraic dynamics. The exact analytical solutions of the time-dependent Schrodinger equation of the spin cluster system are derived and employed to study the geometric phase. An alternative expression of the geometric phase in each eigenstate is obtained. It is shown that the geometric phase is related to the external magnetic-field parameter θ (the angle between the magnetic field and the Z axis) and the effective coupling strength Jn. Based on the relation, how the geometric phase depends on the coupling strength Jn in different reducible subspace is discussed.PACS Nos.: 33.20.Wr, 03.65.Fd, 03.65.Vf

Abstract. A realistic fully time-dependent computer model, denominated LION (Low-latitude Ionospheric) model, that simulates the dynamic behavior of the low-latitude ionosphere is presented. The time evolution and spatial distribution of the ionospheric particle densities and velocities are computed by numerically solving the time-dependent, coupled, nonlinear system of continuity and momentum equations for the ions O+, O2+, NO+, N2+ and N+, taking into account photoionization of the atmospheric species by the solar extreme ultraviolet radiation, chemical and ionic production and loss reactions, and plasma transport processes, including the ionospheric effects of thermospheric neutral winds, plasma diffusion and electromagnetic E×B plasma drifts. The Earth's magnetic field is represented by a tilted centered magnetic dipole. This set of coupled nonlinear equations is solved along a given magnetic field line in a Lagrangian frame of reference moving vertically, in the magnetic meridian plane, with the electromagnetic E×B plasma drift velocity. The spatial and time distribution of the thermospheric neutral wind velocities and the pattern of the electromagnetic drifts are taken as known quantities, given through specified analytical or empirical models. The model simulation results are presented in the form of computer-generated color maps and reproduce the typical ionization distribution and time evolution normally observed in the low-latitude ionosphere, including details of the equatorial Appleton anomaly dynamics. The specific effects on the ionosphere due to changes in the thermospheric neutral winds and the electromagnetic plasma drifts can be investigated using different wind and drift models, including the important longitudinal effects associated with magnetic declination dependence and latitudinal separation between geographic and geomagnetic equators. The model runs in a normal personal computer (PC) and generates color maps illustrating the typical behavior of the low-latitude ionosphere for a given longitudinal region, for different seasons, geophysical conditions and solar activity, at each instant of time, showing the time evolution of the low-latitude ionosphere, between about 20° north and south of the magnetic equator. This paper presents a detailed description of the mathematical model and illustrative computer results.

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.

From a quantized many-body system a wave equation for the motion of a particle linearly coupled to a heat bath is derived. The effective Hamiltonian describing the motion of the single particle is explicitly time dependent, and for a quadratic potential, has a simple dependence on the initial position and momentum of the particle. For the case of dissipative harmonic motion, a time-dependent wave equation is derived and the ground-state wave function is determined. It is also shown that if the equations of motion for the many-body system is Galilean invariant, the reduced form of equation of motion for the single particle is not. However a generalized form of transformation for the position and momentum operators, to a coordinate system moving with constant velocity, is obtained, which reduces to the Galilean transformation when the coupling to the dissipative system is turned off.

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.
