Geometric phase in open two-level system

Abstract: A mapping is established in connecting density matrices, associated with an evolution of a quantum open system, with vector ray in a complex projective Hilbert space. By using the corresponding vector ray to represent the open two-level system, we may observe the geometric phase for the open two-level system. The geometric phase of the open two-level system depends only on the smooth (open or closed) curve in the complex projective Hilbert space of ray, which is formulated entirely in terms of geometric struct… Show more

“…A kinematic approach to define GP in mixed states undergoing nonunitary evolution, generalizing the results of the above two works, has recently been proposed by Tong et al [10]. Wang et al [11,12] defined a GP based on a mapping connecting density matrices representing an open quantum system, with a nonunit vector ray in complex projective Hilbert space, and applied it to study the effects of a squeezed-vacuum reservoir on GP.…”

“…However, due to the inevitable interactions between the qubits and the environment, a pure state will be driven to a mixed one. Therefore, the study of geometric phase of systems under nonunitary evolutions becomes important, and some work has been done to generalize the geometric phase to open quantum systems [16][17][18][19][20], and the effects of different kinds of decoherence sources on the geometric phase have been analyzed [21][22][23][24][25]. By studying the geometric phase of an open system, we can draw some information about the nonunitary evolution of the system and the characteristics of the environment the system coupled to.…”
