Quantum cavities with alternating boundary conditions

Abstract: We consider the quantum dynamics of a free nonrelativistic particle moving in a cavity and we analyze the effect of a rapid switching between two different boundary conditions. We show that this procedure induces, in the limit of infinitely frequent switchings, a new effective dynamics in the cavity related to a novel boundary condition. We obtain a dynamical composition law for boundary conditions which gives the emerging boundary condition in terms of the two initial ones.

“…[51, 52], a more general process, the quantum Zeno dynamics was raised, where the system can evolve away from its initial state under a multidimensional projection [53][54][55][56]. The quantum Zeno dynamics provides us with the possibility to significantly restrain the cavity decay in QIP tasks [57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65].…”

“…In summary, we started with two commuting Hamiltonians H 0 and H 1 in (32), which are projected to P(H 0 ) and P(H 1 ) in (39), respectively, by the strong collective decoherence (33). As a consequence, the Ising chain (32) is changed into the Heisenberg chain (39), and our projected Hamiltonians P(H 0 ) and P(H 1 ) are not commutative anymore with each other. They generate the full algebra of J su(d J,N ) on the DFS's.…”

“…One is allowed to switch them on and off at will, but can induce only trivial dynamics on the system due to the commutativity. If one additionally performs frequent projective measurements described by a Hermitian projection P during the control, the system is confined to the subspace specified by the projection P due to the quantum Zeno effect (quantum Zeno subspace [30,31]), where the system evolves unitarily (quantum Zeno dynamics [30,32]) according to the projected counterparts of the control Hamiltonians, P H 1 P and P H 2 P . These projected Hamiltonians do not necessarily commute any more,…”

“…The QCB paradigm has been used to show how to generate entangled states in composite systems by suitable modifications of the boundary conditions [30]. The relation of QCB and topology change has been explored in [39] and recently used to describe the physical properties of systems with moving walls ( [18], [19], [16], [17], [21]), but in spite of its intrinsic interest some basic issues such as the QCB controllability of simple systems has never been addressed.…”
