Optical Properties of Crystals with Spatial Dispersion: Josephson Plasma Resonance in Layered Superconductors
We derive the transmission coefficient, , for grazing incidence of
crystals with spatial dispersion accounting for the excitation of multiple
modes with different wave vectors for a given frequency . The
generalization of the Fresnel formulas contains the refraction indices of these
modes as determined by the dielectric function . Near
frequencies , where the group velocity vanishes, depends
also on an additional parameter determined by the crystal microstructure. The
transmission is significantly suppressed, if one of the excited modes is
decaying into the crystal. We derive these features microscopically for the
Josephson plasma resonance in layered superconductors.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, epl.cls style file, minor change
Decoherence and Entanglement Dynamics in Fluctuating Fields
We study pure phase damping of two qubits due to fluctuating fields. As
frequently employed, decoherence is thus described in terms of random unitary
(RU) dynamics, i.e., a convex mixture of unitary transformations. Based on a
separation of the dynamics into an average Hamiltonian and a noise channel, we
are able to analytically determine the evolution of both entanglement and
purity. This enables us to characterize the dynamics in a concurrence-purity
(CP) diagram: we find that RU phase damping dynamics sets constraints on
accessible regions in the CP plane. We show that initial state and dynamics
contribute to final entanglement independently.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures, added minor changes in order to match published
