    Qualitative model of a positive hydrogen peroxide ion in a thermal bath

    Full text link
    A qualitative model is proposed for a pair of atoms: oxygen and hydrogen in a single-mode optical cavity, bound by one valence electron and immersed in a thermal bath. The interaction of an electron with the cavity field depends on the state of the nuclei, which, in turn, is determined by the temperature of the phonon mode of the thermal bath. Computer simulation of the quantum dynamics of such a system shows the stable nature of the formation of both a stable molecular ion and a separate neutral oxygen atom and a positive hydrogen ion.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figure

    Collapse of dark states in Tavis-Cummings model

    Full text link
    The singlet state of a system of two two-level atoms changes smoothly, remaining dark, as the Hamiltonian TC is slowly deformed, despite the inapplicability of the adiabatic theorem to this case. In this case, there is a small probability of emission of free photons, which does not depend on the smoothness of the deformation of the Hamiltonian. The effect of spontaneous emission is enhanced by the addition of one more pair of atoms in the singlet state due to the exchange of virtual photons in the cavity. A similar effect was also established for the case when atoms can move between two cavities, but here, on the contrary, with an increase in the number of atoms, the emission decreases. This purely quantum effect must be taken into account in practical manipulations with atomic singlets; however, its weakness testifies, rather, to the stability of dark states and the prospects for their use in information exchange (quantum cryptographic protocols) and as an energy accumulator for nono-devices.Comment: 16 pages, 14 figure
