Quantum Properties of a Which-Way Detector
We explore quantum properties of a which-way detector using three versions of
an idealized two slit arrangements. Firstly we derive complementarity relations
for the detector; secondly we show how the "experiment" may be altered in such
a way that using single position measurement on the screen we can obtain
quantum erasure. Finally we show how to construct a superposition of "wave" and
"particle" components
Protecting, Enhancing and Reviving Entanglement
We propose a strategies not only to protect but also to enhance and revive
the entanglement in a double Jaynes-Cummings model. We show that such
surprising features arises when Zeno-like measurements are performed during the
dynamical process
Stern-Gerlach Entanglement in Spinor Bose-Einstein Condensates
Entanglement of spin and position variables produced by spatially
inhomogeneous magnetic fields of Stern-Gerlach type acting on spinor
Bose-Einstein condensates may lead to interference effects at the level of
one-boson densities. A model is worked out for these effects which is amenable
to analytical calculation for gaussian shaped condensates. The resulting
interference effects are sensitive to the spin polarization properties of the
condensate.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figure
Small oscillations of a chiral Gross-Neveu system
We study the small oscillations regime (RPA approximation) of the
time-dependent mean-field equations, obtained in a previous work, which
describe the time evolution of one-body dynamical variables of a uniform Chiral
Gross-Neveu system. In this approximation we obtain an analytical solution for
the time evolution of the one-body dynamical variables. The two-fermion physics
can be explored through this solution. The condition for the existence of bound
states is examined.Comment: 21pages, Latex, 1postscript figur
Atomic detection in microwave cavity experiments: a dynamical model
We construct a model for the detection of one atom maser in the context of
cavity Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) used to study coherence properties of
superpositions of electromagnetic modes. Analytic expressions for the atomic
ionization are obtained, considering the imperfections of the measurement
process due to the probabilistic nature of the interactions between the
ionization field and the atoms. Limited efficiency and false counting rates are
considered in a dynamical context, and consequent results on the information
about the state of the cavity modes are obtained.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figur
