Explicit Kraus operator-sum representations for time-evolution of Fermi systems in amplitude- and phase-decay processes
Xianfeng Chen, Lili Hou · Canadian Journal of Physics · 2015
We set up the fermionic thermal entangled state approach to address Fermi operator master equations for the amplitude- and phase-decay processes and find the explicit Kraus operator-sum representations (KOSR) describing time-evolution of Fermi systems. As an application of KOSR, the evolution law of the two-level atomic system interacting with a photon field in these two decay processes is analytically derived, which shows that the interaction system has a quantum jump as a result of dissipation, but it always remains unchanged in the phase-decay process.
