Time-dependent quantum mechanics of two-level systems [electronic resource] / by James P. Lavine.

By: Lavine, James P.
Material type: materialTypeLabelComputer filePublisher: Singapore : World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd., ©2019Description: 1 online resource (256 p.) : ill. (some col.).ISBN: 9789813272590.Subject(s): Quantum theory | Time-series analysis | Electronic booksDDC classification: 530.12 Online resources: Access to full text is restricted to subscribers.
Contents:
Spin precession and rate equations -- Two-level systems with a time-independent interaction -- Two-level systems with time-dependent interaction -- Applications and examples of two-level systems -- The density matrix and the relaxation of two-level systems -- The second-order correlation function for two-level systems.
Summary: "With both industrial and teaching experience, the author explains the effects of time dependence in systems with two energy levels. The book starts with time-independent interactions and goes on to treat interactions with time-dependent electric and magnetic fields. Complete derivations are presented for each case, so the reader understands how the solutions are found. Both closed-form and numerical solutions are treated, and the calculations are compared with experimental data from the literature. Numerous plots are provided to show how the solutions depend on the parameters of the interactions. The book builds upon an undergraduate course in quantum mechanics and is useful for readers interested in magnetic resonance and quantum optics. In addition, this book is ideal for self-study by students or researchers starting on two-level systems. The detailed derivations and plots should ease readers into the study of two-level systems in a wide variety of settings."-- Publisher's website.
