Quantum Beats - Calculation Based On Quantum Electrodynamics

Calculation Based On Quantum Electrodynamics

For quantum electrodynamical calculation, we should introduce the creation and annihilation operators from second quantization of quantum mechanics.

Let

is a creation operator and
is an annihilation operator.

Then the beat note becomes

for V-type and
for -type,

when the state vector for each type is

and
.

The beat note term becomes

for V-type and
for -type.

By orthogonality of eigenstates, however and .

Therefore, there is a beat note term for V-type atoms, but not for -type atoms.

Famous quotes containing the words calculation, based and/or quantum:

    “Common sense is the measure of the possible; it is composed of experience and prevision; it is calculation appled to life.”
    —Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)

    “I have no acting technique.... I act instinctively. That’s why I can’t play any role that isn’t based on something in my life.”
    —Ethel Waters (1900–1977)

    “The receipt to make a speaker, and an applauded one too, is short and easy.—Take of common sense quantum sufficit, add a little application to the rules and orders of the House, throw obvious thoughts in a new light, and make up the whole with a large quantity of purity, correctness, and elegancy of style.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
