Nonlinear Quantum Dissipative Systems
摘要
In this chapter we go beyond the linear quantum stochastic differential equations to treat non linear intracavity interactions. It is not possible, in general, to find exact solutions to the nonlinear quantum equations which arise in nonlinear optical interactions. It has, however, been possible to find solutions to some specific systems using the complex P representation. These solutions provide a test of the region of validity of the linearised solutions especially in the region of an instability. Furthermore they allow us to consider the situation where the quantum noise is large and may no longer be treated as a perturbation. In this case, manifestly quantum mechanical states may be produced in a nonlinear dissipative system.
