费米子系统的高斯熵

The Gaussian entropy of fermionic systems

Tomislav Prokopec, Michael G. Schmidt, Jan Weenink

摘要:

我们考虑了费米子量子系统中的熵和退相干。通过对费米子集合的密度算符作高斯分布,我们研究了统计两点分布算符,并用这些分布算符表示系统费米子的熵。在一个简单的情况下,当一组N个热化的环境费米子振荡器与系统费米子双线性相互作用时,我们可以研究它的时间相关熵,这也代表了退相干的定量测量。然后,我们考虑相对论性费米量子场论,并采取质量混合项作为汤川相互作用的一个简单模型。事实证明,即使在这种高斯近似下,费米子系统也能相当有效地退相干,使得在大耦合和高温状态下,系统场接近环境场的温度。

英文摘要:

We consider the entropy and decoherence in fermionic quantum systems. By making a Gaussian Ansatz for the density operator of a collection of fermions we study statistical 2-point correlators and express the entropy of a system fermion in terms of these correlators. In a simple case when a set of N thermalised environmental fermionic oscillators interacts bi-linearly with the system fermion we can study its time dependent entropy, which also represents a quantitative measure for decoherence. We then consider a relativistic fermionic quantum field theory and take a mass mixing term as a simple model for the Yukawa interaction. It turns out that even in this Gaussian approximation, the fermionic system decoheres quite effectively, such that in a large coupling and high temperature regime the system field approaches the temperature of the environmental fields.
