摘要:

集体中微子振荡通常使用最低阶量子动力学方程(即平均场近似)进行研究。然而,最近的一些量子多体模拟表明,中微子之间的量子纠缠可能很重要,并可能导致中微子气体的味平衡。在这项工作中,我们为中微子气体开发了新的量子模型,其中任意一对中微子在其一生中最多只能相互作用一次。我们模型的一个关键参数是$γ=μΔz$,其中$μ$是中微子耦合强度,与中微子密度成正比,$Δz$是每对中微子每次可以相互作用的持续时间。在$γ\to0$的极限下,我们的模型退化为平均场方法,并在时间$t \gg (γμ)^{-1}$内实现味平衡。这些模型从粒子视角展示了相干味振荡的出现,并可能有助于阐明量子纠缠在集体中微子振荡中的作用。

英文摘要:

Collective neutrino oscillations are typically studied using the lowest-order quantum kinetic equation, also known as the mean-field approximation. However, some recent quantum many-body simulations suggest that quantum entanglement among neutrinos may be important and may result in flavor equilibration of the neutrino gas. In this work, we develop new quantum models for neutrino gases in which any pair of neutrinos can interact at most once in their lifetimes. A key parameter of our models is $γ=μΔz$, where $μ$ is the neutrino coupling strength, which is proportional to the neutrino density, and $Δz$ is the duration over which a pair of neutrinos can interact each time. Our models reduce to the mean-field approach in the limit $γ\to0$ and achieve flavor equilibration in time $t \gg (γμ)^{-1}$. These models demonstrate the emergence of coherent flavor oscillations from the particle perspective and may help elucidate the role of quantum entanglement in collective neutrino oscillations.
