量子相干性:神话还是事实?

Quantum coherence: myth or fact?

Kae Nemoto, Samuel L. Braunstein

摘要:

最近有人认为,无法测量电磁场的绝对相位禁止将激光输出表示为量子光学相干态。这一论点通常被认为在技术上是正确的,但在概念上令人不安。事实上,它似乎对相干态的概念本身提出了质疑。在这里,我们表明,这种论点未能考虑到一个基本原则,该原则不仅重新承认相干态是合法的,而且形式化了有关一般模型构建的基本概念,特别是在量子力学中。

英文摘要:

It has recently been argued that the inability to measure the absolute phase of an electromagnetic field prohibits the representation of a laser's output as a quantum optical coherent state. This argument has generally been considered technically correct but conceptually disturbing. Indeed, it would seem to place in question the very concept of the coherent state. Here we show that this argument fails to take into account a fundamental principle that not only re-admits the coherent state as legitimate, but formalizes a fundamental concept about model building in general, and in quantum mechanics in particular.
