Abstract:
The density matrix is a widely used tool in quantum mechanics. In order to determine its evolution with respect to time, the Liouville-von Neumann equation must be solved. However, analytic solutions of this differential equation exist only for simple cases. Additionally, if the the equation is coupled to Maxwell's equations to model light-matter interaction, the resulting equation set – the Maxwell-Bloch or Maxwell-Liouville-von Neumann (MLN) equations – becomes nonlinear. In these advanced cas...     »
