| Research Abstract |
The final goal of this project shall be to understand the behaviors of macroscopic and/or mesoscopic systems consistently from the view point of micro-macro transition and to establish quantum theories for such systems. We have inverstigated several topics that are closely connected to the fundamental issues of quantum mechanics, and here is a summary of the results of the project. 1. We have studied the temporal brhaviors of quantum (unstable) systems to obtain a better understanding of the mechanism of losing the quantum coherence to give exponential decay. 2. A neutron-spin experiment, proposed to test the so-called quantum Zeno effect, has been reanalyzed by taking into account of the possible reflection effect of neutron caused at the boundaries of the magnetic field. It has turned ouf that the effect can become so important that the survival probability of the neutron is completely different from the ideal value. 3. The Nelson stochastic quantization method has been used for extracting information about time in quantum systems. In particular, we have tried to estimate the so-called tunneling time, by applying an oscillating external perturbation to the barrier potential. 4. The stochastic resonance, a phenomenum where a noise can enhance the response to a tiny signal, well known in broad area in classical mechanics, is formulated and analyzed quantum mechanically. 5. A quantum nonlinear optical system is proposed to realize a quantum mechanical analogue of the inverted pendulum in classical mechanins. It is shown that the system, which otherwise produces exponentially growing number of two modes of photons through the nonlinear down-conversion process, can be stabilized by applying periodically a linear coupling between the two modes.
