Wigner Function Evolution of Quantum States in Presence of Self-Kerr Interaction
Abstract
A Fokker-Planck equation for the Wigner function evolution in a noisy Kerr medium ((3) non-linearity) is presented. We numerically solved this equation taking a coherent state as an initial condition. The dissipation effects are discussed. We provide examples of quantum interference, sub-Planck phase space structures, and Gaussian versus non-Gaussian dynamical evolution of the state. The results also apply to the description of a nanomechanical resonator with an intrinsic Duffing nonlinearity.
