AB  - Abstract. We consider the system of N two-level atoms, of which N0 atoms are
unexcited and N1 are excited. This system of N two-level atoms, which forms a linear
quantum amplifier, interacts with a single-mode electromagnetic field. The problem of
amplification of the L-photon states using such an amplifier is studied. The evolution
of the electromagnetic field density matrix is described by the master equation for the
field under amplification. The dynamics of this process is such that it can be described
as the transformation of the scale of the phase space. The exact solution of the master
equation is expressed using the transformed Husimi function of the L-quantum state
of the harmonic oscillator. The properties of this function are studied and using it the
average photon number and its fluctuations in the amplified state are found.

AB  - In the  same chapter of  his  book Opera geometrica, Torricelli published1 two discoveries:  1) initial velocity of a jet from a container increases with the square root of the depth of the hole¸ 2) he draw the pattern of  jets from three openings at the wall of a container filled with water to constant level H and determined the height of the hole  with maximal range. In studying the pattern Torricelli used the mentioned law of initial velocities and Galileo’s law of free fall and projectile motion. The first Torricelli’s discovery is now well known in physics education under the name Torricelli’s law. But the pattern of jets from a container entered into physics literature along two ways, which we propose to name: “da Vinci’s way” and “Torricelli’s way”.  Along “da Vinci’s way” educators and textbook authors (Ref. 2 and textbooks and articles cited by Biser3 and Atkin4) present incorrect drawings of jets in order to incorrectly “demonstrate”the correct Torricelli’s law. Along “Torricelli’s way” educators point out3-11 that the shape and range of a jet depend on the initial velocity as well as on the time of flight of a jet.  Using algebra and calculus (instead of geometry, proportions and narrative used by Torricelli and Galileo) the shape of trajectories, their envelope, range and meeting of two jets at an arbitrary datum level, are determined by quadratic function and quadratic equation.   Their detailed mathematical analysis is presented in this paper. 
In describing how the use of water and air through time has developed our scientific understanding, and how to bring fluid mechanics to the general public, E. Guyon and M. Guyon12 observed: “Water fountains and jets are still being built and are favorite public attractions but, alas, are seldom connected to their scientific meaning, unlike the Torricelli fountain shown in Fig. 1.”

AB  - Recently, Panuski and Mungan presented the results of their study of light diffraction from a variable-width single slit by observing and measuring the diffraction pattern on an observation screen placed at a fixed distance. In this way, the authors were able to demonstrate to students the important near-field effects for single-slit diffraction, which most often have been neglected in introductory courses. In this paper, we show that there exists very good agreement between observed data and theoretical calculations by plotting intensity from single slits using a method with Fresnel-Kirchhoff integrals (Fig. 1). In addition to these comparisons, and with the evaluation of the Fresnel numbers, we argue that Panuski and Mungan demonstrated not only the near-field Fresnel, but also the far-field Fraunhofer regimes as well as the transition between the two. Furthermore, with a greater increase in the slit width, the transition to the geometric regime can be demonstrated (Fig. 2).

AB  - In the diffraction pattern produced by a half-plane sharp edge when it obstructs the passage of a laser beam, two characteristic regions are noticeable. There is a central region, where the diffraction of laser light appears in the region of geometric shadow, while intensity oscillations are observed in the non-obstructed area. On both sides of the edge, there are also very long light traces along the normal to the edge of the obstacle. The theoretical explanation of this phenomenon is based on the Fresnel-Kirchhoff diffraction theory applied to the Gaussian beam propagation behind the obstacle. In this paper, we supplement this explanation by considering electromagnetic flow lines, which provide a more complete interpretation of the phenomenon in terms of electric and magnetic fields and flux lines; at the same time, that can be related to average photon paths.

AB  - We consider scale transformations (q, p) - gt (lambda q, lambda p) in phase space. They induce transformations of the Husimi functions H(q, p) defined in this space. We consider the Husimi functions for states that are arbitrary superpositions of n-particle states of a harmonic oscillator. We develop a method that allows finding so-called stretched states to which these superpositions transform under such a scale transformation. We study the properties of the stretched states and calculate their density matrices in explicit form. We establish that the density matrix structure can be described using negative binomial distributions. We find expressions for the energy and entropy of stretched states and calculate the means of the number-ofstates operator. We give the form of the Heisenberg and Robertson-Schrodinger uncertainty relations for stretched states.

We develop a method that allows finding so-called stretched states to which these superpositions transform under such a scale transformation. We study the properties of the stretched states and calculate their density matrices in explicit form. We establish that the density matrix structure can be described using negative binomial distributions. We find expressions for the energy and entropy of stretched states and calculate the means of the number-ofstates operator. We give the form of the Heisenberg and Robertson-Schrodinger uncertainty relations for stretched states.",

AB  - We consider the Husimi Q(q, p)-functions which are quantum quasiprobability distributions on the phase space. It is known that, under a scaling transform (q; p) - gt (aiiq; aiip), the Husimi function of any physical state is converted into a function which is also the Husimi function of some physical state. More precisely, it has been proved that, if Q(q, p) is the Husimi function, the function aii(2) Q(aiiq; aiip) is also the Husimi function. We call a state with the Husimi function aii(2) Q(aiiq; aiip) the stretched state and investigate the properties of the stretched Fock states. These states can be obtained as a result of applying the scaling transform to the Fock states of the harmonic oscillator. The harmonic-oscillator Fock states are pure states, but the stretched Fock states are mixed states. We find the density matrices of stretched Fock states in an explicit form. Their structure can be described with the help of negative binomial distributions. We present the graphs of distributions of negative binomial coefficients for different stretched Fock states and show the von Neumann entropy of the simplest stretched Fock state.

AB  - We propose a new method for the derivation of Husimi symbols, for operators that are given in the form of products of an arbitrary number of coordinates, and momentum operators, in an arbitrary order. For such an operator, in the standard approach, one expresses coordinate and momentum operators as a linear combination of the creation and annihilation operators, and then uses the antinormal ordering to obtain the final form of the symbol. In our method, one obtains the Husimi symbol in a much more straightforward fashion, departing directly from operator explicit form without transforming it through creation and annihilation operators. With this method the mean values of some operators are found. It is shown how the Heisenberg and the Schrodinger-Robertson uncertainty relations, for position and momentum, are transformed under scale transformation (q; p) - gt (lambda q; lambda p). The physical sense of some states which can be constructed with this transformation is also discussed.

AB  - Atomic three-grating Mach Zehnder interferometry constitutes an important tool to probe fundamental aspects the quantum theory. There is, however, a remarkable gap in the literature betweenthe oversimplified models and robust numerical simulations considered to describe the corresponding experiments. Consequently, the former usually lead to paradoxical scenarios, such as the wave-particle dual behavior of atoms, while the latter make difficult the data analysis in simple terms. Here these issues are tackled by means of a simple grating working model consisting of evenly-spaced Gaussian slits. As is shown, this model suffices to explore and explain such experiments both analytically and numerically, giving a good account of the full atomic journey inside the interferometer, and hence contributing to make less mystic the physics involved. More specifically, it provides a clear and unambiguous picture of the wavefront splitting that takes place inside the interferometer, illustrating how the momentum along each emerging diffraction order is well defined even though the wave function itself still displays a rather complex shape. To this end, the local transverse momentum is also introduced in this context as a reliable analytical tool. The splitting, apart from being a key issue to understand atomic Mach-Zehnder interferometry, also demonstrates at a fundamental level how wave and particle aspects are always present in the experiment, without incurring in any contradiction or interpretive paradox. On the other hand, at a practical level, the generality and versatility of the model and methodology presented, makes them suitable to attack analogous problems in a simple manner after a convenient tuning.

Description of classical and quantum interference in view of the concept of flow line

AB  - Bohmian mechanics, a hydrodynamic formulation of quantum mechanics, relies on the concept of trajectory, which evolves in time in compliance with dynamical information conveyed by the wave function. Here, this appealing idea is considered to analyze both classical and quantum interference, thus providing an alternative and more intuitive framework to understand the time evolution of waves either in terms of the flow of energy (for instance, for mechanical waves, sound waves, and electromagnetic waves) or analogously the flow of probability (quantum waves). Furthermore, this procedure also supplies a more robust explanation of interference phenomena, which currently is only based on the superposition principle. That is, while this principle only describes how different waves combine and what effects these combinations may lead to, flow lines provide a more precise explanation on how the energy or probability propagates in space before, during, and after the combination of such waves, without dealing with them separately (i.e., the combination or superposition is taken as a whole). In this sense, concepts such as constructive and destructive interference, typically associated with the superposition principle, physically correspond to more or less dense swarms of (energy or probability) flow lines. A direct consequence of this description is that, when considering the distribution of electromagnetic energy flow lines behind two slits, each one covered by a differently oriented polarizer, it is naturally found that external observers' information on the slit crossed by single photons (understood as energy parcels) is totally irrelevant for the existence of interference fringes, in striking contrast to what is commonly stated and taught.

According to this method, the coordinate and momentum operators (q) over cap and (p) over cap are assigned other operators (X) over cap and (P) over cap satisfying the same commutation relations. We then find the result of acting with the (X) over cap and (P) over cap operators and also polynomials in these operators on the Husimi function. After the obtained expression is integrated over the phase space coordinates, the integrand becomes a Husimi function times the symbol of the operator chosen to act on that function. We explicitly evaluate the Husimi symbols for operators that are powers of (X) over cap or (P) over cap.

AB  - We describe a rather simple optical experiment, which many students can easily carry out, but the theoretical explanation of which requires far-from-simple mathematical analysis and application of numerical methods. A thin vertical rod, partially immersed in a liquid-filled transparent cylindrical container, is moved from the centre toward the wall and observed laterally. As it moves, the part seen through the air and the part seen through the water start to separate, so that at a certain distance from the centre the lower part of the rod becomes invisible. We show that this happens at the distance for which the refracted ray that reaches the observer's eye is along the tangent to the surface of a cylinder. We derive the expression for this distance as a function of the index of refraction and ratio d/r, where d is the distance of the observer from the surface and r is the radius of the container. The locus of image positions is determined by evaluating the intersections of pairs of close rays from the rod which reach the observer's eye after refraction at the surface of the container.

AB  - We present a trajectory-based interpretation of Young's experiment, the Arago-Fresnel laws and the Poisson-Arago spot. This approach is based on the equation of the trajectory associated with the quantum probability current density in the case of massive particles, and the Poynting vector for the electromagnetic field in the case of photons. Both the form and properties of the evaluated photon trajectories are in good agreement with the averaged trajectories of single photons observed recently in Young's experiment by Steinberg's group at the University of Toronto. In the case of the Arago-Fresnel laws for polarized light, the trajectory interpretation presented here differs from interpretations based on the concept of 'which-way' (or 'which-slit') information and quantum erasure. More specifically, the observer's information about the slit that the photons went through is not relevant to the existence of interference; what is relevant is the form of the electromagnetic energy density and its evolution, which will model consequently the distribution of trajectories and their topology. Finally, we also show that the distributions of end points of a large number of evaluated photon trajectories are in agreement with the distributions measured at the screen behind a circular disc, clearly giving rise to the Poisson-Arago spot.

AB  - In this paper we examine some of the statistical properties of the negative binomial states (NBSs) that are a superposition of the number of states with appropriately chosen coefficients, but on the basis of Fock-vectors, which correspond to the pseudoharmonic oscillator. These states have the coherent states' behaviour not only for the harmonic limit. We examine the expectation values of the integer powers of the number operator N, which is useful when calculating Mandel's parameter for these states. Depending on the value of this parameter, we can determine the statistical behaviour of the NBSs, where these states are: sub-Poissonian, Poissonian and supra-Poissonian. Meijer's G-functions formalism was used in the calculation.

AB  - Husimi function originated in phase space formulation of quantum mechanics. This function appears naturally whenever simultaneous measurement of coordinate and impulse with maximal accuracy allowed by the Heisenberg uncertainty relation is performed on a given quantum state and it represents the probability distribution for simultaneous unsharp measurement of coordinate and impulse. Husimi function may analogously be defined for any pair of conjugated variables. In analysis of time varying signals these variables are time and frequency. In this paper we consider Husimi function in time-frequency space, we derive some properties of the function and give time-frequency analysis of some characteristic signals.
AB  - U ovom radu razmotrena je Husimijeva funkcija na prostoru kanonski spregnutih promenljivih vreme-frekvencija. Izvedene su neke njene nove osobine koje su ilustrovane na nekoliko analitički zadatih signala. Pokazano je da se Husimijeva funkcija može koristiti pri vremensko-frekvencijskoj analizi signala.

AB  - The coherence effects induced by external photons coupled to matter waves inside a Mach-Zehnder three-grating interferometer are analyzed. Alternatively to atom-photon entanglement scenarios, the model considered here only relies on the atomic wavefunction and the momentum shift induced in it by the photon scattering events. A functional dependence is thus found between the observables, namely the fringe visibility and the phase shift, and the transversal momentum transfer distribution. Good quantitative agreement is found when comparing the results obtained from our model with the experimental data.
