Influence of thermal fluctuations on bosonic correlations and the ac Stark effect in two-level atoms: A superstatistical perspective

We study the influence of thermal fluctuations on the two-time correlation functions of bosonic baths within a superstatistics framework by assuming that fluctuations follow the gamma distribution. We further establish a connection between superstatistics and Tsallis nonadditive thermodynamics by introducing a temperature-renormalizing parameter. Our results show that, for an Ohmic model, the system's correlation functions exhibit diverse time-dependent behaviors, with the real and imaginary parts displaying enhancement or suppression depending on temperature and fluctuation strength. Additionally, we analyze the impact of these fluctuations on the quantum master equation of a damped two-level atom coupled to an out-of-equilibrium radiation bath. We demonstrate that while the equation's algebraic structure remains intact, the coupling constants are modified by the fluctuation parameters and cavity volume. Specifically, we observe that the ac Stark effect undergoes significant modifications, with fluctuations influencing the transition between repulsive and attractive energy levels.

Superstatistics and quantum entanglement in the isotropic spin-1/2 XX dimer from a nonadditive thermodynamics perspective

In this paper, the impact of temperature fluctuations in the entanglement of two qubits described by a spin-1/2 XX model is studied. To describe the out-of-equilibrium situation, superstatistics is used with fluctuations given by a χ^{2}-distribution function, and its free parameters are chosen in such a way that resembles the nonadditive Tsallis thermodynamics. In order to preserve the Legendre structure of the thermal functions, particular energy constraints are imposed on the density operator and the internal energy. Analytical results are obtained using an additional set of constraints after a parametrization of the physical temperature. We show that the well-known parametrization may lead to undesirable values of the physical temperature so that by analyzing the entropy as a function of energy, the correct values are found. The quantum entanglement is obtained from the concurrence and is compared with the case when the Tsallis restrictions are not imposed on the density operator.

Generalized Fokker-Planck equations derived from nonextensive entropies asymptotically equivalent to Boltzmann-Gibbs

We derive generalized Fokker-Planck equations (FPEs) based on two nonextensive entropy measures S_{±} that depend exclusively on the probability. These entropies have been originally obtained from the superstatistics framework, therefore they regard nonequilibrium systems outlined by a long-term stationary state in view of a spatiotemporally fluctuating intensive quantity. Moreover, entropies S_{±} as well as Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) entropy S_{B} both pertain to the same asymptotical equivalence class, thus suggesting that S_{±} could depict a consistent thermodynamic generalization of BG. For these reasons, we assert that transport phenomena to be accounted for by our models shall coincide with the portrait given by the conventional FPEs for systems comprehending short-range interactions or a high number of accessible microstates, whereas, for systems composed of a small number of microstates, or those with long-range interactions, the governing equations of motion are to be the FPEs here derived, as long as the system fulfills the attributes mentioned above. We discuss the anomalous diffusion exhibited by the two generalized FPEs and also present some numerical applications. In particular, we find that there are models regarding biological sciences, for the study of congregation and aggregation behavior, the structure of which coincides with the one of our models.

On Quantum Superstatistics and the Critical Behavior of Nonextensive Ideal Bose Gases

We explore some important consequences of the quantum ideal Bose gas, the properties of which are described by a non-extensive entropy. We consider in particular two entropies that depend only on the probability. These entropies are defined in the framework of superstatistics, and in this context, such entropies arise when a system is exposed to non-equilibrium conditions, whose general effects can be described by a generalized Boltzmann factor and correspondingly by a generalized probability distribution defining a different statistics. We generalize the usual statistics to their quantum counterparts, and we will focus on the properties of the corresponding generalized quantum ideal Bose gas. The most important consequence of the generalized Bose gas is that the critical temperature predicted for the condensation changes in comparison with the usual quantum Bose gas. Conceptual differences arise when comparing our results with the ones previously reported regarding the q-generalized Bose–Einstein condensation. As the entropies analyzed here only depend on the probability, our results cannot be adjusted by any parameter. Even though these results are close to those of non-extensive statistical mechanics for q∼1, they differ and cannot be matched for any q.
