Abstract

We study the symmetries of the Liouville superoperator of one dimensional parametric oscillators, especially the so-called squeeze-driven Kerr oscillator, and discover a remarkable quasi-spin symmetry su(2)su(2) at integer values of the ratio η=ω/K\eta =\omega /K of the detuning parameter ω\omega to the Kerr coefficient KK, which reflects the symmetry previously found for the Hamiltonian operator. We find that the Liouvillian of an su(2)su(2) representation j,mj\left\vert j,m_{j}\right\rangle has a characteristic double-ellipsoidal structure, and calculate the relaxation time TXT_{X} for this structure. We then study the phase transitions of the Liouvillian which occur as a function of the parameters ξ=ε2/K\xi =\varepsilon _{2}/K and η=ω/K\eta=\omega /K. Finally, we study the temperature dependence of the spectrum of eigenvalues of the Liouvillian. Our findings may have applications in the generation and stabilization of states of interest in quantum computing.
