Abstract

Density cube theory extends the canonical quantum density matrix ρij with the addition of an extra index to ρijk. The elements of the density cube with two different indices, ρiij and ρijj, correspond to the real and imaginary parts of the off-diagonal element ρij of the density matrix and describe double-path interference, while those with three different indices describe non-canonical triple-path interference. In this letter, we propose an equation of motion for the density cube, obtained from the quantization of ternary Nambu dynamics, and find that pairs of triple-path interferences oscillate into each other.
