Interplay of classical and quantum dynamics in a thermal ensemble of atoms

Interplay of classical and quantum dynamics in a thermal ensemble of atoms

In a thermal ensemble of atoms driven by coherent fields, how does evolution of quantum superposition compete with classical dynamics of optical pumping and atomic diffusion? Is it optical pumping that first prepares a thermal ensemble, with coherent superposition developing subsequently or is it th...
