Claim:
An information processing apparatus for evaluating the function of a device or an apparatus concerning each of individual microscopic massive particles comprising: an analyzer using at least a statistical wave function defined as an evaluation function for evaluating the function of said device or apparatus concerning said microscopic particles; said analyzer comprising: N number of devices or N number of two-level particles capable of being in either of two different states concerning microscopic particles, wherein the state of said N number of devices or said N number of two-level particles after the time t elapses is represented by Ïˆ(t)=(2 âˆ’t/Ï„ ) 1/2 Ïˆ 1 (t)+(1-2 âˆ’t/Ï„ ) 1/2 Ïˆ 2 (t) based on a premise that in an initial condition all of said N number of devices or said N number of two-level particles are in an excited state at time t=0, where Ï„ denotes the half-life in the excited state, Ïˆ 1 (t) denotes a statistical wave function representing the excited state, and Ïˆ 2 (t) denotes a statistical wave function representing a ground state; an outputter for outputting evaluation result obtained by said analyzer, wherein said statistical wave function represents at least one state of an ensemble of said microscopic particles; said information processing apparatus further comprising: an inputter for inputting at least a half-life Ï„ concerning said N number of devices or said N number of two-level particles and a time t or a ratio t/Ï„ of the time t to the half-life Ï„; a memory for storing at least one of the two formulas (2 âˆ’t/Ï„ ) and (1-2 âˆ’t/Ï„ ) obtained by carrying out the square of each of two individual coefficients included in the expression of said Ïˆ(t) and at least the half-life Ï„ of said N number of devices or said N number of two-level particles and the time t or the ratio t/Ï„ of the time t to the half-life Ï„ input by said inputer; and a calculator for calculating at least one of the values of (2 âˆ’t/Ï„ ) and (1-2 âˆ’t/Ï„ ) or, when the number N of said devices or said two-level particles has been input, at least one of the number of said devices or said two-level particles 2 âˆ’t/Ï„ N in the excited state and the number of the devices or two-level particles (1-2 âˆ’t/Ï„ ) N in the ground state, based on at least one of said stored formulas (2 âˆ’t/Ï„ ) and (1-2 âˆ’t/Ï„ ) and at least said stored half-life Ï„ concerning said N number of devices or said N number of two-level particles and the time t or said stored ratio t/Ï„ of the time t to the half-life Ï„.
