Quantum decoherence in the theory of open systems

Abstract

Within the framework of the Lindblad theory for open quantum systems, we determine the degree of quantum decoherence of a harmonic oscillator interacting with a thermal bath. It is found that the system manifests a quantum decoherence which is more and more significant in time. We also calculate the decoherence time scale and analyze the transition from quantum to classical behavior of the considered system.

Quantum decoherence of the damped harmonic oscillator

Аурелиан Исар

In the framework of the Lindblad theory for open quantum systems, we determine the degree of quantum decoherence of a harmonic oscillator interacting with a thermal bath. It is found that the system manifests a quantum decoherence which is more and more significant in time. We also calculate the decoherence time and show that it has the same scale as the time after which thermal fluctuations become comparable with quantum fluctuations.

Quantum decoherence and classical correlations in open systems

Аурелиан Исар

In the framework of the Lindblad theory for open quantum systems we determine the degree of quantum decoherence and classical correlations of a harmonic oscillator interacting with a thermal bath. The transition from quantum to classical behaviour of the considered system is analyzed and it is shown that the classicality takes place during a finite interval of time. We calculate also the decoherence time and show that it has the same scale as the time after which thermal fluctuations become comparable with quantum fluctuations.

Quantum decoherence: a study applied to quarkonium-like bound states in strongly interacting matter

Gabriele Coci, Salvatore Plumari, Giuseppe Falci

We study the quantum decoherence of a bound state interacting with a reservoir of strongly interacting matter within the framework of open quantum systems. The bound state is modeled as a quantum harmonic oscillator whose parameters are tuned to reproduce the root-mean-square radius of $J/Ψ$ particle. The surrounding medium, representing the many degrees of freedom of strongly interacting matter, acts as an environment that induces dissipation and decoherence through system-reservoir coupling. By analyzing the time evolution of the reduced density matrix, we quantify the loss of quantum coherence and its dependence on medium properties. Subsequently, we extend the model by introducing a time dependence in the system-thermal bath coupling, thereby simulating a temperature evolution similar to that occurring during the expansion of a fireball in the central region of heavy-ion collisions. We find that a temperature evolution has a relevant impact on the way the system loses coherence through the coupling with the expanding medium. Finally, we estimate the impact of the time-dependent temperature on the decoherence process, also analyzing a scenario that includes viscous effects without finding a significant change with respect to ideal hydrodynamical evolution.
