Analyzing the spin-bath model without simulations

Sebastián Fortín, Olímpia Lombardi

On the basis of a lemma designed to decide whether a discrete system decoheres or not with no need of computer simulations, in this paper we analyze the well-known spin-bath model. The lemma allows us to predict the decoherence of the system by analytical means.

Rotationally induced collapse and revivals of molecular vibrational wavepackets: model for environment-induced decoherence

Sascha Wallentowitz, Ian A. Walmsley, Leon J. Waxer +1 more

We present an analytical calculation that predicts the collapse of vibrational wavepackets in molecules due to the coupling of the rotational and vibrational degrees of freedom. At longer times a new class of revivals is predicted in the vibrational degree of freedom, due to the finite size and discrete nature of the rotational reservoir. The interplay of these competing behaviours is studied in the context of current experiments, and conditions for observing the revivals are described. Furthermore, the conditions for which the molecular vibration and rotation can be regarded as a system and its reservoir-like environment are described, in which case the ro-vibrational coupling can be considered effectively as a mechanism for decoherence of the vibrational motion. Comparison of the dephasing time predicted by this model with that observed in recent experiments is made.
