Spin-Spin Correlators in the Majorana Representation

Alexander Shnirman, Yuriy Makhlin

In the Majorana representation of a spin 1/2 we find an identity which relates spin-spin correlators to one-particle fermionic correlators. This should be contrasted with the straightforward approach in which two-particle (four-fermion) correlators need to be calculated. We discuss applications to the analysis of the dynamics of a spin coupled to a dissipative environment and of a quantum detector performing a continuous measurement of a qubit's state.

Spin Dynamics from Majorana Fermions

Wenjin Mao, Piers Coleman, C. Hooley +1 more

Using the Majorana fermion representation of spin-1/2 local moments, we show how the dynamic spin correlation and susceptibility are obtained directly from the one-particle Majorana propagator. We illustrate our method by applying it to the spin dynamics of a nonequilibrium quantum dot, computing the voltage-dependent spin relaxation rate and showing that, at weak coupling, the fluctuation-dissipation relation for the spin of a quantum dot is voltage dependent. We confirm the voltage-dependent Curie susceptibility recently found by Parcollet and Hooley [Phys. Rev. B 66, 085315 (2002)]].

Fermionic formalism for driven-dissipative multilevel systems

Yulia E. Shchadilova, Mor M. Roses, Emanuele G. Dalla Torre +2 more

We present a fermionic description of nonequilibrium multilevel systems. Our approach uses the Keldysh path-integral formalism and allows us to take into account periodic drives, as well as dissipative channels. The technique is based on the Majorana fermion representation of spin-1/2 models which follows earlier applications in the context of spin and Kondo systems. We apply this formalism to problems of increasing complexity: a dissipative two-level system, a driven-dissipative multilevel atom, and a generalized Dicke model describing many multilevel atoms coupled to a single cavity. We compare our theoretical predictions with recent QED experiments and point out the features of a counterlasing transition. Our technique provides a convenient and powerful framework for analyzing driven-dissipative quantum systems, complementary to other approaches based on the solution of Lindblad master equations.
