Dynamical correlation functions of the quadratic coupling spin-Boson model
Da-Chuan Zheng, Ning-Hua Tong
The spin-boson model with quadratic coupling is studied using the bosonic numerical renormalization group method. We focus on the dynamical auto-correlation functions C O ( ω ) , with the operator O ^ taken as σ ^ x , σ ^ z , and X ^ , respectively. In the weak-coupling regime α < α c , these functions show power law ω -dependence in the small frequency limit, with the powers 1+2 s , 1+2 s , and s , respectively. At the critical point α = α c of the boson-unstable quantum phase transition, the critical exponents y O of these correlation functions are obtained as y σ x = y σ z = 1 − 2 s and y X = − s , respectively. Here s is the bath index and X is the boson displacement operator. Close to the spin flip point, the high frequency peak of C σ x ( ω ) is broadened significantly and the line shape changes qualitatively, showing enhanced dephasing at the spin flip point.
