Facets of Decoherence: Chiral Magnetic Effect in Heavy Ion Collisions

Published Jan 1, 2014• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

We discuss the effect of anisotropy for fluctuations of electric currents in magnetic field using the quantum measurements theory language. Possible interpretation of parity-odd phenomena like Chiral Magnetic Effect in this framework is given. It is advocated that quantum-to-classical transition caused by decoherence plays crucial role. The talk is based on papers [1–3].

Quantum measurements and chiral magnetic effect

Vladimir I Shevchenko

The effect of anisotropy for fluctuations of electric currents in magnetic field is addressed within framework of quantum measurements theory.It is shown that for free fermions in uniform magnetic field the anisotropy is of the same sign as one expects for chiral magnetic effect and is related to triangle anomaly.The corresponding decoherence functional contains anomalous off-diagonal terms leading to correlation of fluctuations between observables of opposite P-parity.

Effects of magnetic anisotropy on spin and thermal transport in classical antiferromagnets on the square lattice

Kazushi Aoyama, Hikaru Kawamura

Transport properties of the classical antiferromagnetic XXZ model on the square lattice have been theoretically investigated, putting emphasis on how the occurrence of a phase transition is reflected in spin and thermal transports. As is well known, the anisotropy of the exchange interaction $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}\ensuremath{\equiv}{J}_{z}/{J}_{x}$ plays a role to control the universality class of the transition of the model, i.e., either a second-order transition at ${T}_{N}$ into a magnetically ordered state or the Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) transition at ${T}_{\text{KT}}$, which respectively occur for the Ising-type ($\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}>1$) and XY-type ($\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}<1$) anisotropies, while for the isotropic Heisenberg case of $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}=1$, a phase transition does not occur at any finite temperature. It is found by means of the hybrid Monte Carlo and spin-dynamics simulations that the spin current probes the difference in the ordering properties, while the thermal current does not. For the XY-type anisotropy, the longitudinal spin-current conductivity ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{xx}^{s}$ ($={\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{yy}^{s}$) exhibits a divergence at ${T}_{\text{KT}}$ of the exponential form ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{xx}^{s}\ensuremath{\propto}exp\left[B/\sqrt{T/{T}_{\text{KT}}\ensuremath{-}1}\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\right]$ with $B=O(1)$, while for the Ising-type anisotropy, the temperature dependence of ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{xx}^{s}$ is almost monotonic without showing a clear anomaly at ${T}_{N}$ and such a monotonic behavior is also the case in the Heisenberg-type spin system. The significant enhancement of ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{xx}^{s}$ at ${T}_{\text{KT}}$ is found to be due to the exponential rapid growth of the spin-current relaxation time toward ${T}_{\text{KT}}$, which can be understood as a manifestation of the topological nature of a vortex whose lifetime is expected to get longer toward ${T}_{\text{KT}}$. Possible experimental platforms for the spin-transport phenomena associated with the KT topological transition are discussed.

Simulating Chiral Magnetic and Separation Effects with Spin-Orbit Coupled Atomic Gases

Xu-Guang Huang

The chiral magnetic and chiral separation effects-quantum-anomaly-induced electric current and chiral current along an external magnetic field in parity-odd quark-gluon plasma-have received intense studies in the community of heavy-ion collision physics. We show that analogous effects occur in rotating trapped Fermi gases with Weyl-Zeeman spin-orbit coupling where the rotation plays the role of an external magnetic field. These effects can induce a mass quadrupole in the atomic cloud along the rotation axis which may be tested in future experiments. Our results suggest that the spin-orbit coupled atomic gases are potential simulators of the chiral magnetic and separation effects.

Time evolution of gluon coherent state and its von Neumann entropy in heavy-ion collisions

Hideaki Iida, Teiji Kunihiro, Akira Ohnishi A +1 more

We propose a new prescription for evaluating a von Neumann entropy in the initial stage of high-energy heavy-ion collisions utilizing the time evolution of classical Yang-Mills (CYM) field: The von Neumann entropy is computed for the quantum coherent states constructed so as to give the classical gluon fields as the expectation values. The entropy is to be liberated when the complete decoherence is achieved. As a demonstration, the time evolution of the CYM dynamics is solved with an initial condition which mimics the Glasma state, though in a non-expanding geometry; the Glasma state is characterized by the longitudinal color-electric and -magnetic fields with gluon fields' fluctuations around it. We find that the initial longitudinal fluctuations of the fields play essential roles for the entropy production in two ways: First, the field fluctuations at $t=0$ themselves act as a source of the von Neumann entropy prepared before the time evolution. Second, the initial fluctuations triggers field instabilities, and hence the larger the strength of them, the more the entropy production at later time.
