Quantum phase transition between antiferromagnetic and charge order in the Hubbard–Holstein model

Johannes Bauer, Alex C. Hewson

Abstract We explore the quantum phase transitions between two ordered states in the infinite dimensional Hubbard–Holstein model at half filling. Our study is based on the dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) combined with the numerical renormalization group (NRG), which allows us to handle both strong electron–electron and strong electron–phonon interactions. The transition line is characterized by an effective electron–electron interaction. Depending on this effective interaction and the phonon frequency ω0 one finds either a continuous transition or discontinuous transition. Here, the analysis focuses on the behavior of the system when the electron–electron repulsion U and the phonon‐mediated attraction λ are equal. We first discuss the adiabatic and antiadiabatic limiting cases. For finite ω0 we study the differences between the antiferromagnetic (AFM) and charge order, and find that when present the AFM state has a lower energy on the line.

Off-diagonal electron-phonon coupling effects on two-level system dynamics

Leonard Ruocco, Mona Berciu, Jeff F. Young

Electromagnetically coupled two-level systems play a central role in several condensed matter components being considered for quantum information processing applications. If the states couple to phonon excitations, their electromagnetic response is altered via phonon-assisted transitions and lifetime broadening. The former has been treated extensively for a number of specific two-level systems (e.g., excitons in artificial quantum dots, localized states associated with impurities or defects, etc.), but the latter has received less attention. Here we study a microscopic model of the dipole transition of a two-level system under the influence of both diagonal and nondiagonal interactions with a bath of phonons. Our results capture both the influence of the frequency distribution of phonons on the relative spectral weight of the zero-phonon transition and the phonon sidebands, and the broadening of the zero-phonon line due to nondiagonal electron-phonon coupling. We use a formalism that includes non-Markovian effects related to the feedback mechanism between the two-level system and the phonon bath. For simplified forms of the phonon spectral functions we provide analytical expressions up to second order in the coupling strength that demonstrate the importance of including both forms of electron-phonon coupling in studies of these systems. Our formalism can be generalized to higher orders of coupling and for realistic phonon spectral functions.

Phonon effects on a multichannel resonance-level model

Qingshan Yuan, Hong Chen, Yumei Zhang +2 more

The phonon effects on a multichannel resonant-level model have been studied by a bosonization technique and canonical transformations. We found that the model can be mapped onto a single-channel Kondo model and the non-Fermi-liquid transition is modified by local electron - phonon interaction. At strong interaction, only one channel of conducting electrons is necessary in order to realize this transition and it is the phonon effects that control the behaviour of the system.
