Spin Polarization Oscillations and Coherence Time in the Random Interaction Approach

Abstract

We study the time evolution of the survival probability and the spin polarization of a dissipative nondegenerate two-level system in the presence of a magnetic field in the Faraday configuration. We apply the Extended Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble approach to model the stochastic system-environment interaction and calculate the survival and spin polarization to first and second order of the interaction picture. We present also the time evolution of the thermal average of these quantities as functions of the temperature, the magnetic field, and the energy-levels density, for ρ(ϵ)∝ϵs , in the subohmic, ohmic, and superohmic dissipation forms. We show that the behavior of the spin polarization calculated here agrees rather well with the time evolution of spin polarization observed and calculated, recently, for the electron-nucleus dynamics of Ga centers in dilute (Ga,N)As semiconductors.

Spin relaxation in a complex environment

Massimiliano Esposito, Pierre Gaspard

We report the study of a model of a two-level system interacting in a nondiagonal way with a complex environment described by Gaussian orthogonal random matrices (GORM). The effect of the interaction on the total spectrum and its consequences on the dynamics of the two-level system is analyzed. We show the existence of a critical value of the interaction, depending on the mean level spacing of the environment, above which the dynamics is self-averaging and closely obey a master equation for the time evolution of the observables of the two-level system. Analytic results are also obtained in the strong coupling regimes. We finally study the equilibrium values of the two-level system population and show under which condition it thermalizes to the environment temperature.

Time evolution and decoherence of a spin- 12 particle coupled to a spin bath in thermal equilibrium

Yamen Hamdouni, Francesco Petruccione

The time evolution of a spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ particle under the influence of a locally applied external magnetic field, and interacting with anisotropic spin environment in thermal equilibrium at temperature $T$ is studied. The exact analytical form of the reduced density matrix of the central spin is calculated explicitly for a finite number of bath spins. The case of an infinite number of environmental spins is investigated using the convergence of the rescaled bath operators to normal Gaussian random variables. In this limit, we derive the analytical form of the components of the Bloch vector for antiferromagnetic interactions within the bath, and we investigate the short-time and long-time behavior of reduced dynamics. The effect of the external magnetic field, the anisotropy, and the temperature of the bath on the decoherence of the central spin are discussed.

Interplay of dissipation and memory in the quantum Langevin dynamics of a spin in a magnetic field

Suraka Bhattacharjee, Koushik Mandal, Supurna Sinha

We derive a quantum Langevin equation for a quantum spin in the presence of a magnetic field and coupled to a bath. We have considered two models for the bath: an Ohmic bath model and a non-Markovian Drude bath model with finite memory. The effect of finite memory on the dynamics of the quantum spin is studied in detail. In particular, we have studied the effect of memory on the expectation values of the magnetic moment and the spin correlation functions. The time evolution study of the spin correlation functions shows that the correlation functions exhibit a damped oscillatory behavior with the randomization time being determined by the damping rate. We have analytically shown that the damping gets affected by the finite memory time when the bath retains memory of the interaction with the system. We also analyze the spin response function of the system for the Ohmic bath. Our results qualitatively agree with the findings in spin noise spectroscopy experiments and our predictions can be tested in future ultracold atom experiments.

Bifurcations and chaos in nonlinear Lindblad equations

Bernd Fernengel, Barbara Drossel

Abstract The Lindblad equation describes the dissipative time evolution of a density matrix that characterizes an open quantum system in contact with its environment. The widespread ensemble interpretation of a density matrix requires its time evolution to be linear. However, when the dynamics of the density matrix is of a quantum system results not only from the interaction with an external environment, but also with other quantum systems of the same type, the ensemble interpretation is inappropriate and nonlinear dynamics arise naturally. We therefore study the dynamical behavior of nonlinear Lindblad equations using the example of a two-level system. By using techniques developed for classical dynamical systems we show that various types of bifurcations and even chaotic dynamics can occur. As specific examples that display the various types of dynamical behavior, we suggest explicit models based on systems of interacting spins at finite temperature and exposed to a magnetic field that can change in dependence of the magnetization. Due to the interaction between spins, which is treated at mean-field level, the Hamiltonian as well as the transition rates of the Lindblad equation become dependent on the density matrix.

Longitudinal Relaxation Time in a Degenerate, Polarized Fermi Gas

Erik D. Nelson

The longitudinal relaxation time T$\\sb1$ is calculated for a dilute Fermi gas. We include the possibility of arbitrary degrees of polarization P, and uniform external magnetic fields. At low temperatures T$\\sb1$ is proportional to T$\\sp{-2}$ for the unpolarized gas in agreement with earlier calculations. For a polarized system in zero applied field the separation between up and down Fermi spheres provides an open channel in phase space for spin flipping processes. As temperature is reduced to zero T$\\sb1$ levels off and approaches a constant value which depends sensitively on P, leading to much smaller values of T$\\sb1$ than in the unpolarized case. For relaxation in a uniform external field H, Zeeman energy conservation during spin flipping interactions essentially shifts the location of the T$\\sp{-2}$ behavior from zero polarization to the polarization P(H) which would be produced in equilibrium with the external field H. When the initial polarization of the system is different from P(H), T$\\sb1$ again approaches a constant value which is equally sensitive to the initial polarization as temperature is reduced to zero. We apply our calculations to the case of dilute $\\sp3$He-HeII solutions. We also consider the calculation of density dependent corrections to T$\\sb1$ for unpolarized, or weakly polarized $\\sp3$He-HeII using the long wavelength limit of the Bardeen-Baym-Pines interaction as a form for the spin independent part of the $\\sp3$He-$\\sp3$He interaction. Owing to the positive sign of the antisymmetric Landau parameter $\\rm F\\sbsp{o}{a}$ in dilute $\\sp3$He-HeII Fermi Liquid interactions act to screen the magnetic dipole interactions which cause relaxation. To lowest order in density we find that the relaxation rate 1/T$\\sb1$ is reduced by factor $\\rm (1 - 3F\\sbsp{o}{a})$ which compares favorably with recent calculations of T$\\sb1$ for pure $\\sp3$He.
