Quantum Dynamics in Non-equilibrium Strongly Correlated Environments

We consider a quantum point contact between two Luttinger liquids coupled to a mechanical system (oscillator). For non-vanishing bias, we find an effective oscillator temperature that depends on the Luttinger parameter. A generalized fluctuation-dissipation relation connects the decoherence and dissipation of the oscillator to the current-voltage characteristics of the device. Via a spectral representation, this result is generalized to arbitrary leads in a weak tunneling regime.

Measurement induced quantum-classical transition

A model of an electrical point contact coupled to a mechanical system (oscillator) is studied to simulate the dephasing effect of measurement on a quantum system. The problem is solved at zero temperature under conditions of strong non-equilibrium in the measurement apparatus. For linear coupling between the oscillator and tunneling electrons, it is found that the oscillator dynamics becomes damped, with the effective temperature determined by the voltage drop across the junction. It is demonstrated that both the quantum heating and the quantum damping of the oscillator manifest themselves in the current-voltage characteristic of the point contact.

Time Scales of Phonon Induced Decoherence of Semiconductor Spin Qubits

Decoherence of a shallow donor electron spin in silicon caused by electron-lattice interaction is studied. We find that there are two time scales associated with the evolution of the electron spin density matrix: the fast but incomplete decay due to the interaction with non-resonant phonons followed by slow relaxation resulting from spin flips accompanied by resonant phonon emission. We estimate both time scales as well as the magnitude of the initial drop of coherence for P donor in Si and argue that the approach used is suitable for evaluation of phonon induced decoherence for a general class of localized spin states in semiconductors.

Nuclear Spin Qubit Dephasing Time in the Integer Quantum Hall Effect Regime

We report the first theoretical estimate of the nuclear-spin dephasing time T_2 owing to the spin interaction with the two-dimensional electron gas, when the latter is in the integer quantum Hall state, in a two-dimensional heterojunction or quantum well at low temperature and in large applied magnetic field. We establish that the leading mechanism of dephasing is due to the impurity potentials that influence the dynamics of the spin via virtual magnetic spin-exciton scattering. Implications of our results for implementation of nuclear spins as quantum bits (qubits) for quantum computing are discussed.

Adiabatic Decoherence

We study a general quantum system interacting with environment modeled by the bosonic heat bath of Caldeira and Leggett type. General interaction Hamiltonians are considered that commute with the system's Hamiltonian so that there is no energy exchange between the system and bath. We argue that this model provides an appropriate description of adiabatic quantum decoherence, i.e., loss of entanglement on time scales short compared to those of thermal relaxation processes associated with energy exchange with the bath. The interaction Hamiltonian is then proportional to a conserved "pointer observable." Calculation of the elements of the reduced density matrix of the system is carried out exactly, and time-dependence of decoherence is identified, similar to recent results for related models. Our key finding is that the decoherence process is controlled by spectral properties of the interaction rather than system's Hamiltonian.

Measure of Entaglement

The extent to which a given wave function, $ψ$, is entangled is measured by minimizing the norm of $ψ$ minus all possible unentangled functions. This measure is given by the largest eigenvalue of $ψ^\dagger ψ$, considered as an operator. The definition is basis independent.
