Quantum viscosity mechanism of the dissipative dynamics in the Dicke model expressed via Lindblad equation of motion
Quantum dissipation is studied in the superradiant phase of the Extended Dicke model. It is demonstrated analytically by quantum mechanical derivation of the Lindblad equation for the Dicke model in the superradiant state coupled to Caldeira-Leggett thermal bath, that the effective viscosity appearing in the semiclassical equations of motion of polaritonic condensate survives in the zero temperature limit T -> 0. The nonzero contribution to viscosity contains prefactor nB (ω, T ) + 1 with the Bose-Einstein function nB of harmonic oscillators in the thermal bath, indicating that virtual excitations of harmonic oscillators in the thermal bath coupled to the polaritons of Dicke model give rise to effective viscosity in the T -> 0 limit. Besides, it is demonstrated analytically, that correct expression for Lindbladian in the superradiant phase should be built using condensate-shifted creation and annihilation operators of the photons and pseudospin operators in Holstein-Primakoff representation of the coupled to photons two-level systems in order the system could relax to its minimum energy in T -> 0 limit due to thermal bath provided effective viscosity.
