Decoherence from dipolar interspin interactions in molecular spin qubits
2019
The realization of spin-based logical gates crucially depends on magnetically coupled spin qubits. Thus, understanding decoherence when spin qubits are in close proximity will become a roadblock to overcome. Herein, we propose a method free of fitting parameters to evaluate the qubit phase memory time ${T}_{m}$ in samples with high electron spin concentrations. The method is based on a model aimed to estimate magnetic nuclear decoherence [P. C. E. Stamp and I. S. Tupitsyn, Phys. Rev. B 69, 014401 (2004)]. It is applied to a ground-spin $J=8$ magnetic molecule 1 displaying atomic clock transitions, namely ${{[\mathrm{H}{\mathrm{o}}^{\mathrm{III}}{({\mathrm{W}}_{5}{\mathrm{O}}_{18})}_{2}]}^{9…
Quantum dynamics of the photostability of pyrazine
2015
We investigate the radiationless decay of photoexcited pyrazine to its ground electronic state using multireference electronic structure and quantum dynamics calculations. We construct a quadratic vibronic coupling Hamiltonian, including the four lowest electronic states and ten vibrational modes, by fitting to more than 5000 ab initio points. We then use this model to simulate the non-adiabatic excited state dynamics of the molecule using the multi-configuration time-dependent Hartree method. On the basis of these calculations, we propose a new mechanism for this decay process involving a conical intersection between the Au(nπ*) state and the ground state. After excitation to the B2u(ππ*) …
Stabilization by dissipation and stochastic resonant activation in quantum metastable systems
2018
In this tutorial paper we present a comprehensive review of the escape dynamics from quantum metastable states in dissipative systems and related noise-induced effects. We analyze the role of dissipation and driving in the escape process from quantum metastable states with and without an external driving force, starting from a nonequilibrium initial condition. We use the Caldeira–Leggett model and a non-perturbative theoretical technique within the Feynman–Vernon influence functional approach in strong dissipation regime. In the absence of driving, we find that the escape time from the metastable region has a nonmonotonic behavior versus the system-bath coupling and the temperature, produci…
Coherent control of stimulated emission process inside one-dimensional photonic crystals
2005
The control of the stimulated emission processes in a 1D PC is discussed. A non-canonical quantization is adopted (QNM). The decay rate of the stimulated emission depends on the cavity and phase-difference of the pumps.
Phase diagram of the two-channel kondo lattice model in one dimension.
2004
Employing the density matrix renormalization group method and strong-coupling perturbation theory, we study the phase diagram of the $\mathrm{SU}(2)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\mathrm{SU}(2)$ Kondo lattice model in one dimension. We show that, at quarter filling, the system can exist in two phases depending on the coupling strength. The weak-coupling phase is dominated by RKKY exchange correlations, while the strong-coupling phase is characterized by strong antiferromagnetic correlations of the channel degree of freedom. These two phases are separated by a quantum critical point. For conduction-band fillings of less than one-quarter, we find a paramagnetic metallic phase at weak coupl…
Two-loop calculation of the anomalous dimension of the axial current with static heavy quarks
1992
Abstract A method to perform two-loop calculations in Eichten's effective field theory for heavy quarks is developed. The anomalous dimension of the axial current for static heavy quarks is calculated at two loops. For N = 3, we get γ A (2) = − 1 36 [ 127 2 +28ξ(2)−5N f ] . This result is very important to understand completely the physical significance of the lattice measurement of the decay constant of the B meson. The two-loop correction generated by γ A (2) turns out to be small, less than 1% for four quark flavours, so that the value of the decay constant of the B meson does not need in practice renormalization group improvement. As extra results, the self-energy renormalization consta…
Infra-Red Asymptotic Dynamics of Gauge Invariant Charged Fields: QED versus QCD
1999
The freedom one has in constructing locally gauge invariant charged fields in gauge theories is analyzed in full detail and exploited to construct, in QED, an electron field whose two-point function W(p), up to the fourth order in the coupling constant, is normalized with on-shell normalization conditions and is, nonetheless, infra-red finite; as a consequence the radiative corrections vanish on the mass shell $p^2=\mu^2$ and the free field singularity is dominant, although, in contrast to quantum field theories with mass gap, the eigenvalue $\mu^2$ of the mass operator is not isolated. The same construction, carried out for the quark in QCD, is not sufficient for cancellation of infra-red …
Antiscreening of the Ampère force in QED and QCD plasmas
2013
The static forces between electric charges and currents are modified at the loop level by the presence of a plasma. While electric charges are screened, currents are not. The effective coupling constant at long distances is enhanced in both cases as compared to the vacuum, and by different amounts, a clear sign that Lorentz symmetry is broken. We investigate these effects quantitatively, first in a QED plasma and secondly using non-perturbative simulations of QCD with two light degenerate flavors of quarks.
Further Comments on a Vanishing Singlet Axial Vector Charge
1998
The recent suggestion of a vanishing flavor-singlet axial charge of nucleon due to a nontrivial vacuum structure is further amplified. A perturbative QCD discussion, applicable for the heavy quark contributions, relates it to the physics of the decoupling theorem. It is also shown that $g_{A}^{0}\simeq 0$ leads to a negative $\eta'$-meson-quark coupling, which has been found to be compatible with the chiral quark model phenomenology.
Quark-meson coupling model with constituent quarks: Exchange and pionic effects
1998
The binding energy of nuclear matter including exchange and pionic effects is calculated in a quark-meson coupling model with massive constituent quarks. As in the case with elementary nucleons in QHD, exchange effects are repulsive. However, the coupling of the mesons directly to the quarks in the nucleons introduces a new effect on the exchange energies that provides an extra repulsive contribution to the binding energy. Pionic effects are not small. Implications of such effects on observables are discussed.
