Geometric nature of the environment-induced Berry phase and geometric dephasing.
We investigate the geometric phase or Berry phase acquired by a spin half which is both subject to a slowly varying magnetic field and weakly coupled to a dissipative environment (either quantum or classical). We study how this phase is modified by the environment and find that the modification is of a geometric nature. While the original Berry phase (for an isolated system) is the flux of a mo...
متن کاملGeometric phase in open systems.
We calculate the geometric phase associated with the evolution of a system subjected to decoherence through a quantum-jump approach. The method is general and can be applied to many different physical systems. As examples, two main sources of decoherence are considered: dephasing and spontaneous decay. We show that the geometric phase is completely insensitive to the former, i.e., it is indepen...
متن کاملGeometric dephasing in zero-field magnetic resonance
Geometric phases acquired randomly can give rise to coherence dephasing in nuclear spin systems, equivalent to spin relaxation. We calculate the form and extent of this geometric dephasing in a number of model systems involving the motion of Xe nuclei in shaped containers. The dephasing is calculated in two ways: first, using an analytical treatment of the diffusive motion of individual nuclei,...
متن کاملGeometric phase distributions for open quantum systems.
In an open system, the geometric phase should be described by a distribution. We show that a geometric phase distribution for open system dynamics is in general ambiguous, but the imposition of reasonable physical constraints on the environment and its coupling with the system yields a unique geometric phase distribution that applies even for mixed states, nonunitary dynamics, and noncyclic evo...
متن کاملDephasing of interacting tunneling systems
We investigate the phase coherence time of weakly interacting tunneling systems (TSs). We show that all neighbors of a given TS form together with the TS of interest an entangled cluster as long as the linewidth of the excitation of the neighbor is smaller than its interaction energy with the TS of interest. Thus, the relaxation of all neighbors in the cluster contributes to the dephasing of th...
