چکیده
We point out that the central theme in the paper by Wang, Xiong, and Wang @Phys. Rev. B 61, R5090 ~2000!# is the inseparability of electron degrees of freedom and those of electromagnetic field ~EMF!. The dephasing of conduction electrons due to zero-point fluctuation ~ZPF! of EMF is because experiments probe electron degrees of freedom only. The treatment of ZPF of EMF in the above paper is oversimplified, and a proper handling of the effects of electron-EMF coupling is required.

Possible weak temperature dependence of electron dephasing
The first-principle theory of electron dephasing by disorder-induced two state fluctuators is developed. There exist two mechanisms of dephasing. First, dephasing occurs due to direct transitions between the defect levels caused by inelastic electron-defect scattering. The second mechanism is due to violation of the time reversal symmetry caused by time-dependent fluctuations of the scattering ...
متن کاملReply to " Comment on 'two Fermi Points in the Exact Solution of the Kondo Problem "
In his Comment N. Andrei questions the use of symmetric limits of integration of the Bethe ansatz integral equations in my recent study devoted to some features of the Bethe ansatz solution of the Kondo problem. In this Reply I show that the statement of the Comment about the asymmetry of integration limits contradicts the distribution of the quantum numbers in discrete Bethe ansatz equations. ...
متن کاملDecoherence in Disordered Conductors at Low Temperatures, the Effect of Soft Local Excitations
The conduction electrons’ dephasing rate, τ φ , is expected to vanish with the temperature. A very intriguing apparent saturation of this dephasing rate in several systems was recently reported at very low temperatures. The suggestion that this represents dephasing by zero-point fluctuations has generated both theoretical and experimental controversies. We start by proving that the dephasing ra...
متن کاملLocalization and Dephasing Driven by Magnetic Fluctuations in Low Carrier Density Colossal Magnetoresistance Materials
Localization and dephasing of conduction electrons in a low carrier density ferromagnet due to scattering on magnetic fluctuations is considered. We claim the existence of the ”mobility edge”, which separates the states with fast diffusion and the states with slow diffusion; the latter is determined by the dephasing time. When the ”mobility edge” crosses the Fermi energy a large and sharp chang...
متن کاملRadically Questioning the Principle of the Least Restrictive Alternative: A Reply to Nir Eyal; Comment on “Nudging by Shaming, Shaming by Nudging”
In his insightful editorial, Nir Eyal explores the connections between nudging and shaming. One upshot of his argument is that we should question the principle of the least restrictive alternative in public health and health policy. In this commentary, I maintain that Eyal’s argument undermines only a rather implausible version of the principle of the least restrictive alternative and I sketch ...
