Gauging a quantum heat bath with dissipative Landau-Zener transitions.

چکیده
We calculate the exact Landau-Zener transition probabilities for a qubit with an arbitrary linear coupling to a bath at zero temperature. The final quantum state exhibits a peculiar entanglement between the qubit and the bath. In the special case of diagonal coupling, the bath does not influence the transition probability, whatever the speed of the Landau-Zener sweep. It is proposed to use Landau-Zener transitions to determine both the reorganization energy and the integrated spectral density of the bath. Possible applications include circuit QED and molecular nanomagnets.

Bath-independent Transition Probabilities in the Dissipative Landau-zener Problem
We study Landau-Zener transitions of a two-level system that is coupled to a quantum heat bath at zero temperature. In particular, we reveal that for a whole class of models, the probability for a nonadiabatic transition is bath-independent.

متن کاملLandau–Zener tunnelling in dissipative circuit QED
We investigate the influence of temperature and dissipation on the Landau–Zener transition probability in circuit QED. Dissipation is modelled by coupling the transmission line to a bath of harmonic oscillators, and the reduced density operator is treated within Bloch–Redfield theory. A phase-space representation allows an efficient numerical implementation of the resulting master equation. It ...
متن کاملEntanglement creation in circuit QED via Landau–Zener sweeps
A qubit may undergo Landau–Zener transitions due to its coupling to one or several quantum harmonic oscillators. We show that for a qubit coupled to one oscillator, Landau–Zener transitions can be used for single-photon generation and for the controllable creation of qubit–oscillator entanglement, with state-of-the-art circuit QED as a promising realization. Moreover, for a qubit coupled to two...

In this article we consider the resistance of a quantum LC circuit as a heat bath. The heat bath can be modeled by a collection of quantum harmonic oscillators with a continuum of frequencies. By using the minimal coupling method between the circuit and the field describing the environment, the process of energy dissipation and probability transitions between the energy levels of the quantum c...
