Fully polarized states and decoherence
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of this review is to show how “ferromagnetic” states, that is, states having a fully polarization, can produce intrinsic decoherence by unitary evolution. This effect can give an understanding of recent experiments on mesoscopic devices as quantum point contacts showing the 0.7 conductance anomaly and the wide number of data about saturation of dephasing time observed at very low temperatures, as a fully polarized two dimensional electron gas. But similar effects can be seen in different area of physics as for example the Dicke model describing the interaction of two-level systems with a radiation mode. In this case one can show that decoherence is intrinsic and remove a Schrödinger cat state leaving a single coherent state, collapsing the wave function in the thermodynamic limit. So, saturation of dephasing time at low temperatures in mesoscopic devices can be understood by a fully polarized two dimensional electron gas that, by an exchange model, can be reduced to a generalized form of the Dicke Hamiltonian and where the quasiparticles are spin excitations interacting with magnons. In this way, one can see that several experiments on nanowires and quantum dots can be satisfactorily explained. The existence of intrinsic decoherence in the thermodynamic limit could have deep implications in fundamental problems like quantum measurement and irreversibility. Recent experiments with cavities with a large number of photons and with nuclear magnetic resonance in organic molecular crystals give a first strong support to this view.

We investigated the coherence of spin-polarized Sr atoms trapped in a light-shift-free one-dimensional optical lattice during their interaction with a clock laser on the S0 − P0 transition. Collapses and revivals appeared for more than 50 Rabi cycles, attributed to the thermal distribution of discrete vibrational states in the lattice potential. The population oscillation in the clock states la...

By viewing current in the detecting lead of a spintronic device as being an ensemble of flowing spins corresponding to a mixed quantum state, where each spin itself is generally described by an improper mixture generated during the transport where it couples to other degrees of freedom due to spin-orbit sSOd interactions or inhomogeneous magnetic fields, we introduce the spin-density operator a...

We investigate coherent time evolution of charge states (pseudospin qubit) in a semiconductor double quantum dot. This fully tunable qubit is manipulated with a high-speed voltage pulse that controls the energy and decoherence of the system. Coherent oscillations of the qubit are observed for several combinations of many-body ground and excited states of the quantum dots. Possible decoherence m...
