central-spin model with homogeneous couplings

چکیده
We calculate exactly the time-dependent reduced density matrix for the central spin in the central-spin model with homogeneous Heisenberg couplings. Therefrom, the dynamics and the entanglement entropy of the central spin are obtained. A rich variety of behaviors is found, depending on the initial state of the bath spins. For an initially unpolarized unentangled bath, the polarization of the central spin decays to zero in the thermodynamic limit, while its entanglement entropy becomes maximal. On the other hand, if the unpolarized environment is initially in an eigenstate of the total bath spin, the central spin and the entanglement entropy exhibit persistent monochromatic large-amplitude oscillations. This raises the question to what extent entanglement of the bath spins prevents decoherence of the central spin. PACS numbers: 03.67.Mn, 03.65.Yz, 73.21.La, 02.30.Ik

Control of open quantum systems: case study of the central spin model
We study the controllability of a central spin guided by a classical field and interacting with a spin bath and show that the central spin is fully controllable independently of the number of bath spins. Additionally we find that for unequal system-bath couplings even the bath becomes controllable by acting on the central spin alone. We then analyze numerically how the time to implement gates o...
متن کاملExact dynamics in the central-spin model
Using the Bethe ansatz, we present a general formula for the dynamics of the central spin in the central-spin model with inhomogeneous Heisenberg couplings and with a central magnetic field. We evaluate this formula both analytically and numerically for a fully polarized bath. For this configuration, we find, after an initial decay, an oscillatory behaviour of the central spin at all times. PAC...
متن کاملModified mathematical model for variable fill fluid coupling
Variable fill fluid couplings are used in the speed control units. Also, variation in coupling oil volume is used in adapting one size of coupling to a wider range of power transmission applications. Available model for the partially filled fluid couplings, has a good performance for couplings with fixed amount of oil but their performance will be degraded if they are used for the variable fill...
متن کاملEntanglement in spin chains with gradients
We study solvable spin chains where either fields or couplings vary linearly in space and create a sandwich-like structure of the ground state. We find that the entanglement entropy between two halves of a chain varies logarithmically with the interface width. After quenching to a homogeneous critical system, the entropy grows logarithmically in time in the XX model, but quadratically in the tr...
متن کاملExact results on spin dynamics and multiple quantum dynamics in alternating spin - 1 2 chains with XY - Hamiltonian at high temperatures
We extend the picture of a transfer of nuclear spin2 polarization along a homogeneous one-dimensional chain with the XY -Hamiltonian to the inhomogeneous chain with alternating nearest neighbour couplings and alternating Larmor frequencies. To this end, we calculate exactly the spectrum of the spin2 XY -Hamiltonian of the alternating chain with an odd number of sites. The exact spectrum of the ...
