Quantum many-body theory of qubit decoherence in a finite-size spin bath

Abstract

Decoherence of a center spin or qubit in a spin bath is essentially determined by the many-body bath evolution. We develop a cluster-correlation expansion (CCE) theory for the spin bath dynamics relevant to the qubit decoherence problem. A cluster correlation term is recursively defined as the evolution of a group of bath spins divided by the cluster correlations of all the subgroups. The so-defined correlation accounts for the authentic collective excitations within a given group. The bath propagator is the product of all possible cluster correlation terms. For a finite-time evolution as in the qubit decoherence problem, a convergent result can be obtained by truncating the expansion up to a certain cluster size. The two-spin cluster truncation of the CCE corresponds to the pair-correlation approximation [PRB 74,195301(2006)]. In terms of the standard linked cluster expansion, a cluster correlation term is the infinite summation of all the connected diagrams with all and only the spins in the group flip-flopped, and thus the expansion is exact whenever converges. When the individual contribution of each higher-order correlation term to the decoherence is small, as the usual case for relatively large baths where the decoherence could complete well within the bath spin flip-flop time, the CCE coincides with the cluster expansion [PRB 74,035322(2006)]. For small baths, however, the qubit decoherence may not complete within the bath spin flip-flop timescale and thus individual higher-order cluster correlations could grow significant. In such cases, only the CCE converges to the exact coherent dynamics of multi-spin clusters. We check the accuracy of the CCE in an exactly solvable spin-chain model.
