Sub-Planck scale structures in a vibrating molecule in the presence of decoherence
arXiv:0902.4474 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.79.052104
Abstract
We study the effect of decoherence on the sub-Planck scale structures of the vibrational wave packet of a molecule. The time evolution of these wave packets is investigated under the influence of a photonic or phononic environment. We determine the master equation describing the reduced dynamics of the wave-packet and analyze the sensitivity of the sub-Planck structures against decoherence in the case of a hydrogen iodide (HI) molecule.
