Time evolution of a pair of distinguishable interacting spins subjected to controllable and noisy magnetic fields

Abstract

The quantum dynamics of a ${\hat{\mathbf{J}}}^2=({\hat{\mathbf{j}}}_1+{\hat{\mathbf{j}}}_2{)}^2$-conserving Hamiltonian model describing two coupled spins ${\hat{\mathbf{j}}}_1$ and ${\hat{\mathbf{j}}}_2$ under controllable and fluctuating time-dependent magnetic fields is investigated. Each eigenspace of ${\hat{\mathbf{J}}}^2$ is dynamically invariant and the Hamiltonian of the total system restricted to any one of such $(j_1+j_2)-|j_1-j_2|+1$ eigenspaces, possesses the SU(2) structure of the Hamiltonian of a single fictitious spin acted upon by the total magnetic field. We show that such a reducibility holds regardless of the time dependence of the externally applied field as well as of the statistical properties of the noise, here represented as a classical fluctuating magnetic field. The time evolution of the joint transition probabilities of the two spins ${\hat{\mathbf{j}}}_1$ and ${\hat{\mathbf{j}}}_2$ between two prefixed factorized states is examined, bringing to light peculiar dynamical properties of the system under scrutiny. When the noise-induced non-unitary dynamics of the two coupled spins is properly taken into account, analytical expressions for the joint Landau-Zener transition probabilities are reported. The possibility of extending the applicability of our results to other time-dependent spin models is pointed out.
