Bridging Quantum and Classical Descriptions of Spin Dynamics in a Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya Trimer

Abstract

The spin dynamics of a trimer with Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya (DM) interaction are investigated within a unified Hamiltonian framework that connects quantum-mechanical and semiclassical descriptions. The interpolation between the two regimes is realised by solving the modified Gisin-Schrödinger equation, in which the relative weight of a quantum coherence and local mean-field contributions is continuously tuned. The resulting dynamical behaviour is analysed and summarised in a ground state diagram that illustrates how the character of the spin motion evolves from fully quantum to semiclassical as the DM interaction is treated at different levels of approximation. In the last part of the publication, the chiral spin dynamics proposed by Da-Wei Wang et al. is examined theoretically, taking into account its behaviour at the boundary between quantum and classical physics.
