Adiabatic Decoherence
arXiv:quant-ph/9709020 · doi:10.1023/A:1023042014131
Abstract
We study a general quantum system interacting with environment modeled by the bosonic heat bath of Caldeira and Leggett type. General interaction Hamiltonians are considered that commute with the system's Hamiltonian so that there is no energy exchange between the system and bath. We argue that this model provides an appropriate description of adiabatic quantum decoherence, i.e., loss of entanglement on time scales short compared to those of thermal relaxation processes associated with energy exchange with the bath. The interaction Hamiltonian is then proportional to a conserved "pointer observable." Calculation of the elements of the reduced density matrix of the system is carried out exactly, and time-dependence of decoherence is identified, similar to recent results for related models. Our key finding is that the decoherence process is controlled by spectral properties of the interaction rather than system's Hamiltonian.
