Acoustic decoherence of flux qubits
Jaroslav Albert, Eugene M. Chudnovsky
Decoherence of a flux qubit due to inelastic scattering of thermal phonons by the qubit is studied. The computed decoherence rates contain no unknown constants and are expressed en…
Electromagnetic radiation from vortex flow in type-II superconductors
L. N. Bulaevskii, E. M. Chudnovsky
We show that a moving vortex lattice, as it comes to a crystal edge, radiates into a free space the harmonics of the washboard frequency, , up to a superconducting gap,…
Relaxation of the Electron Spin in Quantum Dots Via One- and Two-Phonon Processes
C. Calero, E. M. Chudnovsky, D. A. Garanin
We have studied direct and Raman processes of the decay of electron spin states in a quantum dot via radiation of phonons corresponding to elastic twists. Universal dependence of t…
Two-phonon spin-lattice relaxation of rigid atomic clusters
C. Calero, E. M. Chudnovsky, D. A. Garanin
Spin-phonon relaxation due to two-phonon processes of a spin cluster embedded in an elastic medium has been studied. For the case of uniaxial anisotropy, relaxation rates due to Ra…
Phonon-induced relaxation of a two-state system in solids
Jaroslav Albert, E. M. Chudnovsky, D. A. Garanin
We study phonon-induced relaxation of quantum states of a particle (e.g., electron or proton) in a rigid double-well potential in a solid. Relaxation rate due to Raman two-phonon p…
