Decoherence in open quantum systems: influence of the intrinsic bath dynamics
CONDENSED MATTER PHYSICS(2022)
摘要
The non-Markovian master equation for open quantum systems is obtained by generalization of the standard Zwanzig-Nakajima (ZN) projection technique. To this end, a coupled chain of equations is written for the reduced density matrices of the bath rho(B)(t) and of the system rho(S)(t). A formal solution of the equation for rho(B)(t) in the 2nd approximation in interaction yields a specific extra term related to the intrinsic bath dynamics. This term is nonlinear in the reduced density matrix rho(S)(t), and vanishes in the Markovian limit. To verify the consistence and robustness of our approach, we apply the generalized ZN projection scheme to a simple dephasing model. We study the obtained kinetic equation both in the Markovian approximation and beyond it (for the term related to the intrinsic bath dynamics) and compare the results with the exact ones.
