Abstract

We present a method for the solution of the behavior of an ensemble of qubits in a random time-dependent external field. The forward evolution in time is governed by a transfer matrix. The elements of this matrix determine the various decoherence times. The method provides an exact solution in cases where the noise is piecewise constant in time. We show that it applies, for example, to a realistic model of decoherence of electron spins in semiconductors. Results are obtained for the nonperturbative regimes of the models, and we see a transition from weak relaxation to overdamped behavior as a function of noise anisotropy.

Transfer matrix spectrum for the finite-width Ising model with adjustable boundary conditions: Exact solution

Abraham, D.B. ; Ko, L.F. ; Svrakic, N.M. - Journal of Statistical Physics; (USA)

Using the spinor approach, the authors calculate exactly the complete spectrum of the transfer matrix for the finite-width, planar Ising model with adjustable boundary conditions. Specifically, in order to control the boundary conditions, they consider an Ising model wrapped around the cylinder, and introduce along the axis a seam of defect bonds of variable strength. Depending on the boundary conditions used, the mass gap is found to vanish algebraically or exponentially with the size of the system. These results are compared with recent numerical simulations, and with random-walk and capillary-wave arguments.

Beyond the single-file fluid limit using transfer matrix method: Exact results for confined parallel hard squares

Gurin, Péter ; Varga, Szabolcs - Journal of Chemical Physics

We extend the transfer matrix method of one-dimensional hard core fluids placed between confining walls for that case where the particles can pass each other and at most two layers can form. We derive an eigenvalue equation for a quasi-one-dimensional system of hard squares confined between two parallel walls, where the pore width is between σ and 3σ (σ is the side length of the square). The exact equation of state and the nearest neighbor distribution functions show three different structures: a fluid phase with one layer, a fluid phase with two layers, and a solid-like structure where the fluidmore »« less

Matrix harmonics method and the solution of one-dimensional matrix models of field theory

Badalyan, A.M. - Sov. J. Nucl. Phys. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)

The method of matrix harmonics is used to solve the U(N)-invariant one-dimensional matrix phi/sup 4/ model for N = 2,3,4, and 5 and N..-->..infinity. It is shown that in the minimal harmonic approximation the ground state energy coincides with the known exact value to within < or approx. =1%.

Off-shell Coulomb T matrix in connection with the exact solution of three-particle equations with Coulomb interaction

Kok, L.P. ; van Haeringen, H. - Phys. Rev., C; (United States)

We investigate the problems connected with the incorporation of the Coulomb interaction into the equations which describe reactions involving charged particles. In particular, the formalism of Vesselova and of Alt, Sandhas, and Ziegelmann is considered. Here various Coulomb quantities play a role which all have a so-called essential singularity in the zero-energy point. This singularity has to be taken care of when the total three-particle energy is near the breakup threshold. We use formulas, both for the case of a repulsive and an attractive Coulomb potential, by means of which the essential singularity is split off in a satisfactory way.more »« less
