Title: Quantum-to-classical crossover near quantum critical point

Abstract

A quantum phase transition (QPT) is an inherently dynamic phenomenon. However, while non-dissipative quantum dynamics is described in detail, the question, that is not thoroughly understood is how the omnipresent dissipative processes enter the critical dynamics near a quantum critical point (QCP). Here we report a general approach enabling inclusion of both adiabatic and dissipative processes into the critical dynamics on the same footing. We reveal three distinct critical modes, the adiabatic quantum mode (AQM), the dissipative classical mode [classical critical dynamics mode (CCDM)], and the dissipative quantum critical mode (DQCM). We find that as a result of the transition from the regime dominated by thermal fluctuations to that governed by the quantum ones, the system acquires effective dimension d+z Lambda(T), where z is the dynamical exponent, and temperature-depending parameter.(T). [0, 1] decreases with the temperature such that.(T=0)=1 and Lambda(T ->infinity)=0. Our findings lead to a unified picture of quantum critical phenomena including both dissipation-and dissipationless quantum dynamic effects and offer a quantitative description of the quantum-to-classical crossover.
