Dephasing dynamics of an impurity coupled to an anharmonic environment

Abstract

We analyze the dephasing dynamics of an impurity coupled to an anharmonic environment. We show that a strong anharmonicity produces two different effects depending on the environment temperature: for high temperatures, the system suffers a strong dephasing, while for low temperatures there is a strong information back-flow (as measured by the Breuer-Laine-Piilo (BLP) non-Markovianity measure). Both dephasing and back-flow are particularly significant when the anharmonic potential allows environment states very close to the dissociation limit. In contrast, the information back-flow is suppressed when assuming the environment to be Gaussian. In this regard, we find that the Gaussian approximation is particularly poor at low temperatures. arXiv:1907.07360v1 [quant-ph]

Controllable fast light in quantum dot molecules assisted hybrid optomechanical system

“…Two output fields are introduced in the cavity with different frequency, where the one field provides the tunneling strength in the QDMs. This paper is arranged as follows: In Section 2, we describe the optomechanical system [30] and its theoretical framework. In Section 3, we calculate steady state solution, leading reflection and transmission coefficient for the field as well as group delay [31].…”
