Surface-hopping dynamics and decoherence with quantum equilibrium structure.
In open quantum systems, decoherence occurs through interaction of a quantum subsystem with its environment. The computation of expectation values requires a knowledge of the quantum dynamics of operators and sampling from initial states of the density matrix describing the subsystem and bath. We consider situations where the quantum evolution can be approximated by quantum-classical Liouville ...
متن کاملDecoherence-induced surface hopping.
A simple surface hopping method for nonadiabatic molecular dynamics is developed. The method derives from a stochastic modeling of the time-dependent Schrödinger and master equations for open systems and accounts simultaneously for quantum mechanical branching in the otherwise classical (nuclear) degrees of freedom and loss of coherence within the quantum (electronic) subsystem due to coupling ...
متن کاملMixed quantum-classical surface hopping dynamics
An algorithm is presented for the exact solution of the evolution of the density matrix of a mixed quantum-classical system in terms of an ensemble of surface hopping trajectories. The system comprises a quantum subsystem coupled to a classical bath whose evolution is governed by a mixed quantum-classical Liouville equation. The integral solution of the evolution equation is formulated in terms...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium quantum phase transition via entanglement decoherence dynamics
We investigate the decoherence dynamics of continuous variable entanglement as the system-environment coupling strength varies from the weak-coupling to the strong-coupling regimes. Due to the existence of localized modes in the strong-coupling regime, the system cannot approach equilibrium with its environment, which induces a nonequilibrium quantum phase transition. We analytically solve the ...
متن کاملA Multiband Semiclassical Model for Surface Hopping Quantum Dynamics
In the paper we derive a semiclassical model for surface hopping allowing quantum dynamical non-adiabatic transition between different potential energy surfaces in which cases the classical Born-Oppenheimer approximation breaks down. The model is derived using the Wigner transform and Weyl quantization, and the central idea is to evolve the entire Wigner matrix rather than just the diagonal ent...
