Novel quantum phase transition in the sub-Ohmic spin-boson model    [PDF]

We study the quantum phase transition (QPT) of the sub-Ohmic spin-Boson model (SBM) both with and without the rotating-wave approximation (RWA). It is shown analytically that a novel QPT occurs in the model when the RWA is used. When the RWA is relaxed, after revealing the conventional delocalized-localized QPT in the full range of the power index $s$ of the spectral density, we show that the novel QPT still exists in the delocalized phase regime based on the perturbation method. This QPT causes a dynamical transition of the spin system from complete decoherence to decoherence suppression, which suggests a useful control way to the detrimental effects of the reservoir to the system. Our result also shows that the coherent-incoherent transition extensively studied is caused essentially by the intrinsic QPT of the system.
