Amplification and suppression of system-bath correlation effects in an
open many-body system
   [PDF]

Adam Zaman Chaudhry, Jiangbin Gong
Understanding the rich dynamics of open quantum systems is of fundamental interest to quantum control and quantum information processing. By considering an open system of many identical two-level atoms interacting with a common bath, we show that effects of system-bath correlations are amplified in a many-body system via the generation of a short time scale inversely proportional to the number of atoms. Effects of system-bath correlations are therefore considerable even when each individual atom interacts with the bath weakly. We further show that correlation-induced dynamical effects may still be suppressed via the dynamical decoupling approach, but they present a challenge for quantum state protection as the number of atom increases.
