1304.1910 (Heiner Kohler et al.)

Non-equilibrium dynamics of a system with Quantum Frustration    [PDF]

Heiner Kohler, Andreas Hackl, Stefan Kehrein
Using flow equations, equilibrium and non-equilibrium dynamics of a two-level system are investigated, which couples via non-commuting components to two independent oscillator baths. In equilibrium the two-level energy splitting is protected when the TLS is coupled symmetrically to both bath. A critical asymmetry angle separates the localized from the delocalized phase. On the other hand, real-time decoherence of a non-equilibrium initial state is for a generic initial state faster for a coupling to two baths than for a single bath.
