Decoherence and localization in the double well model

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We use a spin-1/2 model to analyze tunnelling in a double well system coupled to an external reservoir. We consider different noise sources such as fluctuations on the height and central position of the barrier and propose an experiment to observe these effects in trapped ions or atoms.
