Vanishing environment-induced decoherence

Abstract

For a central system uniformly coupled to a XY spin-1/2 bath in a transverse field, we explicitly calculate the Loschmidt echo(LE) to characterize decoherence quantitatively. We find that the anisotropy parameter γ\gamma affects decoherence of the central system sensitively when γ[0,1]\gamma \in [0,1]% , in particular, the LE becomes unit without varying with time when γ=0\gamma =0 , implying that environment-induced decoherence vanishes . Some other cases in which the LE is unit are discussed also.
