In ferromagnetic metals, transverse spin currents are thought to be absorbed via dephasing -- i.e., destructive interference of spins precessing about the strong exchange field. Yet, due to the ultrashort coherence length of $\approx$1 nm…
We consider a linear quench from the paramagnetic to ferromagnetic phase in the quantum Ising chain interacting with a static spin environment. Both decoherence from the environment and non-adiabaticity of the evolution near a critical…
