Usually, decoherence is generated from the coupling with an outer environment. However, a macroscopic object generically possesses its own environment in itself, namely the complicated dynamics of internal degrees of freedom. We address a…

We present a treatment of decoherence in an atom due to scattering from a gas of free particles. We show that there is a recoil free scattering process that leaves both the atom and the gas in an unchanged state, but allows for the…
We present a nonlinear decoherence model which models decoherence effect caused by various decohereing sources in a quantum system through a nonlinear coupling between the system and its environment, and apply it to investigating…
The Rydberg blockade effect plays an important role in realizing two-qubit gates in atomic arrays. Meanwhile, such mechanics will increase the crosstalk between atoms and enhance the decoherence. In this paper, we propose a new scheme to…
