Equilibrium dynamics of the dissipative two-state system

Condensed Matter 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

Wilson's momentum shell renormalization group method is used to solve for the dynamics of the dissipative two--state system. We utilize the mapping of the spin--boson model onto the anisotropic Kondo model (AKM) and solve for the dynamics of the latter. We find that the AKM captures the physics of the dissipative two--state system for dissipation strength 0α40\leq\alpha\leq 4 corresponding to J\infty\geq J_{\parallel}\geq -\infty in the AKM. The dynamics of the AKM shows a smooth crossover between two strong coupling regimes corresponding to weak and strong dissipation in the spin--boson model.
