We consider a model of the dynamics of a magnetic grain, incorporating interactions with nuclear and paramagnetic spins, conduction electrons, and phonons. Decoherence comes both from the spins and the electrons, although electron effects…
The spin texture surrounding a non-magnetic impurity in a quantum antiferromagnet is a sensitive probe of the novel physics of a class of quantum phase transitions between a Neel ordered phase and a valence bond solid phase in square…
Macroscopic quantum coherence and spin-phase interference are studied between excited levels in single-domain ferromagnetic particles in a magnetic field along the hard anisotropy axis. The system has the general structure of…
The ordering temperature of a quasi-one-dimensional system, consisting of weakly interacting quantum spin-1/2 chains with antiferromagnetic spin-frustrating couplings (or zig-zag ladder) is calculated. The results show that a quantum…
We study the effects of quantum fluctuations and the excitation spectrum for the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on a two-dimensional quasicrystal, by numerically solving linear spin-wave theory on finite approximants of the octagonal…
We study the decoherence of a spin in a quantum dot due to its hyperfine coupling to a randomly fluctuating bath of nuclear spins. The system is modelled by the central spin model with the spin bath initially being at infinite temperature.…
We study the low-temperature properties of S=1 and 1/2 alternating spin chains with antiferromagnetic nearest-neighbor exchange couplings using analytical techniques as well as a quantum Monte Carlo method. The spin-wave approach predicts…
The quantum discord, which quantifies the amount of quantum correlations present between parts of a system, is investigated for antiferromagnetic spin systems. The discord for a pair of spins in the many-spin ground state is related to the…
In an effort to understand the low temperature behavior of recently synthesized molecular magnets we present numerical evidence for the existence of a rotational band in systems of quantum spins interacting with nearest-neighbor…
We identify the different contributions to quantum interference in a mesoscopic metallic loop in contact with two superconducting electrodes. At low temperature, a flux-modulated Josephson coupling is observed with strong damping over the…
In this study, we investigate the decoherence of a spatially superposed electrically neutral spin-$\frac12$ particle in the presence of a relativistic quantum electromagnetic field in Minkowski spacetime. We demonstrate that decoherence due…
In magnetic topological insulators, spontaneous time-reversal symmetry breaking by intrinsic magnetic order can gap the topological surface spectrum, resulting in exotic properties like axion electrodynamics, the quantum anomalous Hall…
The detailed theoretical understanding of quantum spin dynamics in various molecular magnets is an important step on the roadway to technological applications of these systems. Quantum effects in both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic…
We predict non-mesoscopic oscillations in the orbital magnetic moment of a thin semiconductor ring in the quantum Hall effect regime. These oscillations, which occur as a function of magnetic field because of a competition between…
Coherence, the stability of the relative phase between quantum states, lies at the heart of quantum mechanics. Applications such as precision measurement, interferometry, and quantum computation are enabled by physical systems that have…
The mechanisms of thermally activated magnetization switching in small ferromagnetic particles driven by an external magnetic field are investigated. For low uniaxial anisotropy the spins rotate coherently while for sufficiently large…
With the purpose to reveal consistency between multiple quantum (MQ) coherences and entanglement, we investigate numerically the dynamics of these phenomena in one-dimensional linear chains and ring of nuclear spins 1/2 coupled by dipole…
From inelastic neutron scattering experiments, we demonstrate quantum tunneling of the Neel vector in the antiferromagnetic molecular ferric wheel CsFe8. Analysis of the linewidth of the tunneling transition evidences coherent tunneling.
It was predicted that local spin polarization in a ring of five dipolar coupled spins should present a particular fingerprint of quantum interferences reflecting both the discrete and finite nature of the system [Phys. Rev. Lett. 75 (1995)…
Effects of randomness on the spin-1/2 and 1 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chains are studied using the quantum Monte Carlo method with the continuous-time loop algorithm. We precisely calculated the uniform susceptibility, string order…
