利用热边界条件设计块体磁体的量子态

Using thermal boundary conditions to engineer the quantum state of a bulk magnet

M. A. Schmidt, D. M. Silevitch, G. Aeppli, T. F. Rosenbaum

摘要:

一个系统与外界环境的接触程度可以显著地改变它对量子力学弛豫模式的倾向。我们表明,控制立方厘米大小的晶体的伊辛磁体$LiHo_xY_{1-x}F_4$的热浴的热耦合,可以用来调整系统之间的玻璃态为主的热激发能量障碍和状态的特点的量子自旋液体。横向于伊辛轴的磁场的应用引入随机磁场和量子波动两者,其可以分别延迟和加速退火过程,从而提供用于在目的状态之间连续调谐的机制。系统的非线性响应明确地表明了内部和外部弛豫路径之间的量子干涉。

英文摘要:

The degree of contact between a system and the external environment can alter dramatically its proclivity to quantum mechanical modes of relaxation. We show that controlling the thermal coupling of cubic centimeter-sized crystals of the Ising magnet $LiHo_xY_{1-x}F_4$ to a heat bath can be used to tune the system between a glassy state dominated by thermal excitations over energy barriers and a state with the hallmarks of a quantum spin liquid. Application of a magnetic field transverse to the Ising axis introduces both random magnetic fields and quantum fluctuations, which can retard and speed the annealing process, respectively, thereby providing a mechanism for continuous tuning between the destination states. The non-linear response of the system explicitly demonstrates quantum interference between internal and external relaxation pathways.
