Quantum Phase Transition in the Sub-Ohmic Spin-Boson Model: Extended Coherent-state Approach

الأصل · EN

We propose a general extended coherent state approach to the qubit (or fermion) and multi-mode boson coupling systems. The application to the spin-boson model with the discretization of a bosonic bath with arbitrary continuous spectral density is described in detail, and very accurate solutions can be obtained. The quantum phase transition in the nontrivial sub-Ohmic case can be located by the fidelity and the order-parameter critical exponents for the bath exponents s<1/2 can be correctly given by the fidelity susceptibility, demonstrating the strength of the approach.
