Systematic convergence in the dynamical hybrid approach for complex systems: A numerically exact methodology

H Wang, M Thoss, WH Miller - The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2001 - pubs.aip.org
An efficient method, the self-consistent hybrid method, is proposed for accurately simulating
time-dependent quantum dynamics in complex systems. The method is based on an …

Tunable coupling of superconducting qubits

A Blais, AM van den Brink, AM Zagoskin - Physical review letters, 2003 - APS
We study an LC circuit implemented using a current-biased Josephson junction (CBJJ) as a
tunable coupler for superconducting qubits. By modulating the bias current, the junction can …

Noise and decoherence in quantum two-level systems

A Shnirman, Y Makhlin, G Schön - Physica Scripta, 2002 - iopscience.iop.org
Motivated by recent experiments with Josephson-junction circuits we reconsider
decoherence effects in quantum two-level systems (TLS). On one hand, the experiments …

Dynamics of the spin-boson model with a structured environment

M Thorwart, E Paladino, M Grifoni - Chemical Physics, 2004 - Elsevier
We investigate the dynamics of the spin-boson model when the spectral density of the boson
bath shows a resonance at a characteristic frequency Ω but behaves Ohmically at small …
