Quantum phase transitions in a 2-qubit system — •Henryk Gutmann1, Frank Wilhelm1, and Gergely Zaránd21Department für Physik and CeNS, LMU, 80333 München — 2Department of Theoretical Physics, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, H-1521 Budapest, Hungary

For describing local as well as common decoherence effects we investigate a setup of two coupled spins influenced by two local bosonic baths as well as a common one. Here we are interested to go beyond the usual weak coupling regime, as we want to focus on the transition from quantum mechanical behaviour to classical localization of the spins, as well as the emergence and disappearance of entanglement. We start with a quite generic two-spin generalization of the spin-boson model, i.e. where the environmentral influences, the spin interactions and the spin Hamiltonian do not commute with each other. In order to eliminate the environmental Hamiltonian terms we unitarily transfer the spin-boson Hamiltonian onto the anisotropic Kondo model, using a technique given in Ref.[1]. Therefrom we derive scaling equations in first order perturbation theory. Considering the corresponding fixed point Hamiltonian we receive first qualitative insights in the different dissipative phase regimes. To get more reliable results we present higher order scaling equations by applying operator product expansions on the generated products of the renormalized spin couplings.
