Two-level dynamics in presence of a band-gapped material — •Martin Pietsch, Denis Kast, and Joachim Ankerhold — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Ulm, Albert-Einstein-Allee 11, 89069 Ulm

We studied the dynamics of a single spin that interacts with a bosonic broadband reservoir (spin boson model). The spectrum is Ohmic, but with a gap near a certain frequency. Our numerically exact Path Integral Monte Carlo simulations, including recent extensions [1,2], reveal that the spectral hole imprints its frequency onto the dynamics, thereby prohibiting the fixation of a well-defined coherent-incoherent transition point for increasing system-reservoir coupling. This investigation is motivated by impressive progress in designing photonic bandgap materials during the last years.
