Quantum technologies face many challenges, often arising due to the unavoidable coupling of any system to its environment. Modelling of such open quantum systems requires parameters and the functional form of this coupling, which critically affects the system dynamics [1,2]. However, beyond relaxation rates, realistic parameters for specific environments or materials are rarely known.
Here [3] we present a method of inferring the coupling function between a generic system and its bosonic (e.g., phononic) environment from the experimentally measurable density of states (DOS). The DOS of the well-known Debye model for three-dimensional solids is shown to be equivalent to an Ohmic bath. We further match a real phonon DOS to a series of Lorentzian coupling functions, and determine parameters for gold, yttrium iron garnet (YIG) and iron. The results also illustrate the functional shape of memory kernels. The proposed method may predict more accurately the relaxation of spin systems that are damped by coupling to the crystal lattice.
