We study the effects of dissipation on a randomly dilute transverse-field Ising magnet at and close to the percolation threshold. For weak transverse fields, a novel percolation quantum phase transition separates a super-paramagnetic cluster phase from an inhomogeneously ordered ferromagnetic phase.
Dissipation and decoherence are reviewed for quantum magnets, in which quantum fluctuations render a semi-classical picture incorrect. This is done for 3 examples in detail. First, the tunneling of magnetic domain walls is considered-this is a typical quantum soliton problem, with dissipation being
We study dissipative tunneling of a single electron in a four-well semiconductor nanostructure threaded by a magnetic flux. The system under consideration allows us to investigate an influence of dissipation and irreversibility on two fundamental quantum-interference phenomena: tunneling and the Aha
