Phase diagram of the quantum dissipative rotor model with two competing baths — •Dominik Maile1, Sabine Andergassen1, Wolfgang Belzig2, and Gianluca Rastelli21Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen, D-72074 Tübingen, Germany — 2Universität Konstanz, D-78457 Konstanz, Germany

We study a quantum dissipative rotor model in which each local phase-difference and each local momentum are uniformly coupled to two different baths. Such systems can represent e.g. a chain of resistively shunted Josephson junctions [1], capacitively coupled to a diffusive metal [2]. The first dissipative coupling quenches the quantum phase fluctuations favoring the long-range phase order (i.e. superconducting ground state) whereas the second one quenches momentum fluctuations destroying phase coherence (insulating ground state).

Using the Self-Consistent Harmonic Approximation [1], we calculate the zero-temperature phase diagram as determined by the two dissipative coupling constants and the bare zero point fluctuations. As an effect of the quantum frustration for the two canonical conjugate observables [3], we obtain an interesting phase diagram with a non-monotonic behavior: for instance, the ground state can pass from superconducting to insulating phase and back to superconducting phase by increasing the dissipation.
