Erratum: Doublon lifetimes in dissipative environments [Phys. Rev. B 96, 045408 (2017)]

Figure 3

Temperature dependence of the numerically obtained decay rate for a chain with $N=5$ and periodic boundary conditions in the presence of charge noise. The interaction energy is set to $U=10J$. For values of the coupling strength $\alpha \lesssim 0.04$, we obtain approximately the same curve (continuous line). (The inset) Values for $\mathrm{\Gamma }$ on a logarithmic scale demonstrating the proportionality $\propto 1/\alpha T$.

Figure 4

Comparison between the numerically computed decay rate and the analytic formulas (17) and (18) for a chain with $N=5$ sites and periodic boundary conditions in the case of charge noise. The dissipation strength is $\alpha =0.02$. (a) Dependence on the interaction strength for a fixed temperature $k_{B}T=20J$. (b) Dependence on the temperature for a fixed interaction strength $U=20J$.

Figure 5

Average decay rate of the doublon states under the influence of current noise for various dissipation strengths as a function of the temperature. The chain consists of $N=5$ sites with periodic boundary conditions, whereas the interaction is $U=10J$.

Figure 6

Numerically obtained decay rate in comparison with the approximations (20)–(22) for a chain with $N=5$ sites and periodic boundary conditions in the case of current noise with strength $\alpha =0.02$. The results are plotted as a function of (a) the interaction and the temperature $k_{B}T=20J$ and (b) for a fixed interaction $U=20J$ as a function of the temperature.
