Non-Markovian Dephasing and Flavor Coherence in a Three-Flavor Neutrino Qutrit
摘要
We describe three-flavor neutrino oscillations as the dynamics of a single qutrit coupled to a classical random telegraph noise (RTN) environment. The noise acts as pure dephasing in the mass basis, and the ratio between the switching rate and the coupling strength controls whether the pairwise coherence factors evolve monotonically or exhibit memory-induced revivals. Using a representative dimensionless parameter set, we derive the time-dependent dephasing functions and rates and propagate an initial electron-flavor state to obtain survival probabilities and flavor-basis coherence quantified by the
