Sensitive chemical compass and quantum criticality at finite temperature

Description

We investigate the influence of a flip operation of the central spin on the quantum criticality of a radical pair system by employing the spin echo and its product yield. It is found that with echo control on the central spin, the critical behavior can be described by the product yield at very high temperatures. Moreover, we also study the short and long time behavior of the spin echo, and show that the decay factor of the short time evolution scales linearly. The long time evolution shows different statistics for varying chain lengths, temperature and external parameters of the Hamiltonian.
