The separation of a heavy quark and antiquark pair leads to the formation o
f a tube of flux, or "string," which should break in the presence of light
quark-antiquark pairs. This expected zero-temperature phenomenon has proven
elusive in simulations of lattice QCD. We study mixing between the string
state and the two-meson decay channel in QCD with two flavors of dynamical
sea quarks. We confirm that mixing is weak and find that it decreases at le
vel crossing. While our study does not show direct effects of internal quar
k loops, our results, combined with unitarity, give a clear confirmation of
string breaking.
