Abstract

The decoherence of two initially entangled qubits in non-Markovian reservoirs has been investigated exactly without Born-Markovian approximation or rotating-wave approximation (RWA). The nonperturbative quantum master equation is derived and its exact solution is obtained. The decoherence behavior of two qubits, initially entangled in Bell states, has been investigated in the weak coupling regime and strong coupling regime. The results show that the counter-rotating wave terms have obvious influence on the decoherence behavior in the non-Markovian regime.

Entanglement Evolution of a Two-Qubit System beyond Rotating-Wave Approximation

Yang Qing, Yang Ming, Cao Zhuo-Liang

Two noninteracting qubits, initially entangled in Bell states, are coupled to a one-mode cavity and evolve under its influence. The entanglement evolution of the two qubits is investigated beyond the rotating-wave approximation. It is shown that the counter-rotating wave terms have a great influence on the disentanglement behavior.

Decoherence of two qubits coupled with one-mode cavity without rotating-wave approximation

Wang Fa-Qiang, Weici Liu, Ruisheng Liang

The decoherence of two qubits, coupled with one-mode cavity separately, has been investigated exactly. The results show that, for the resonant case, the decoherence behavior of system is similar to Markovian case when the coupling strength is weak, while the concurrence vanishes in finite time and might recover fractional initial entanglement before it permanently vanishes when the coupling strength is strong. And for detuning case, the entanglement could periodically recover after a period of time from its disappearance. These results are quite different from that of system subjected to Jaynes-Cummings model.

Entanglement evolution of a two-qubit system with decay beyond the rotating-wave approximation

杨青, Yang Ming, 李大创 +1 more

The entanglement property of two identical atoms, initially entangled in Bell states, coupled to a single-mode cavity is considered. Based on the reduced non-perturbative quantum master equation method, the entanglement evolution of the two atoms with decay is investigated beyond the conventional rotating-wave approximation. We show that the counter-rotating wave terms, usually neglected, have a great influence on the disentanglement behaviour of the system. The phenomena of entanglement sudden death and entanglement sudden birth will occur. In addition, we show that the entanglement can be strengthened by introducing the dipole-dipole interaction of the two atoms.

Non-Markovian thermalization of entangled qubits

I. Glendinning, Matthias Jakob, Michael Noelle

We study the decoherence properties of an entangled bipartite qubit system, represented by two two-level atoms that are individually coupled to non-Markovian reservoirs. This coupling ensures that the dynamical equations of the atoms can be treated independently. The non-Markovian reservoirs are described by a model which leads to an exact non-Markovian master equation of the Nakajima-Zwanzig form [J. Salo, S. M. Barnett, and S. Stenholm, Optics Commun. 259, 772 (2006)]. We consider the evolution of the entanglement of a two-atom state that is initially completely entangled, quantified by its concurrence. Collapses and revivals in the concurrence, induced by the memory effects of the reservoir, govern the dynamics of the entangled quantum system. These collapses and revivals in the concurrence are a strong manifestation of the non-Markovian reservoir.

Quantum interferometric power and non-Markovianity in the decoherence channels

Shao-Jie Xiong, Zhe Sun, Xiaoguang Wang

In quantum open systems, non-Markovianity is an important phenomenon that allows a backflow of information from the environment to the system. In this work, we investigate the non-Markovianity problems in two different types of channels, where the system–environment interactions are treated with and without the rotating-wave approximation (RWA). We employ the quantum interferometric power (QIP) to quantify the non-Markovian dynamics, which is the minimal quantum Fisher information obtained by the local unitary evolution in a bipartite system. By the hierarchy equation method, we calculate the dynamical evolution of the QIP in the non-RWA case. The results show that the dynamical behavior under the non-RWA is significantly different from that under the RWA in both weak and strong coupling. Moreover, in the non-RWA case, we also find the nonmonotonic behavior of the non-Markovianity measure with the variation of coupling strength, which is caused by the competition between the rotating-wave terms and the counterrotating-wave terms. As a result, we highlight the importance of the counterrotating-wave terms for the influence of non-Markovianity.

Exact non-Markovian dynamics of qubits coupled to two interacting environments

H. Z. Shen, Dongxiao Li, Shi‐Lei Su +2 more

As the memory effect may be helpful in quantum information processing, non-Markovian dynamics plays an important role in the description of many-body open systems. Among these topics, the system consisting of independent qubits interacting with several coupled environments is of particular interest. In this paper, we study the exact non-Markovian dynamics of two independent qubits. Each of the qubits interacts individually with its environment, and these two environments coupled with each other. We investigate the non-Markovianity measure of the system for the whole parameter regime without the rotating-wave approximation (RWA) and compare the results with that under the RWA. We find that the non-Markovianity measure for two qubits manifests a transition from a non-Markovian to Markovian regime regardless of the coupling strength between the environments. The physical origin of this transition is revealed, and a possible observation of the prediction in superconducting quantum interference devices is discussed.
