Abstract

We investigate the process of entanglement transfer from a three-mode quantized field to a system of three spatially separated qubits, each one made of a two-level atom resonantly coupled to a cavity mode. The optimal conditions for entanglement transfer, evaluated by atomic tripartite negativity, are derived for radiation prepared in qubitlike and Gaussian entangled states in terms of field parameters, atom-cavity interaction time, cavity mirror losses, and atomic preparation. For qubitlike states we find that for negligible cavity losses some states may completely transfer their entanglement to the atoms and/or be exactly mapped to the atomic state, whereas for Gaussian states we find a range of field parameters needed to obtain a large entanglement transfer. The purity of the three-qubit states and the entanglement of two-qubit subsystems are also discussed in some detail.

Tripartite quantum state mapping and discontinuous entanglement transfer in a cavity QED open system

M Bina, F Casagrande, Marco G. Genoni +2 more

We describe the transfer of quantum information and entanglement from three flying (radiation) to three localized (atomic) qubits via cavity modes resonantly coupled to the atoms, in the presence of a common reservoir. Upon addressing the full dynamics of the resulting nine-qubit open system, we find that once the cavities are fed, fidelity and transferred entanglement are optimal, while their peak values exponentially decrease due to dissipative processes. The external radiation is then turned off and quantum correlations oscillate between atomic and cavity qubits. For a class of mixtures of W and GHZ input states we deal with a discontinuous exchange of entanglement among the subsystems, facing the still open problem of entanglement sudden death and birth in a multipartite system.

Dynamical description of state mapping and discontinuous entanglement transfer for tripartite systems

Matteo Bina, Federico Casagrande, Marco G. Genoni +2 more

We describe the transfer of quantum information and correlations from an entangled tripartite bosonic system to three localized qubits also in the presence of various dissipative effects. Optimal state mapping and entanglement transfer are shown in the framework of optical cavity quantum electrodynamics involving qubit-like radiation states and two-level atoms via the mediation of cavity modes. For an input GHZ state mixed with white noise we show the occurrence of sudden death and birth of tripartite entanglement, that is discontinuously exchanged among the subsystems. Each subsystem can exhibit, in different time intervals, tripartite entanglement of both GHZ and W class.

Entanglement transfer between bipartite systems

Smail B. Bougouffa, Z. Ficek

The problem of a controlled transfer of an entanglement initially encoded into two two-level atoms that are successively sent through two single-mode cavities is investigated. The atoms and the cavity modes form a four-qubit system and we demonstrate the conditions under which the initial entanglement encoded into the atoms can be completely transferred to other pairs of qubits. We find that in the case of non-zero detuning between the atomic transition frequencies and the cavity mode frequencies, no complete transfer of the initial entanglement is possible to any of the other pairs of qubits. In the case of exact resonance and equal coupling strengths of the atoms to the cavity modes, an initial maximally entangled state of the atoms can be completely transferred to the cavity modes. Complete transfer of the entanglement is restricted to the cavity modes, with transfer to the other pairs being limited to 50%. We find that complete transfer of an initial entanglement to other pairs of qubits may take place if the initial state is not the maximally entangled state and the atoms couple to the cavity modes with unequal strengths. Depending on the ratio between the coupling strengths, optimal entanglement can be created between the atoms and one of the cavity modes.

Atoms versus photons as carriers of quantum states

Smail B. Bougouffa, Z. Ficek

The problem of the complete transfer of quantum states and entanglement in a four-qubit system composed of two single-mode cavities and two two-level atoms is investigated. The transfer of single and double excitation states is discussed for two different coupling configurations between the qubits. In the first, the coupling is mediated by the atoms that simultaneously couple to the cavity modes. In the second configuration, each atom resides inside one of the cavities and the coupling between the cavities is mediated by the overlapping field modes. A proper choice of basis states makes it possible to identify states that could be completely transferred between themselves. Simple expressions are derived for the conditions for the complete transfer of quantum states and entanglement. These conditions impose severe constraints on the evolution of the system in the form of constants of motion. The constrains on the evolution of the system imply that not all states can evolve in time, and we find that the evolution of the entire system can be confined into that occurring among two states only. Detailed analysis show that in the case where the interaction is mediated by the atoms, only symmetric superposition states can be completely and reversibly transferred between the atoms and the cavity modes. In the case where the interaction is mediated by the overlapping field modes, both symmetric and antisymmetric superposition states can be completely transferred. We also show that the system is capable of generating purely photonic NOON states, but only if the coupling is mediated by the atoms, and demonstrate that the ability to generate the NOON states relies on perfect transfer of an entanglement from the atoms to the cavity modes.

ENTANGLEMENT TRANSFER IN A MULTIPARTITE CAVITY QED OPEN SYSTEM

Matteo Bina, Federico Casagrande, ALFREDO LULLI +2 more

We describe the dynamics of tripartite state mapping and entanglement transfer from qubit-like radiation states to two-level atoms via optical cavity modes. When the entangled radiation is carried to the cavities by single-mode fibers, optimal pure and mixed state transfer is predicted for perfect mirror transmittance, and entanglement sudden death (and birth) is demonstrated for Werner input states. The general case of multi-mode fiber coupling is also discussed. The dynamics is finally investigated under various dissipative effects.

Entanglement transfer from continuous variables to qubits

W. SON, M. S. KIM, JINHYOUNG LEE +1 more

We show that two qubits can be entangled by local interactions with an entangled two-mode continuous variable state. This is illustrated by the evolution of two two-level atoms interacting with a two-mode squeezed state. Two modes of the squeezed field are injected respectively into two spatially separate cavities and the atoms are then sent into the cavities to interact resonantly with the cavity field. We find that the atoms may be entangled even by a two-mode squeezed state which has been decohered while penetrating into the cavity.
