Abstract

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.

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.

Entanglement Dynamics of Two Qubits Coupled Independently to Cavities in the Ultrastrong Coupling Regime: Analytical Results

Wei-Ting Zhu, Qing-Bao Ren, Liwei Duan +1 more

Dynamics of quantum entanglement of two qubits in two identical quantum Rabi models is studied analytically in the framework of corrections to the rotating-wave approximations. A closed-form expression for the entanglement dynamics initiated from the well-known Bell states is derived, which is very close to the numerical exact results up to the ultrastrong coupling regime. It is found that the vanishing entanglement can be purely induced by the counter-rotating terms, and can be enhanced with the atom–cavity coupling.

Concurrence evolution of two qubits coupled with one-mode cavity separately

Weici Liu, Wang Fa-Qiang, Ruisheng Liang

The concurrence evolution of two qubits coupled with one-mode cavity separately is investigated exactly without adopting the rotating-wave approximation. The results show that for the resonant case, the concurrence evolution behaviour of the system is similar to that of the Markovian case when the coupling strength is weak, while the concurrence vanishes in a finite time and might revive fractional initial entanglement before it permanently vanishes when the coupling strength is strong. And for the detuning case, the entanglement could periodically recover after complete disentanglement. These results are quite different from those of system subjected to Jaynes–Cummings model.

Decoherence of two qubits in non-Markovian reservoirs without the rotating-wave approximation

Wang Fa-Qiang, Zhi‐Ming Zhang, Ruisheng Liang

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.

Breakdown of the rotating-wave approximation in the description of entanglement of spin-anticorrelated states

Jun Jing, Zhiguo Lü, Z. Ficek

It is well established that an entanglement encoded in the Bell states of a two-qubit system with correlated spins exhibits completely different evolution properties from that encoded in states with the anticorrelated spins. A complete and abrupt loss of the entanglement, called the entanglement sudden death, can be found to occur for the spin-correlated states, but the entanglement evolves without any discontinuity or decays asymptotically for the spin-anticorrelated states. We consider the evolution of an initial entanglement encoded in the spin-anticorrelated states and demonstrate that the asymptotic behavior predicted before occurs only in the weak-coupling limit or equivalently when the rotating-wave approximation (RWA) is made on the interaction Hamiltonian of the qubits with the field. If we do not restrict ourselves to the RWA, we find that the entanglement undergoes a discontinuity, the sudden-death phenomenon. We illustrate this behavior by employing an efficient scheme for entanglement evolution between two cold-trapped atoms located inside a single-mode cavity. Although only a single excitation is initially present in the system, we find that the two-photon excited state, which plays the key role for the discontinuity in the behavior of the entanglement, gains a population over a short time of the evolution. When the RWA is made on the interaction, the two-photon excited state remains unpopulated for all times and the discontinuity is absent. We attribute this phenomenon to the principle of complementarity between the evolution time and energy, and the presence of the counter-rotating terms in the interaction Hamiltonian.

Controlling entanglement of two qubits by quantum-jump-based feedback beyond rotating-wave approximation

Qing Yang, Hui Liu, Xiu-Lan Zhen +2 more

The entanglement dynamics of two identical atoms 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 spontaneous emission under the quantum-jump-based feedback control is investigated beyond the conventional rotating-wave approximation (RWA). The research of entanglement evolution beyond RWA is a significant problem because of its importance to the field of strong coupling. The result of numerical simulations shows that an appropriate feedback control can prolong the entanglement time and increase the entanglement amplitude. The effect of synchronous control on two atoms is superior to that of one control.
