Abstract

We investigate the entanglement dynamics of the bipartite quantum system between two qubits with the dissipative environment. We begin with the standard Markovian master equation in the Lindblad form and the initial state which is prepared in the extended Werner-like state: ρ Φ AB (0). We examine the conditions for entanglement sudden death (ESD) and calculate the corresponding ESD time by the Wootters concurrence. We observe that ESD is determined by the parameters such as the mean occupation number of the environment N , amount of initial entanglement α and the purity r . For N = 0, we get the analytical expressions of both ESD condition and ESD time. For N > 0 we give a theoretical analysis that ESD always occurs, and simulate the concurrence as a function of γ 0 t and one of the parameters N , α and r .

Entanglement for Two-Qubit Extended Werner-Like States: Effect of Non-Markovian Environments

Shan Chuan-Jia, Ji-Bing Liu, Tao Chen +4 more

We investigate the sudden birth and sudden death of entanglement of two qubits interacting with un-correlated structured reservoirs. The system is initially prepared in two-qubit extended Werner-like state. We work out the dependence of the entanglement dynamics on both non-Markovian environments and the purity of initial state, and show that non-Markovian environments and the purity can control the time of the two-qubit entanglement sudden death and the reservoirs' entanglement sudden birth. Furthermore, under the conditions of different purity and initial entanglement, the revival of qubits' entanglement can manifest before, simultaneously or even after the disentanglement of their corresponding reservoirs.

Relation between initial conditions and entanglement sudden death for two-qubit extended Werner-like states

Baiyuan Yang, Mao-Fa Fang, Jiang Huang

In this paper, the dynamical behavior of entanglement of an uncoupled two-qubit system, which interacts with independent identical amplitude damping environments and is initially prepared in the extended Werner-like (EWL) states, is investigated. The results show that whether entanglement sudden death (ESD) of an EWL state will occur or not depends on initial purity and concurrence. The boundaries between ESD states and ESD-free states for two kinds of EWL states are found to be different. Furthermore, some regions are shown where ESD states can be transformed into ESD-free states by local unitary operations.

Sudden birth versus sudden death of entanglement for the extended Werner-like state in a dissipative environment

Shan Chuan-Jia, Tao Chen, Ji-Bing Liu +4 more

In this paper, we investigate the dynamical behaviour of entanglement in terms of concurrence in a bipartite system subjected to an external magnetic field under the action of dissipative environments in the extended Werner-like initial state. The interesting phenomenon of entanglement sudden death as well as sudden birth appears during the evolution process. We analyse in detail the effect of the purity of the initial entangled state of two qubits via Heisenberg XY interaction on the apparition time of entanglement sudden death and entanglement sudden birth. Furthermore, the conditions on the conversion of entanglement sudden death and entanglement sudden birth can be generalized when the initial entangled state is not pure. In particular, a critical purity of the initial mixed entangled state exists, above which entanglement sudden birth vanishes while entanglement sudden death appears. It is also noticed that stable entanglement, which is independent of different initial states of the qubits (pure or mixed state), occurs even in the presence of decoherence. These results arising from the combination of the extended Werner-like initial state and dissipative environments suggest an approach to control and enhance the entanglement even after purity induced sudden birth, death and revival.

Entanglement dynamics of a pure bipartite system in dissipative environments

Rabia Tahira, Manzoor Ikram, Tasnim Azim +1 more

We investigate the phenomenon of sudden death of entanglement in a bipartite system subjected to dissipative environments with arbitrary initial pure entangled state between two atoms. We find that in a vacuum reservoir the presence of the state where both atoms are in excited states is a necessary condition for the sudden death of entanglement. Otherwise entanglement remains for an infinite time and decays asymptotically with the decay of individual qubits. For pure 2-qubit entangled states in a thermal environment, we observe that the sudden death of entanglement always happens. The sudden death time of the entangled states is related to the temperature of the reservoir and the initial preparation of the entangled states.

Entanglement Dynamics of the Bipartite System in Common Reservoir

Xiangyang Yu, Jianhong Li

Within the framework of semi-classical theory of light and matter, we investigate the entanglement dynamics of the bipartite system consisting of two identical and interacting two-level atoms by means of concurrence, which are coupled to the common reservoir and driven by external time-dependent laser field. Numerical results reveal that for these initially entangled states, the bipartite system undergoes entanglement sudden death (ESD) and birth (ESB), and stable entanglement always occur irrespective of dissipation. Besides, the coupling strength of the electric dipole-dipole will have remarkable effects on the entanglement dynamics, like accelerating the ESD and ESB. However, these conclusions are not applicable to other initially entangled states.

Non-linearity arising from Lindblad dynamics : A non-linear approach to bipartite qubit entanglement dynamics

Melker Fälting

This report investigates entanglement dynamics in a bipartite qubit system subject to local amplitude damping. A non-linear, trace-preserving master equation is derived from the Lindblad formalism using the Brody-Graefe approach to non-Hermitian quantum mechanics. For a class of mixed initial states, an analytical solution is obtained, allowing for a proof of entanglement sudden death (ESD) in the non-linear model. The predictions of the non-linear model are compared to those of the standard Lindblad formalism. While both models exhibit ESD, the non-linear approach predicts disentanglement over a broader range of initial conditions. This suggests that non-linear dynamics offer an enhanced description of entanglement loss in open quantum systems.
