Experimental investigation of the non-Markovian dynamics of classical and quantum correlations

Jin‐Shi Xu, Chuan‐Feng Li, Chengjie Zhang +3 more

We experimentally investigate the dynamics of classical and quantum correlations of a Bell diagonal state in a non-Markovian dephasing environment. The sudden transition from a classical to a quantum decoherence regime is observed during the dynamics of a Bell diagonal state. Due to the refocusing effect of the overall relative phase, the quantum correlation revives from near zero and then decays again in the subsequent evolution. However, the non-Markovian effect is too weak to revive the classical correlation, which remains constant in the same evolution range. With the implementation of an optical ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{x}$ operation, the sudden transition from a quantum to a classical revival regime is obtained, and correlation echoes are formed. Our method can be used to control the revival time of correlations, which would be important in quantum memory.

Investigation of quantum and classical correlations in a quantum dot system under decoherence

K. Berrada

In this paper, we investigate quantitatively the thermal classical and quantum correlations in an isolated quantum dot system (QDS) including the effects of different parameters. We show that the quantum discord (QD) is more resistant against the temperature effect and might be finite even for higher temperatures in the asymptotic limit. Decoherence in a QDS caused by interaction with its environment is another interesting issue in the quantum information field. Assuming Markovian dynamics for the time evolution, we present noise models for the QDS by using Kraus operators for several noisy channels; in particular bit flip, bit-phase flip, phase flip, and depolarizing channels. By analytical and numerical analyses, we investigate the dynamics of different kinds of correlations, namely, the mutual information, the classical correlation, the entanglement of formation (EOF), and the QD in different channels. The sudden change in behavior in the decay rates of correlations and their immunity against certain decoherences are shown. We explore a symmetry among these channels and provide the decoherence areas for which both classical and quantum correlations remain affected in the QDS.

Quantifying Decoherence via Increases in Classicality

Shuangshuang Fu, Shunlong Luo

As a direct consequence of the interplay between the superposition principle of quantum mechanics and the dynamics of open systems, decoherence is a recurring theme in both foundational and experimental exploration of the quantum realm. Decoherence is intimately related to information leakage of open systems and is usually formulated in the setup of "system + environment" as information acquisition of the environment (observer) from the system. As such, it has been mainly characterized via correlations (e.g., quantum mutual information, discord, and entanglement). Decoherence combined with redundant proliferation of the system information to multiple fragments of environment yields the scenario of quantum Darwinism, which is now a widely recognized framework for addressing the quantum-to-classical transition: the emergence of the apparent classical reality from the enigmatic quantum substrate. Despite the half-century development of the notion of decoherence, there are still many aspects awaiting investigations. In this work, we introduce two quantifiers of classicality via the Jordan product and uncertainty, respectively, and then employ them to quantify decoherence from an information-theoretic perspective. As a comparison, we also study the influence of the system on the environment.
