Generation of entanglement density within a reservoir

Abstract

We study a single two-level atom interacting with a reservoir of modes defined by its reservoir structure function. Within this framework we are able to define a density of entanglement involving a continuum of reservoir modes. The density of entanglement is derived for a system with a single excitation by taking a limit of the global entanglement. Utilizing the density of entanglement we quantify the entanglement between the atom and the modes, and also between the reservoir modes themselves.

Entanglement trapping in a nonstationary structured reservoir

Constantinos Lazarou, Kimmo Luoma, Sabrina Maniscalco +2 more

We study a single two-level atom interacting with a reservoir of modes defined by a reservoir structure function with a frequency gap. Using the pseudomodes technique, we derive the main features of a trapping state formed in the weak coupling regime. Utilizing different entanglement measures we show that strong correlations and entanglement between the atom and the modes are in existence when this state is formed. Furthermore, an unexpected feature for the reservoir is revealed. In the long time limit and for weak coupling the reservoir spectrum is not constant in time.

Entanglement generation by a dispersive vacuum

Luis Roa, R. Pozo-González, Marius Schaefer +1 more

We study how the entanglement between two atoms can be created or modified even when they do not interact but when each of them interacts dispersively, i.e., weak and far from the resonance, with a single mode of the field. In particular, we study two cases: First we consider each atom to be initially in a pure state and secondly we assume that they start in a Werner state. Analytically we find that both atoms can, periodically, reach maximum entanglement if each of them starts in any state belonging to the Bloch sphere equator, independent of the initial Fock state of the mode. Thus, in particular, we find that a dispersive vacuum mode can generate entanglement between two two-level atoms. In the second case, when the field mode is initially in a coherent or thermal state we find that, in the high energy limit, in general there is no entanglement between the two atoms. However, at well defined moments, the initial entanglement appears and disappears suddenly, becoming a narrow entanglement-beats structure.

Non-Markovian dynamics of entanglement for multipartite systems

Jiang Zhou, Chengjun Wu, Mingyi Zhu +1 more

Entanglement dynamics for a couple of two-level atoms interacting with independent structured reservoirs is studied using a non-perturbative approach. It is shown that the revival of atom entanglement is not necessarily accompanied by the sudden death of reservoir entanglement, and vice versa. In fact, atom entanglement can revive before, simultaneously or even after the disentanglement of reservoirs. Using a novel method based on the population analysis for the excited atomic state, we present the quantitative criteria for the revival and death phenomena. To give a more physically intuitive insight, the quasimode Hamiltonian method is applied. Our quantitative analysis is helpful for the practical engineering of entanglement.

Continuous-variable-entanglement dynamics in structured reservoirs

Ruggero Vasile, Stefano Olivares, Matteo G. A. Paris +1 more

We address the evolution of entanglement in bimodal continuous variable quantum systems interacting with two independent structured reservoirs. We derive an analytic expression for the entanglement of formation without performing the Markov and the secular approximations and study in details the entanglement dynamics for various types of structured reservoirs and for different reservoir temperatures, assuming the two modes initially excited in a twin-beam state. Our analytic solution allows us to identify three dynamical regimes characterized by different behaviors of the entanglement: the entanglement sudden death, the non-Markovian revival and the non-secular revival regimes. Remarkably, we find that, contrarily to the Markovian case, the short-time system-reservoir correlations in some cases destroy quickly the initial entanglement even at zero temperature.
