Stationary entanglement achievable by environment-induced chain links

Published Apr 22, 2011• 38 citations

Abstract

We investigate the possibility of chaining qubits by letting pairs of nearest-neighbor qubits dissipate into common environments. We then study entanglement dynamics within the chain and show that steady-state entanglement can be achieved.

Entanglement dynamics for qubits dissipating into a common environment

Laleh Memarzadeh, Stefano Mancini

We provide an analytical investigation of the entanglement dynamics for a system composed of an arbitrary number of qubits dissipating into a common environment. Specifically, we consider product initial states with a given number of excitations whose evolution remains confined on low-dimensional subspaces of the operators space. We then find for which pairs of qubits entanglement can be generated and can persist at a steady state. Finally, we determine the stationary distribution of entanglement as well as its scaling versus the total number of qubits in the system.

Entangled Chains

William K. Wootters

Consider an infinite collection of qubits arranged in a line, such that every pair of nearest neighbors is entangled: an "entangled chain." In this paper we consider entangled chains with translational invariance and ask how large one can make the nearest neighbor entanglement. We find that it is possible to achieve an entanglement of formation equal to 0.285 ebits between each pair of nearest neighbors, and that this is the best one can do under certain assumptions about the state of the chain.

Entanglement from dissipative dynamics into overlapping environments

Riccardo Mengoni, Laleh Memarzadeh, Stefano Mancini

We consider two ensembles of qubits dissipating into two overlapping environments, that is, with a certain number of qubits in common that dissipate into both environments. We then study the dynamics of bipartite entanglement between the two ensembles by excluding the common qubits. To get analytical solutions for an arbitrary number of qubits we consider initial states with a single excitation and show that the largest amount of entanglement can be created when excitations are initially located among side (noncommon) qubits. Moreover, the stationary entanglement exhibits a monotonic (nonmonotonic) scaling versus the number of common (side) qubits.

Dynamics of entanglement in realistic chains of superconducting qubits

Dimitris I. Tsomokos, Michael J. Hartmann, Susana F. Huelga +1 more

The quantum dynamics of chains of superconducting qubits is analyzed under realistic experimental conditions. Electromagnetic fluctuations due to the background circuitry, finite temperature in the external environment, and disorder in the initial preparation and the control parameters are taken into account. It is shown that the amount of disorder that is typically present in current experiments does not affect the entanglement dynamics significantly. However, the effect of the environmental noise can modify entanglement generation and propagation across the chain. We study the persistence of coherent effects in the presence of noise and possible ways to efficiently detect the presence of quantum entanglement. We also discuss under which circumstances the system exhibits steady state entanglement for both short (N<10) and long (N>30) chains and show that there are parameter regimes where the steady state entanglement is strictly non-monotonic as a function of the noise strength. We present optimized schemes for entanglement verification and quantification based on simple correlation measurements that are experimentally more economic than state tomography.

Entanglement dynamics in chains of qubits with noise and disorder

Dimitris I. Tsomokos, Michael J. Hartmann, Susana F. Huelga +1 more

The entanglement dynamics of arrays of qubits is analysed in the presence of some general sources of noise and disorder. In particular, we consider linear chains of Josephson qubits in experimentally realistic conditions. Electromagnetic and other (spin or boson) fluctuations due to the background circuitry and surrounding substrate, finite temperature in the external environment, and disorder in the initial preparation and the control parameters are embedded into our model. We show that the amount of disorder that is typically present in current experiments does not affect the entanglement dynamics significantly, while the presence of noise can have a drastic influence on the generation and propagation of entanglement. We examine under which circumstances the system exhibits steady-state entanglement for both short (N < 10) and long (N > 30) chains and show that, remarkably, there are parameter regimes where the steady-state entanglement is strictly non-monotonic as a function of the noise strength. We also present optimized schemes for entanglement verification and quantification based on simple correlation measurements that are experimentally more economic than state tomography.

Dissipation-assisted quantum correlations in coupled qubits

Chaitanya Joshi

We theoretically investigate a possibility to establish multi-qubit quantum correlations in one-dimensional chains of qubits. We combine a reservoir engineering strategy with coherent dynamics to generate multi-qubit entangled states. We find that an interplay between the coherent and incoherent dynamics result in the generation of stable (time-independent) many-body entangled steady states. Our results will be relevant in the context of the dissipative generation of quantum states, with applications in short-distance quantum computation and for exploring the emergence of collective phenomena in many-body open quantum systems.
