Abstract

The entanglement evolution of two qubits under local, single-, and two-sided noisy channels is investigated. It is found that for all pure initial states, the entanglement under a one-sided noisy channel is completely determined by the maximal trace distance which is the main element to construct the measure of non-Markovianity. For the two-sided noisy channel case, when the qubits are initially prepared in a general class of states, either pure or mixed, the entanglement can be expressed as the product of the initial entanglement and the channels' action on the maximally entangled state.

Entanglement dynamics of three-qubit states in local many-sided noisy channels

Michael Siomau

We study entanglement dynamics of pure three-qubit Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger-type entangled states when one, two or three qubits are subjected to general local noise. Employing a lower bound for three-qubit concurrence as an entanglement measure, we show that for some many-sided noisy channels the entanglement dynamics can be completely described by the evolution of the entangled states in single-sided channels.

Evolution equation of entanglement for bipartite systems

Zong-Guo Li, Shao-Ming Fei, Z. D. Wang +1 more

We explore how entanglement of a bipartite system evolves when one subsystem undergoes the action of an arbitrary noisy channel. It is found that the dynamics of entanglement of such system is determined by the channel's action on the maximally entangled state, which includes as a special case the results for two-qubit systems [Konrad et al., Nat. Phys. 4, 99 (2008)]. In particular, for multiqubit or qubit-qudit systems, we get a general factorization law for the evolution equation of entanglement, with one qubit being subject to a noisy channel.

Statistical portrait of the entanglement decay of two-qubit memories

K. M. Fonseca-Romero, Julián Martínez-Rincón, Carlos Viviescas

We present an approach to the study of entanglement decay which focuses on collective properties. As an example, we investigate the entanglement decay of a two-qubit system produced by local identical reservoirs acting on the qubits for three experimentally and theoretically relevant cases. We study the probability distributions of disentanglement times, a quantity independent of the measure used to quantify entanglement, and the time-dependent probability distribution of concurrence. Analytical results are obtained for initially uniformly distributed pure states. The calculation of these probability distributions gives a complete insight into how different decoherence channels affect the entanglement initially contained in the set of two-qubit pure states. Numerical results are reported for randomly distributed initial mixed states. Although the paper focuses in Markovian noisy channels, we show that our results also describe nonautonomous and non-Markovian channels.

Entanglement dynamics in the presence of controlled unital noise

A. Shaham, A. Halevy, L. Dovrat +2 more

Quantum entanglement is notorious for being a very fragile resource. Significant efforts have been put into the study of entanglement degradation in the presence of a realistic noisy environment. Here, we present a theoretical and an experimental study of the decoherence properties of entangled pairs of qubits. The entanglement dynamics of maximally entangled qubit pairs is shown to be related in a simple way to the noise representation in the Bloch sphere picture. We derive the entanglement level in the case when both qubits of a Bell state are transmitted through any arbitrary unital Pauli channel, and compare it to the case when the channel is applied only to one of the qubits. The dynamics of both cases was verified experimentally using an all-optical setup. We further investigated the evolution of partially entangled initial states. Different dynamics was observed for initial mixed and pure states of the same entanglement level.

On the validity of factorization law for the entanglement evolution of two qubits

Huo Ya-Jing, Li Jun-Gang

The validity of factorization law for the entanglement evolution of two qubits coupled to two independent non-Markovian channels is investigated. It is found that for some initial states, such as the Bell state and the maximally entangled mixed state, the entanglement can be characterized by the factorized entanglement when the effects of the channels are weak. For the general initial states, the factorized entanglement provides us with a good approximation to characterize the entanglement dynamics when the entanglement is large.

Entanglement-distribution maximization over one-sided Gaussian noisy channels

Xiang‐Bin Wang, Zong‐Wen Yu, Jiazhong Hu

We present an upper bound of the entanglement evolution for two-mode Gaussian pure states under a one-sided Gaussian map. Based on this, the optimization of entanglement evolution is studied. Even if complete information about the one-sided Gaussian noisy channel does not exist, one can still maximize the entanglement distribution by testing the channel with only two specific states.
