Abstract

We study the entanglement dynamics of two non-interacting, spatially separated qubits subject to local environment noises. Based on exactly solvable models for non-Markovian amplitude damping and phase damping noises, we are able to analyze the entanglement dynamics of the two qubits for different coupling bandwidths and different detunings. We show that entanglement oscillations can occur for both amplitude and phase damping noises. Moreover, we demonstrate that changing the coupling bandwidth can lead to crossover between dissipative and non-dissipative entanglement dynamics, while varying the detuning controls the crossover between strong and weak coupling limits. Our findings can help provide a synthesized picture for the entanglement dynamics of two qubits subject to local environment noises.

Entanglement dynamics in superconducting qubits affected by local bistable impurities

Rosario Lo Franco, Antonio D’Arrigo, G. Falci +2 more

We study the entanglement dynamics for two independent superconducting qubits, each affected by a bistable impurity generating random telegraph noise (RTN) at pure dephasing. The relevant parameter is the ratio g between the qubit–RTN coupling strength and the RTN switching rate, which captures the physics of the crossover between Markovian and non-Markovian features of the dynamics. For identical qubit–RTN subsystems, a threshold value g th of the crossover parameter separates exponential decay and the onset of revivals; different qualitative behaviors also show up by changing the initial conditions of the RTN. We also show that, for different qubit–RTN subsystems, when both qubits are very strongly coupled to the RTN, an increase of entanglement revival amplitude may occur during the dynamics.

Rise and fall of entanglement between two qubits in a non-Markovian bath

Sayan Roy, Christian Otto, Raphaël Menu +1 more

We analyze the dynamics of quantum correlations between two qubits coupled to a linear chain of oscillators. The chain mediates interactions between the qubits and acts as a non-Markovian reservoir. The model is amenable to an analytical solution when the initial state of the chain is Gaussian. We study the dynamics of the qubits' concurrence starting from a separable state and assuming that the chain spectrum is gapped and the chain is initially in a thermal state. We identify three relevant regimes that depend on the strength of the qubit-chain coupling in relation to the spectral gap. These are (i) the weak-coupling regime, where the qubits are entangled at the asymptotics, (ii) the strong-coupling regime, where the concurrence can exhibit collapses followed by revivals with exponentially attenuated amplitude, and (iii) the thermal damping regime, where the concurrence rapidly vanishes due to the chain's thermal excitations. In all cases, if entanglement is generated, this occurs after a finite time has elapsed. This time scale depends exponentially on the qubits' distance and is determined by the spectral properties of the chain. Entanglement irreversible decay, on the other hand, is due to the dissipative effect induced by the coupling with the chain and is controlled by the coupling strength between the chain and qubits. This study unravels the basic mechanisms leading to entanglement in a non-Markovian bath and allows one to identify the key resources for realizing quantum coherent dynamics of open systems.

Control of population and entanglement of two qubits under the action of different types of dissipative noise

Guilherme Jurkevicz Delben, A. L. O. dos Santos, M. G. E. da Luz

We investigate the quantum control of two qubits interacting with a Markovian environment and evolving as an $X$ state. The control is implemented via a simple applied field, whose profile is determined by means of the piecewise time-independent quantum control method. The goal is to make either the population or the system concurrence to follow a specified tracking control trajectory. By considering the system under the influence of three kinds of noise---phase damping, amplitude damping, or a combination of both---we unveil the conditions (like energy balance) under which the quantum control is properly achieved and fidelity (monitored through the trace distance) is kept satisfactorily high, even if the qubits interact differently with the dissipative medium. We further find that the effects of phase damping, a type of noise which notoriously destroys coherence and entanglement, can be mitigated if during the control the system is also exposed to amplitude damping. Of potential interest for the usage of entanglement as resource for quantum information, our results indicate that distinct entanglement measures and coherence can be maintained relatively high (even at long times) as a consequence of the tracking quantum control process.

Quenched decoherence in qubit dynamics due to strong amplitude-damping noise

Shin-Tza Wu

We study nonperturbatively the time evolution of a qubit subject to amplitude-damping noise. We show that at strong coupling the qubit decoherence can be quenched owing to large environment feedback, such that the qubit can evolve coherently even in the long-time limit. As an application, we show that for a quantum channel that consists of two independent qubits subject to uncorrelated local amplitude-damping noises, it can maintain at strong coupling finite entanglement and better than classical teleportation fidelity at long times.

Non-Markovian disentanglement dynamics of a two-qubit system

Xiufeng Cao, Hang Zheng

We investigate the disentanglement dynamics of a two-qubit system in the non-Markovian approach. It is shown that only for weak coupling between the system and environment does an exponential decay of entanglement appear, for certain classes of two-qubit entangled states. When the coupling between qubit and the environment becomes stronger, entanglement sudden death always appears even if the dissipation environment is at zero temperature.

Quantum Entanglement Dynamics and Concurrence Preservation in a Noisy Two-Qubit System with External Control Field

Karim Ghorbani, Reza Rezaee

Abstract Entanglement is an essential resource for quantum information processing; however, it is highly susceptible to decoherence induced by environmental interactions. In this work, we investigate the entanglement dynamics of a two-qubit system subjected to Markovian noise and explore the effectiveness of external control fields in preserving quantum correlations. Using the Lindblad master equation, we model the evolution of the system under two decoherence channels, namely, amplitude damping (spontaneous emission) and phase damping (dephasing). We introduce periodic driving and optimal control protocols to mitigate entanglement loss and analyze their impact using concurrence as a quantifier of two-qubit entanglement. Our numerical results reveal certain conditions under which sudden death of entanglement can be delayed or even prevented. Additionally, in the case of the initial state being a mixed state, we identify time regimes where entanglement revival occurs, providing insights into quantum error correction strategies. The results contribute to the broader understanding of quantum coherence preservation and have implications for quantum computing, secure quantum communication, and quantum memory design.
