Abstract

We investigate the use of quantum-jump-based feedback to manipulate the stability of multipartite entangled dark states in an open quantum system. Using the model proposed in Phys. Rev. A 76, 010301(R) (2007) for a pair of atoms, we show a general strategy to produce many-body singlet stationary entangled states for larger number of atoms. In the case of four qubits, we propose a simple local feedback control that, although not optimal, is realistic and stabilizes a highly entangled state. We discuss the limitations and analyze alternative strategies within the framework of direct jump feedback schemes.

Engineering Steady States Using Jump-Based Feedback for Multipartite Entanglement Generation

Robin Stevenson, J. J. Hope, Andre R. R. Carvalho

We investigate the use of quantum-jump-based feedback to manipulate the stability of multipartite entangled dark states in an open quantum system. We use quantum trajectory methods to show a general strategy to isolate subspaces of entangled states. In the case of four qubits, we propose a simple feedback control that, although not optimal, is realistic and stabilizes a highly entangled state.

Stabilizing entanglement by quantum-jump-based feedback

Andre R. R. Carvalho, J. J. Hope

We show that direct feedback based on quantum-jump detection can be used to generate entangled steady states. We present a strategy that is insensitive to detection inefficiencies and robust against errors in the control Hamiltonian. This feedback procedure is also shown to overcome spontaneous emission effects by stabilizing states with a high degree of entanglement.

Controlling Entanglement by Quantum-Jump-Based Feedback

Andre R. R. Carvalho, J. J. Hope

We describe how feedback methods can be implemented to produce and stabilize entangled states of two atoms inside a cavity. Feedback control is used to engineer an effective environment dynamics, such that the entangled state to be protected is a steady state of the system. The control strategy is therefore robust with respect to external noises and fundamental decoherence sources, as spontaneous emission, for example. We also show that the scheme is mostly insensitive to practical imperfections, as detection inefficiencies and laser fluctuations.

Controlling entanglement by direct quantum feedback

Andre R. R. Carvalho, Andrew J. S Reid, J. J. Hope

We discuss the generation of entanglement between electronic states of two atoms in a cavity using direct quantum feedback schemes. We compare the effects of different control Hamiltonians and detection processes in the performance of entanglement production and show that the quantum-jump-based feedback proposed by Carvalho and Hope [Phys. Rev. A 76, 010301(R) (2007)] can protect highly entangled states against decoherence. We provide analytical results that explain the robustness of jump feedback, and also analyze the perspectives of experimental implementation by scrutinizing the effects of imperfections and approximations in our model.

Engineering steady three-atom singlet states via quantum-jump-based feedback

Xiao‐Qiang Shao, Tai-Yu Zheng, Shou Zhang

A scheme is presented for generating steady three-atom singlet states via three V-type atoms interacting with a strongly dissipative two-mode cavity. The local quantum feedback control is applied based on quantum-jump detection to make the target state fidelity as high as possible. This scheme is insensitive to detection inefficiencies since it only delays the time at which stationarity is achieved. Nevertheless, the spontaneous emission plays a negative role in the current system.
