Abstract

We study the effect of external electric bias on the quantum correlations in the array of optically excited coupled semiconductor quantum dots. The correlations are characterized by the quantum discord and concurrence and are observed using excitonic qubits. We employ the lower bound of concurrence for thermal density matrix at different temperatures. The effect of the Förster interaction on correlations will be studied. Our theoretical model detects nonvanishing quantum discord when the electric field is on while concurrence dies, ensuring the existence of nonclassical correlations as measured by the quantum discord.

Quantum correlations dynamics in two coupled semiconductor InAs quantum dots

Hicham Ait Mansour, F-Z. Siyouri, Mustapha Faqir +1 more

Abstract We investigate the dynamics of both quantum discord and concurrence within two excitonic qubits embedded in two coupled semiconductor quantum dots independently interacting with dephasing reservoirs. Their behavior in both Markovian and non-Markovian environments is explored against the dimensionless time and the temperature. Moreover, the effects of the external electric field on these correlations as well as the effects related to the Förster interaction are extensively analyzed. We show that the non-Markovian behavior of quantum correlations is always preserved under the variation of the electric field and the Förster interaction, regardless of the strong influence of these two parameters on the amount of quantum correlations. Furthermore, we show that nonzero discord can still be observed for large values of temperature and dimensionless time, unlike concurrence which vanishes in this regime.

Exploring the impact of weak measurements on exciton–exciton interactions

Fatima-Zahra Siyouri, Y. Hassouni

Abstract In our study of super quantum discord between two excitonic qubits inside a coupled semiconductor quantum dots system, our primary focus is to uncover the impact of weak measurement on its quantum characteristics. To achieve this, we analyze how varying the measurement strength x , affects this super quantum correlation in the presence of thermal effects. Additionally, we assess the effect of this variation on the system’s evolution against its associated quantum parameters; external electric fields, exciton–exciton dipole interaction energy and Förster interaction. Our findings indicate that adjusting x to smaller values effectively enhances the super quantum correlation, making weak measurements act as a catalyst. This adjustment ensures its robustness against thermal effects while preserving the non-classical attributes of the system. Furthermore, our study unveils that the effect of weak measurements on this latter surpasses the quantum effects associated with the system. Indeed, manipulating the parameter x allows the weak measurement to function as a versatile tool for modulating quantum characteristics and controlling exciton–exciton interactions within the coupled semiconductor quantum dots system.

Robustness of Quantum Discord in Nonequilibrium Electronic Transport through Tunnel-Coupled Quantum Dots

Thingujam Yaiphalemba Meitei, Saikumar Krithivasan, Md. Manirul Ali +1 more

Quantum discord captures quantum correlations beyond entanglement and can remain finite even when the entanglement vanishes. We investigate the transient nonequilibrium dynamics and steady-state behavior of quantum discord and classical correlations in a double quantum dot (DQD) system coupled to fermionic reservoirs. By employing a quantum Langevin equation formalism, we obtain the exact reduced density matrix of the system, enabling a comprehensive analysis of its quantum and classical correlations under nonequilibrium conditions. The influence of system-reservoir coupling strength, spectral bandwidth, thermal bias, and varying initial state on both the transient dynamics and steady-state correlations is systematically analyzed. Quantum discord remains finite in the nonequilibrium steady state over a broad parameter range. Although thermal gradients reduce the overall magnitude of correlations, quantum discord persists and exhibits greater resilience. These results demonstrate that nonequilibrium electronic transport, together with the environmental spectral properties and reservoir asymmetry, provides an effective means of controlling nonclassical correlations in mesoscopic systems and establishes quantum discord as a robust hallmark of open fermionic quantum devices.

Quantum correlation switches for dipole arrays

Yanjie Li, Jin‐Ming Liu, Yan Zhang

We investigate the characteristics of three kinds of quantum correlations, measured by pairwise quantum discord (QD), geometric measure of quantum discord (GMQD), and measurement-induced disturbance (MID), in the systems of three- and four-dipole arrays. The influence of the temperature on the three quantum correlations and entanglement of the systems is also analyzed numerically. It is found that novel quantum correlation switches called QD, GMQD, and MID respectively can be constructed with the qubits consisting of electric dipoles coupled by the dipole—dipole interaction and oriented along or against the external electric field. Moreover, with the increase of temperature, QD, GMQD, and MID are more robust than entanglement against the thermal environment. It is also found that for each dipole pair of the three- and four-dipole arrangements, the MID is always the largest and the GMQD the smallest.

Dynamics of quantum correlations in a quantum dot system with intrinsic decoherence effects

Essalha Chaouki, Zakaria Dahbi, Mostafa Mansour

In this paper, we explore the dynamics of quantum correlations in an isolated physical quantum dot under the influence of intrinsic decoherence (ID). We characterize quantum correlations in the quantum dot system using Concurrence to capture the amount of entanglement, and we use Trace Distance Discord (TDD) and Local Quantum Uncertainty (LQU) to measure nonclassical correlations. Likewise, we investigate the effect of ID on the temporal evolution of these quantifiers. In particular, the behavior of the two discord-like quantifiers in terms of the system parameters and the ID rate is investigated and analyzed in detail. We found that TDD and LQU behave similarly for different parameters characterizing the considered system and that TDD is more resistant than Concurrence and LQU against the ID effects. Our results also show that the robustness of quantum correlations can be modulated by adjusting the ID rate, quantum dot physical properties and initial conditions.
