Equation of motion for multiqubit entanglement in multiple independent noisy channels

Abstract

We investigate the possibility and conditions to factorize the entanglement evolution of a multiqubit system passing through multi-sided noisy channels. By means of a lower bound of concurrence (LBC) as entanglement measure, we derive an explicit formula of LBC evolution of the N-qubit generalized Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GGHZ) state under some typical noisy channels, based on which two kinds of factorizing conditions for the LBC evolution are presented. In this case, the time-dependent LBC can be determined by a product of initial LBC of the system and the LBC evolution of a maximally entangled GGHZ state under the same multi-sided noisy channels. We analyze the realistic situations where these two kinds of factorizing conditions can be satisfied. In addition, we also discuss the dependence of entanglement robustness on the number of the qubits and that of the noisy channels.

Evolution equation for entanglement of multiqubit systems

Michael Siomau, S. Fritzsche

We discuss entanglement evolution of a multiqubit system in which one of its qubits is subjected to a general noisy channel. For such a system, an evolution equation of entanglement for a lower bound for multiqubit concurrence is derived. Using this evolution equation, the entanglement dynamics of an initially mixed three-qubit state composed of a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) and a $W$ state is analyzed if one of the qubits is affected by a phase, an amplitude, or a generalized amplitude damping channel.

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.

Robustness of highly entangled multiqubit states under decoherence

Antoni Borràs, A. P. Majtey, Angel Ricardo Plastino +2 more

We investigate the decay of entanglement, due to decoherence, of multiqubit systems that are initially prepared in highly (in some cases maximally) entangled states. We assume that during the decoherence processes each qubit of the system interacts with its own independent environment. We determine, for systems with a small number of qubits and for various decoherence channels, the initial states exhibiting the most robust entanglement. We also consider a restricted version of this robustness-optimization problem that only involves states equivalent, under local unitary transformations, to the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger $|\text{GHZ}⟩$ state.

Analytical method of multiqubit entanglement robustness in correlated quantum channels

Zhen-Yu Peng, Feng-Lin Wu, Jun Li +3 more

In practice, the interaction between quantum system and environment will lead to the decoherence of entanglement. By quantifying the entanglement through the correlation tensor, we systematically investigate the entanglement robustness of two-qubit states under the four types of noisy channels and corresponding correlated channels. We use an analytical method to find all of the most robust and fragile states under the noisy channels. The puzzling phenomenon that the most robust and fragile states have the same entanglement under noisy channels has been investigated. Moreover, we compare the entanglement robustness of a three-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state with a $W$ state. Our method shows the behavior of entanglement under the noisy channels and characterizes the entanglement robustness of the multiqubit system analytically.

Entanglement evolution of two qubits under noisy environments

Jungang Li, Jian Zou, Bin Shao

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.

Noisy teleportation of qubit states via the Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state or the W state

Yan‐Ling Li, Mao-Fa Fang, Xing Mao Xiao +2 more

The effects of distributing entanglement through the amplitude damping channel or the phase damping channel on the teleportation of a single-qubit state via the Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state and the W state are discussed. It is found that the average fidelity of teleportation depends on the type and rate of the damping in the channel. For the one-qubit affected case, the Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state is as robust as the W state, i.e., the same quantum information is preserved through teleportation. For the two-qubit affected case, the W state is more robust when the entanglement is distributed via the amplitude damping channel; if the entanglement is distributed via the phase damping channel, the W state is more robust when the noisy parameter is small while the Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state becomes more robust when it is large. For the three-qubit affected case, the Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state is more robust than the W state.
