Abstract

We study how the environment of photonic band gap (PBG) materials affects entanglement dynamics of qubits. Entanglement between the single qubit and the PBG environment is investigated through the von Neumann entropy while that for two initially entangled qubits in this PBG reservoir is through concurrence. Dynamics of these measurements are solved in use of the fractional calculus which has been shown appropriate for the systems with non-Markovian dynamics. Entropy dynamics of the single qubit system reveals that the coupling with the PBG reservoir prevents decoherence of the qubit through the steady entropy with non-zero value. The effect of PBG reservoir on the concurrence of the two-qubit system leads to the long-time entanglement preservation. The concurrence dynamics shows that unphysical entanglement trapping does not exist in the system with the qubit frequency lying outside the PBG region. Long-time memory effect of the PBG reservoir occurs only for the qubit frequency in the PBG region. Entanglement mechanisms resulting from this long-time memory effect are discussed.

Dynamics of relaxation, decoherence and entropy of a qubit in anisotropic photonic crystals

Jing-Nuo Wu, Chen, Hung-Kuang, Wen–Feng Hsieh +1 more

We study the quantum dynamics of relaxation, decoherence and entropy of a qubit embedded in an anisotropic photonic crystal (PhC) through fractional calculus. These quantum measurements are investigated by analytically solving the fractional Langevin equation. The qubit with frequency lying inside the photonic band gap (PBG) exhibits the preserving behavior of energy, coherence and information amount through the steady values of excited-state probability, polarization oscillation and von Neumann entropy. This preservation does not exist in the Markovian system with qubit frequency lying outside the PBG region. These accurate results are based on the appropriate mathematical method of fractional calculus and reasonable inference of physical phenomena.

Two-qubit entanglement dynamics for two different non-Markovian environments

Bruno Bellomo, Rosario Lo Franco, Sabrina Maniscalco +1 more

We study the time behaviour of entanglement between two noninteracting qubits, each immersed in its own environment for two different non-Markovian conditions: a high- Q cavity slightly off-resonant with the qubit transition frequency and a nonperfect photonic band gap (PBG). We find that revivals and retardation of entanglement loss may occur by adjusting the cavity–qubit detuning, in the first case, while partial entanglement trapping occurs in a nonideal PBG.

Entropy squeezing and coherence for a non-Markovian dissipative qubit system

K. Berrada

We examine the impact of the non-Markovian environment on the dynamical behavior of the quantum coherence and entropy squeezing considering a two-level atomic system (qubit) immersed in a reservoir with zero-temperature for two types of non-Markovian environments. We consider a cavity little off-resonance with the transition frequency of the qubit and the case of a non-perfect photonic band gap (PBG). We show that the amount of coherence is dependent on the structure of the environment and influenced through the memory effects. We obtain that the delay and revival of the coherence loss might take place by controlling the detuning of the cavity-qubit system. Whereas, a partial coherence trapping occurs in non-ideal PBG and the decrease of the gap width will destroy the coherence. On the other hand, we show the situation for which the squeezing is occurring and enhanced with respect to the main parameters for the system. Finally, we display the monotonic dependence of the quantum coherence and squeezing on the main model parameters.

Relationship between quantum speed limit time and memory time in a photonic-band-gap environment

Jinfeng Wang, Yilun Wu, Minglun Mo +1 more

Non-Markovian effect is found to be able to decrease the quantum speed limit (QSL) time, and hence to enhance the intrinsic speed of quantum evolution. Although a reservoir with larger degree of non-Markovianity may seem like it should cause smaller QSL times, this seemingly intuitive thinking may not always be true. We illustrate this by investigating the QSL time of a qubit that is coupled to a two-band photonic-band-gap (PBG) environment. We show how the QSL time is influenced by the coherent property of the reservoir and the band-gap width. In particular, we find that the decrease of the QSL time is not attributed to the increasing non-Markovianity, while the memory time of the environment can be seen as an essential reflection to the QSL time. So, the QSL time provides a further insight and sharper identification of memory time in a PBG environment. We also discuss a feasible experimental realization of our prediction.

Non-Markovian Dynamics of Entanglement of three-level atom embedded in a 3D photonic band gap structure

M. S. Ateto

Entanglement evolution for a classically pumped three-level atom interacting with an anisotropic structured reservoir is studied. We demonstrate that entanglement decay is much slower in the reservoir with the memory effects. This point is beneficial for the implementation of quantum computation in the non-Markovian environments. Unlike the free-space case, the unusual reservoir stimulates stationary entanglement with amplitude depends strongly on the relative phase between the control laser coupling the two upper levels and the pump laser pulse used to create an excited state of the atom in a coherent superposition of the two upper levels. An optimal stationary degree of entanglement is achieved for negative relative phase, where both detunings - from the upper band gap and driving laser - are the same. Moreover, a significant stationary degre e of entanglement is reached, for high detuned upper levels with the pump laser pulse, on resonant frequency near the edge of the PBG. For entanglement in stationary regime, the Rabi frequency of the control laser field exceeds the rate of entanglement degradation or e nhancement for tuned or detuned frequency from the band gap, depending on the relative phase value.

Quantum dynamics of two quantum dots in the vicinity of a photonic band edge: role of structured reservoirs and phonons

C. Roy

We study the population and disentanglement dynamics of two identical quantum dots placed inside the structured electromagnetic reservoir of a photonic crystal and coupled to an independent bath of thermal phonons. A formalism based on the method of generalized-Laplace transforms is developed to study the population and disentanglement dynamics. The effect of resonant dipole dipole interaction between the two quantum dots on the population dynamics in the presence of phonons and shows that the two two-level atoms can have a residual population at long times in the structured reservoir of a photonic crystal due to the formation of a photon-atom bound state. The disentanglement dynamics of the two quantum dots (assumed to be initially entangled) is studied using concurrence as a measure and is computed from the reduced two two-level system density matrix using the method of generalized-Laplace transforms. We show that partial disentanglement results from the interaction of the two quantum dots with the electromagnetic and phonon reservoirs. However, substantial entanglement is preserved in the fractionalized steady state formed if the transition frequency of two the quantum dots lies in the vicinity of the photonic band edge. We also discuss in detail the role of acoustic phonons on the population and disentanglement dynamics and the long time residual entanglement.
