Is composite noise necessary for sudden death of entanglement?

Abstract

The finite time disentanglement or entanglement sudden death, when only one part of the composite system is subjected to a single noise, is examined. While it is shown that entanglement sudden death can occur when a part of the entangled mixed state is subjected to either amplitude noise or phase noise, local action of either of them does not cause entanglement sudden death in pure entangled states. In contrast, depolarizing noise is shown to have an ability to cause sudden death of entanglement even in pure entangled states, when only one part of the state is exposed to it. The result is illustrated through the action of different noisy environments individually on a single qubit of the so-called X class of states and an arbitrary two-qubit pure state.

DECAY OF MAXIMALLY ENTANGLED BELL STATES

Manju Bhatt, Umesh C. Johri, B. Pant

Strangeness of quantum physical laws is very fascinating aspect for all of us. In various composite quantum systems it was found that the finite time disentanglement called Entanglement sudden death takes place.Entangalment sudden death is a very well known phenomena in which qubits die after in a particular time. In our case we have studied two qubit quantum system as maximally entangled systems. We can expand it for many qubit systems also. We examine the behaviour of these systems under amplitude damping noise. The other environmental noises such as phase damping and depolarisation were also studied. All these noises were applied on single qubit as well as on both the qubits. Class of X-states has been used for the study.

Manipulation of entanglement sudden death in an all-optical setup

Ashutosh Singh, Siva T. Pradyumna, A. R. P. Rau +1 more

The unavoidable and irreversible interaction between an entangled quantum system and its environment causes decoherence of the individual qubits as well as degradation of the entanglement between them. Entanglement sudden death (ESD) is the phenomenon wherein disentanglement happens in finite time even when individual qubits decohere only asymptotically in time due to noise. Prolonging the entanglement is essential for the practical realization of entanglement-based quantum information and computation protocols. For this purpose, the local NOT operation in the computational basis on one or both qubits has been proposed. Here, we formulate an all-optical experimental setup involving such NOT operations that can hasten, delay, or completely avert ESD, all depending on when it is applied during the process of decoherence. Analytical expressions for these are derived in terms of parameters of the initial state’s density matrix, whether for pure or mixed entangled states. After a discussion of the schematics of the experiment, the problem is theoretically analyzed, and simulation results of such manipulations of ESD are presented.

SUDDEN CHANGE OF QUANTUM DISCORD UNDER SINGLE QUBIT NOISE

Lixing Jia, Bo Li, R. H. Yue +1 more

We show that the sudden change of quantum correlation can occur even when only one part of the composite entangled state is exposed to a noisy environment. Our results are illustrated through the action of different noisy environments individually on a single qubit of quantum system. Composite noise on the whole of the quantum system is thus not the necessarily condition for the occurrence of sudden transition for quantum correlation.

Local-dephasing-induced entanglement sudden death in two-component finite-dimensional systems

Kevin Ann, Gregg S. Jaeger

Entanglement sudden death (ESD), the complete loss of entanglement in finite time, is demonstrated to occur in a class of bipartite states of qudit pairs of any finite dimension $d>2$, when prepared in so-called ``isotropic states'' and subject to multilocal dephasing noise alone. This extends previous results for qubit pairs [T. Yu and J. H. Eberly, Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 140403 (2006)] to all qudit pairs with $d>2$.

Entanglement dynamics of a pure bipartite system in dissipative environments

Rabia Tahira, Manzoor Ikram, Tasnim Azim +1 more

We investigate the phenomenon of sudden death of entanglement in a bipartite system subjected to dissipative environments with arbitrary initial pure entangled state between two atoms. We find that in a vacuum reservoir the presence of the state where both atoms are in excited states is a necessary condition for the sudden death of entanglement. Otherwise entanglement remains for an infinite time and decays asymptotically with the decay of individual qubits. For pure 2-qubit entangled states in a thermal environment, we observe that the sudden death of entanglement always happens. The sudden death time of the entangled states is related to the temperature of the reservoir and the initial preparation of the entangled states.

Decoherence, Disentanglement and Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

Gregg S. Jaeger, Kevin Ann, Guillaume Adenier +4 more

Decoherence and disentanglement are phenomena central to quantum mechanics. Here, we consider the relative rates of decoherence and disentanglement in two‐qubit, three‐qubit, and two‐qutrit systems when subject to pure dephasing noise alone, and a very recent result for d×d systems. Of particular interest is the specific counterintuitive effect related to the nonadditivity of such weak noises, known as Entanglement Sudden Death (ESD), in which the entanglement of a composite quantum system goes abruptly to zero in finite time, coherence only exponentially decaying. We discuss these results in the context of the foundations of quantum mechanics.
