We study the dynamics of quantum discord and entanglement for two spin qubits coupled to a spin chain with Dzyaloshinsky—Moriya interaction. In the case of a two-qubit with an initial pure state, quantum correlations decay to zero at the critical point of the environment in a very short time. In the case of a two-qubit with initial mixed state, it is found that quantum discord may get maximized due to the quantum critical behavior of the environment, while entanglement vanishes under the same condition. Besides, we observed a sudden transition between classical and quantum decoherence when only a single qubit interacts with the environment. The effects of Dzyaloshinsky—Moriya interaction on quantum correlations are considered in the two cases. The decay of quantum correlations is always strengthened by Dzyaloshinsky—Moriya interaction.We study the dynamics of quantum discord and entanglement for two spin qubits coupled to a spin chain with Dzyaloshinsky—Moriya interaction.

Dynamics of quantum correlations for two-qubit coupled to a spin chain with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction

Yiying Yan, Li-Jun Tian, Li‐Guo Qin

We study the dynamics of quantum discord and entanglement for two spin qubits coupled to a spin chain with Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya (DM) interaction. We numerically and analytically investigate the time evolution of quantum discord and entanglement for two-qubit initially prepared in a class of $X-$ structure state. In the case of evolution from a pure state, quantum correlations decay to zero in a very short time at the critical point of the environment. In the case of evolution from a mixed state, It is found that quantum discord may get maximized due to the quantum critical behavior of the environment while entanglement vanishes under the same condition. Moreover, we observed sudden transition between classical and quantum decoherence when single qubit interacts with the environment. The effects of DM interaction on quantum correlations are also considered and revealed in the two cases. It can enhance the decay of quantum correlations and its effect on quantum correlations can be strengthened by anisotropy parameter.We study the dynamics of quantum discord and entanglement for two spin qubits coupled to a spin chain with Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya (DM) interaction.

QUANTUM CORRELATIONS OF TWO QUBITS COUPLED IN A THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM ENVIRONMENT

Aiping Zhang, Fuli Li

Quantum correlations (including entanglement and quantum discord) of two qubits symmetrically coupled to the surrounding XY spin chain in the presence of a transverse magnetic field are studied. We investigate the dynamic evolution of the quantum correlations of the two qubits when the surrounding spin chain is in the thermal equilibrium state. Numerical results show that the thermal effects can accelerate the decay process of the quantum correlations if the initial state of the composite system is not in the decoherence free space. When the temperature is high enough, the quantum phase transition driven by the external magnetic field completely disappear.Quantum correlations (including entanglement and quantum discord) of two qubits symmetrically coupled to the surrounding XY spin chain in the presence of a transverse magnetic field are studied.
