Abstract

Enhancing the quantum correlations in realistic quantum systems interacting with the environment of finite temperature is an important subject in quantum information processing. In this paper, we use weak measurement and measurement reversal to enhance the quantum correlations in a quantum system consisting of two particles. The transitions of the quantum correlations measured by the local quantum uncertainty of qubit-qubit and qutrit-qutrit quantum systems under generalized amplitude damping channels are investigated. We show that, after the weak measurement and measurement reversal, the joint system shows more robustness against decoherence.

Protecting the Entanglement of X-Type Systems via Weak Measurement and Reversal in the Generalized Amplitude Damping Channel

Meijiao Wang, Haojie Liu, Lianzhen Cao +4 more

The study of system evolution in generalized amplitude damping is of great significance in quantum information science and quantum computing. As an important quantum noise channel, the generalized amplitude damping channel can describe the general phenomenon of the energy dissipation effect in quantum systems at finite temperature. In this paper, we study the use of weak measurement and reversal to protect the entanglement of X-type systems in generalized amplitude damping channels, and give an experimental scheme. The results show that the closer to zero the temperature environment, the better the protection effect of weak measurement and reversal, but the lower the success rate. Therefore, when choosing an experimental environment, it is important to consider not only the temperature factor but also the probability of success. Because all quantum systems work at finite temperatures, it is hoped that the study of generalized amplitude damping channels can help design more robust quantum algorithms and protocols to improve the efficiency and stability of quantum information processing.

Exploration of the entropic uncertainty relation for a qutrit system under decoherence

You-neng Guo, Mao-Fa Fang, Qinglong Tian +2 more

Abstract In this paper, we have performed a detailed investigation of the dynamics of the entropic uncertainty relation for a qutrit with and without a memory system under an amplitude damping channel at finite temperature. We focus mainly on how the temperature affects the entropic uncertainty relation. The results show that the dynamics of the entropic uncertainty exhibits a non-monotonic phenomenon. As r increases ( r is usually a function of temperature), the amount of the entropic uncertainty will first increase and then subsequently decrease. Moreover, based on measurement reversal from a weak measurement, we have also investigated the reduction of the entropic uncertainty for a qutrit system under decoherence. It has been found that the measurement reversal technique can always reduce the entropic uncertainty effectively at finite temperature, while the prior weak measurement technique is valid only at a lower temperature but fails at a higher channel temperature. Finally, a phenomenological explanation of our results is also presented.

Protecting quantum coherence and discord from decoherence of depolarizing noise via weak measurement and measurement reversal

Abdul Basit, Fazal Badshah, Hamad Ali +1 more

Protection of the quantum coherence and discord in realistic quantum systems interacting with the environment of depolarizing noise is an important subject in quantum information processing. Weak measurement and measurement reversal can effectively suppress the amplitude damping-class decoherence. In this paper, we examine the effect of this protocol in the protection of quantum coherence and discord subjected to depolarizing noise environments. Our scheme consists of a prior weak measurement on each qubit before interacting with noisy channels followed by post measurement reversal. It is found that quantum coherence and discord can be enhanced to an optimal value by performing weak measurements and adjusting measurement parameters on each qubit. In addition, the maximal value of the quantum coherence and discord is found to be independent of the initial-state parameters.

Optimized decoherence suppression of tripartite entanglement in finite temperature environments using weak measurement and quantum measurement reversal

He-Jin Wu, Zhao Jin, Ai‐Dong Zhu

In practical application, since quantum entanglement is inevitably destroyed by thermal noise resulted from environment, protecting entanglement from decoherence in thermal bath environment becomes a critically important issue in the field of quantum information. In this work, we propose a scheme to protect the tripartite Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) entanglement state subjected to the generalized amplitude damping (GAD) channel based on the quantum technique of weak measurement (WM) and quantum measurement reversal (QMR). By optimizing the strengths of WM and QMR, the decoherence caused by the channel can be effectively suppressed. The results show that after performing the optimal pre- and post-channel weak measurement, the negativity of the GHZ state can be effectively improved with a certain probability, and the phenomenon of sudden death can be delayed to a certain degree. This scheme can be applied to the decoherence suppression of GAD channel at finite temperature.

Controlling the entropic uncertainty lower bound in two-qubit systems under decoherence

S Haseli, Hazhir Dolatkhah, S. Salimi +1 more

Abstract The uncertainty principle is an inherent characteristic of quantum mechanics. This principle can be formulated in various forms. Fundamentally, this principle can be expressed in terms of the standard deviation of the measured observables. In quantum information theory, the preferred mathematical quantity to express the entropic uncertainty relation is Shannon’s entropy. In this work, we consider the generalized entropic uncertainty relation in which there is an additional particle as a quantum memory. Alice measures on her particle A and Bob, with memory particle B , predicts Alice’s measurement outcomes. It has a wide range of applications, for example, entanglement witnessing and quantum key distribution. We study the effects of the environment on the entropic uncertainty lower bound in the presence of weak measurement and measurement reversal. The dynamical model that is intended in this work is as follows: first the weak measurement is performed, second, the decoherence affects the system and finally the measurement reversal is performed on the quantum system. Here, we consider the generalized amplitude damping channel and depolarizing channel as environmental noises. We will show that in the presence of weak measurement and measurement reversal, despite the presence of environmental factors, the entropic uncertainty lower bound drops to an optimal minimum value. In fact, weak measurement and measurement reversal enhance the quantum correlation between the subsystems A and B , and thus the uncertainty of Bob regarding Alice’s measurement outcomes reduces. Based on the entropic uncertainty relation, one can also show that the weak measurement and measurement reversal can preserve the quantum secret key rate lower bound from decoherence.

Protecting entanglement from finite-temperature thermal noise via weak measurement and quantum measurement reversal

Wenjie Zou, Yu-Huai Li, Shuchao Wang +6 more

In practical applications, quantum systems work in a finite-temperature environment. Quantum entanglement is inevitably destroyed by the thermal noise. Here we experimentally demonstrate the protection of entanglement on the platform of linear optics. The finite-temperature thermal noise is described by the generalized amplitude-damping channel. By performing optimal pre- and postchannel weak measurements, we successfully protect the entanglement from the generalized amplitude-damping channel. Compared with the unprotected case, the quantum coherence is recovered, and the entanglement is enhanced. The demonstrated protocol may have further applications in superconducting quantum qubits.
