Abstract

We address the dynamics of a two-qubit system interacting with a classical dephasing environment driven by a Gaussian stochastic process. Upon introducing the concept of entanglement-preserving time, we compare the degrading effects of different environments, e.g. those described by Ornstein–Uhlenbeck (OU) or fractional noise. In particular, we consider pure Bell states and mixtures of Bell states and study the typical values of the entanglement-preserving time for both independent and common environments. We found that engineering environments towards fractional Gaussian noise is useful to preserve entanglement as well as to improve its robustness against noise. We also address entanglement sudden death by studying the sudden-death time as a function of the initial negativity. We found that: (i) the sudden-death time is bounded from below by an increasing function of the initial negativity, (ii) the sudden-death time depends only slightly on the process used to describe the environment and exhibits typicality. Overall, our results show that engineering the environment has only a slight influence over the entanglement sudden-death time, while it represents a valuable resource to increase the entanglement-preserving time, i.e. to maintain entanglement closer to the initial level for a longer interaction time.

Effects of classical fluctuating environments on decoherence and bipartite quantum correlation dynamics

Abstract We address the time evolution of quantum correlations (QCs) such as entanglement, purity, and coherence for a model of two non-interacting qubits initially prepared as a maximally entangled bipartite state. We contrast the comparative potential of the classical fields to preserve these QCs in the noisy and noiseless realms. We also disclose the characteristic dynamical behavior of the QCs of the two-qubit state under the static noise effects originating from the common and different configuration models. We show that there is a direct connection between the fluctuations allowed by an environment and the preservation of QCs. Due to the static noise dephasing effects, the QCs are suppressed, resulting in the separability of the two-qubit entangled state after a finite duration. For bipartite QCs preservation, we show that the common configuration is more resourceful than the different configuration. Furthermore, this protection of the QCs under static noise for large intervals is entirely attributable to the existence of the entanglement sudden death and birth phenomenon. Most importantly, we found the bipartite QCs less fragile than the tripartite ones in comparison under the static noise. In addition, we find the concurrence measure to show more evident revivals of entanglement in comparison.

Schemes to avoid entanglement sudden death of decohering two qubit system

C. V. Namitha, S. V. M. Satyanarayana

We investigate the entanglement dynamics of two interacting qubits in a common vacuum environment. The inevitable environment interaction leads to entanglement sudden death (ESD) in a two qubit entangled state system. The entanglement dynamics can be modified by the use of local unitary operations (quantum gates), applied on the system during its evolution. We show that these operations not only delays or avoids the ESD but also advances the entanglement revival with high concurrence value depending on the time of operation. We have analytically found out different time windows for switching with different quantum gates so that the ESD can be completely avoided in the subsequent evolution of the system. Our result offers practical applications in the field of quantum information processing where the entanglement is a necessary resource.

Noise-Assisted Quantum Entanglement: Memory-Enhanced Coherence in Stochastic Jaynes-Cummings Dynamics

Fang Wang, Quanzhen Ding, Jun Jing +1 more

We investigate qubit entanglement dynamics in a two-qubit cavity system with stochastically fluctuating coupling strength, comparing white noise (Markovian) and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck noise (non-Markovian) processes. We analytically solve the system dynamics for both Fock and coherent cavity states and systematically characterize how initial qubit configurations affect entanglement generation and preservation. Our results reveal distinct dynamical regimes: in the Fock-state cavity, initial states in the single-excitation subspace generate robust qubit entanglement in decoherence-free subspaces, while initially entangled states in the double-excitation subspace exhibit inevitable decay without protective symmetries. For coherent cavities, we identify a critical photon-number threshold in the intermediate coherent-state amplitude regime where dynamics transition from low-frequency to high-frequency entanglement oscillations, while universal entanglement loss occurs at large amplitudes. Remarkable resilience against entanglement sudden death emerges under strong non-Markovian noise with long correlation times, where repeated revivals occur. These findings establish cavity photon statistics and environmental memory time as key control parameters for engineering qubit entanglement dynamics in qubit-cavity systems, revealing how system-environment correlations govern quantum information preservation.

Multipartite quantum correlations and coherence dynamics subjected to classical environments and fractional Gaussian noise

Atta Ur Rahman, Muhammad Javed, Lionel Tenemeza Kenfack +1 more

We address the dynamical map of entanglement and coherence in a four qubit maximally entangled GHZ states coupled with classical environments driven by fractional Gaussian noise. The system-environment coupling is assumed in four different schemes: common, bipartite, tripartite, and independent system-environment configuration. We show that entanglement preservation can be modeled in multipartite GHZ-like states using parameter optimization in the current local environments except for the independent configuration. The decay is characterized by monotonous functions in time and the exact fluctuating behaviour of the local fields, as well as entanglement sudden death and birth revivals, are completely suppressed. Not only noise, but also the nature of qubit-environment coupling and the number of independent environments coupled, have dephasing effects on the entanglement and coherence preservation. Furthermore, as the Hurst parameter of fractional Gaussian noise is increased, the decay becomes delayed initially. Finally, the four-qubit GHZ state is found to be a good resource for quantum information processing that can withstand noise dissipation, particularly under a common noise source.

EFFECTS OF CLASSICAL ENVIRONMENTAL NOISE ON ENTANGLEMENT AND QUANTUM DISCORD DYNAMICS

Claudia Benedetti, Fabrizio Buscemi, Paolo Bordone +1 more

We address the effect of classical noise on the dynamics of quantum correlations, entanglement and quantum discord (QD), of two non-interacting qubits initially prepared in a Bell state. The effect of noise is modeled by randomizing the single-qubit transition amplitudes. We address both static and dynamic environmental noise corresponding to interaction with separate and common baths in either Markovian and non-Markovian regimes. In the Markov regime, a monotone decay of the quantum correlations is found, whereas for non-Markovian noise sudden death and revival phenomena may occur, depending on the characteristics of the noise. Entanglement and QD show the same qualitative behavior for all kind of noises considered. On the other hand, we find that separate and common environments may play opposite roles in preserving quantum correlations, depending on the noise regime considered.

environment on the entanglement dynamics in non-Markov process. Our results show that the entanglement degree is strongly related with the initial quantum state and the coupling between the qubits and the environment. The interaction between the qubits and the environment suppresses the decay of the entanglement. The sudden death of entanglement (ESD) can be prevented only by using and controlling targeted the interaction model between the different qubits and the environment. We also find the dissipation phenomenon always exists when the qubits system is initially in the maximally entangled mixed states.
