Abstract

We study the dynamics of four-qubit W state under various noisy environments by solving analytically the master equation in the Lindblad form in which the Lindblad operators correspond to the Pauli matrices and describe the decoherence of states. Also, we investigate the dynamics of the entanglement using the lower bound to the concurrence. It is found that while the entanglement decreases monotonically for Pauli-Z noise, it decays suddenly for other three noises. Moreover, by studying the time evolution of entanglement of various maximally entangled four-qubit states, we indicate that the four-qubit W state is more robust under same-axis Pauli channels. Furthermore, three-qubit W state preserves more entanglement with respect to the four-qubit W state, except for the Pauli-Z noise.

Dynamics of entanglement and non-classical correlation for four-qubit GHZ state

Pakhshan Espoukeh, Robabeh Rahimi, S. Salimi +1 more

Many-qubit entanglement is crucial for quantum information processing although its exploitation is hindered by the detrimental effects of the environment surrounding the many-qubit system. It is thus of importance to study the dynamics of general multipartite non-classical correlation, including but not restricted to entanglement, under noise. We did this study for four-qubit Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinga (GHZ) state under most common noises in an experiment and found that non-classical correlation is more robust than entanglement except when it is imposed to dephasing channel. Quantum discord presents a sudden transition in its dynamics for Pauli-X and Pauli-Y noises as well as Bell-diagonal states interacting with dephasing reservoirs and it decays monotonically for Pauli-Z and isotropic noises.

Entanglement dynamics of three-qubit states in local many-sided noisy channels

Michael Siomau

We study entanglement dynamics of pure three-qubit Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger-type entangled states when one, two or three qubits are subjected to general local noise. Employing a lower bound for three-qubit concurrence as an entanglement measure, we show that for some many-sided noisy channels the entanglement dynamics can be completely described by the evolution of the entangled states in single-sided channels.

Quantum W-Type Entanglement in Photonic Systems with Environmental Decoherence

K. Berrada, Smail B. Bougouffa

Preserving quantum entanglement in multipartite systems under environmental decoherence is a critical challenge for quantum information processing. In this work, we investigate the dynamics of W-type entanglement in a system of three photons, focusing on the effects of Markovian and non-Markovian decoherence regimes. Using the lower bound of concurrence (LBC) as a measure of entanglement, we analyze the time evolution of the LBC for photons initially prepared in a W state under the influence of dephasing noise. We explore the dependence of entanglement dynamics on system parameters such as the dephasing angle and refractive-index difference, alongside environmental spectral properties. Our results, obtained within experimentally feasible parameter ranges, reveal how the enhancement of entanglement preservation can be achieved in Markovian and non-Markovian regimes according to the system parameters. These findings provide valuable insights into the robustness of W-state entanglement in tripartite photonic systems and offer practical guidance for optimizing quantum protocols in noisy environments.

Entanglement dynamic of arbitrary number qubit in the open quantum systems

Zahra Bakhshi, E. Morsheddoost, Zeynali, A.

We study the entanglement dynamics of multi-qubit systems coupled to a common dissipative environment, focusing on systems with one or two initially excited qubits. Using the Lindblad master equation, we derive the time evolution of the density matrix and analyze the entanglement between qubit pairs via the concurrence measure. The solution method involves applying the Lindblad super-operator to the initial density matrix, generating a subspace of non-duplicate states. We extend our analysis to $n$-qubit systems, including three-qubit and four-qubit configurations, and explore the effects of thermal noise on entanglement dynamics. Our results demonstrate how initial conditions, system size, and environmental interactions shape entanglement, providing valuable insights for quantum information processing applications.

Evolution equation for entanglement of multiqubit systems

Michael Siomau, S. Fritzsche

We discuss entanglement evolution of a multiqubit system in which one of its qubits is subjected to a general noisy channel. For such a system, an evolution equation of entanglement for a lower bound for multiqubit concurrence is derived. Using this evolution equation, the entanglement dynamics of an initially mixed three-qubit state composed of a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) and a $W$ state is analyzed if one of the qubits is affected by a phase, an amplitude, or a generalized amplitude damping channel.

Analytical method of multiqubit entanglement robustness in correlated quantum channels

Zhen-Yu Peng, Feng-Lin Wu, Jun Li +3 more

In practice, the interaction between quantum system and environment will lead to the decoherence of entanglement. By quantifying the entanglement through the correlation tensor, we systematically investigate the entanglement robustness of two-qubit states under the four types of noisy channels and corresponding correlated channels. We use an analytical method to find all of the most robust and fragile states under the noisy channels. The puzzling phenomenon that the most robust and fragile states have the same entanglement under noisy channels has been investigated. Moreover, we compare the entanglement robustness of a three-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state with a $W$ state. Our method shows the behavior of entanglement under the noisy channels and characterizes the entanglement robustness of the multiqubit system analytically.
