We study how to control the dynamics of tripartite entanglement among optical cavities using non-Markovian baths. In particular, we demonstrate how the reservoir engineering through the utilization of non-Markovian baths with different types of Lorentzian and ohmic spectral densities can lead to an entanglement survival for longer times and in some cases considerable regain of seemingly lost entanglement. Both of these behaviours indicate a better sustainability of entanglement (in time) compared to the usual Markovian bath situations which assumes a flat spectrum of the bath around the system resonant frequency. Our scheme shows these effects in the context of optical cavities starting off in a maximally entangled W and Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger tripartite states. In Lorentzian cases, we find that the far detuned double Lorentzian baths with small coupling strengths and for ohmic-type baths super-ohmic environments with smaller cutoff frequencies are the best candidates for preserving entanglement among cavities for significant amount of time. A non-Markovian quantum jump approach is employed to understand the entanglement dynamics in these cases, especially to recognize the collapse and revival of the entanglement in both W and GHZ states.

Quantum entanglement is one of most remarkable features of quantum mechanics,and in recent years it has played a more and more important role in quantum information.However,real quantum system inevitably interacts with the environment,resulting in the entanglement decay or even entanglement sudden death,so it is necessary to study the entanglement dynamical properties of an open system under different environments.In this paper,we investigate the entanglement dynamic behaviors of three interacting two-level atoms in an optical cavity which is coupled to a structured zero-temperature bosonic reservoir.Laplace transform,LBC and other methods are utilized,through numerical method we analyze the entanglement dynamic behavios of tripartite of three atoms and bipartite of cavity and reservoir.We also discuss how the coupling parameters affect the entanglement dynamics.Results show that in a short time,the entanglement of tripartite increases with coupling strength of three atoms increasing,and a periodic oscillation appears, but entanglement of bipartite decreases.The entanglement of tripartite decreases with the coupling strength between atoms and cavity increasing and damping oscillation appears,but the entanglement of bipartite increases.In a long-time limit,the entanglement approaches to a steady value.The non-Markovian dynamics of the qubits is determined by both the coupling strength and the spectral width.The strong system-reservoir coupling regime results in the non-Markovian dynamics of system.As the spectral width increases,the system of three atoms transforms from non-Markovian regime to Markovian regime.The increasing of spectral width results in the Markovian dynamic behavior of system,but the system of the atoms falls into the non-Markovian regime once more.When the coupling between the cavity and reservoir is weak,the entanglement of three atoms increases as the detuning of the cavity and reservoir increases,but it is not obvious.When the coupling between the cavity and reservoir is strong,the entanglement of three atoms increases and a periodic oscillation appears with increasing the detuning between the cavity and reservoir,so we can effectively restrain the effects of dissipation of reservoir on entanglement decay by adjusting the detuning between the cavity and reservoir.
This study advances the theoretical understanding of decoherence mechanisms in open quantum systems by modelling entanglement dynamics under localised environmental interactions relevant to emerging quantum technologies in Tunisia. A unified analytical framework is developed that bridges Markovian and non-Markovian regimes, quantifying the resilience of bipartite entanglement against structured environmental noise. Considering a system of two non-interacting qubits coupled to a common bosonic reservoir, a generalised master equation incorporating a memory kernel is derived from a structured spectral density function with tunable ohmicity. An analytical expression for the time-dependent concurrence is obtained for an initial Bell state, revealing a crossover from monotonic decay to oscillatory behaviour with entanglement revivals as the reservoir cutoff frequency is lowered relative to the qubit splitting. In the sub-ohmic regime, entanglement decay is slower and revivals are more pronounced, demonstrating that the spectral density cutoff frequency acts as a control parameter for entanglement preservation. The framework incorporates a local noise temperature parameter to represent cryostat fluctuations typical of Tunisian laboratory conditions, allowing the model to capture the phenomenology of entanglement evolution under constraints of limited cryogenic infrastructure and higher ambient noise levels. Crucially, the results show that standard Markovian models systematically overestimate the rate of entanglement loss, particularly in sub-ohmic environments, and that non-Markovian memory effects can temporarily restore quantum correlations after periods of apparent death. These findings challenge the assumption that decoherence is irreversible, revealing a form of quantum memory that could be harnessed for error correction or state protection. The framework provides a practical tool for predicting coherence lifetimes in solid-state and photonic systems, offering a comparative benchmark for experimental platforms within Tunisia's nascent quantum optics community and informing the design of robust quantum information protocols in the North African research context.
We analyze the dynamics of quantum correlations between two qubits coupled to a linear chain of oscillators. The chain mediates interactions between the qubits and acts as a non-Markovian reservoir. The model is amenable to an analytical solution when the initial state of the chain is Gaussian. We study the dynamics of the qubits' concurrence starting from a separable state and assuming that the chain spectrum is gapped and the chain is initially in a thermal state. We identify three relevant regimes that depend on the strength of the qubit-chain coupling in relation to the spectral gap. These are (i) the weak-coupling regime, where the qubits are entangled at the asymptotics, (ii) the strong-coupling regime, where the concurrence can exhibit collapses followed by revivals with exponentially attenuated amplitude, and (iii) the thermal damping regime, where the concurrence rapidly vanishes due to the chain's thermal excitations. In all cases, if entanglement is generated, this occurs after a finite time has elapsed. This time scale depends exponentially on the qubits' distance and is determined by the spectral properties of the chain. Entanglement irreversible decay, on the other hand, is due to the dissipative effect induced by the coupling with the chain and is controlled by the coupling strength between the chain and qubits. This study unravels the basic mechanisms leading to entanglement in a non-Markovian bath and allows one to identify the key resources for realizing quantum coherent dynamics of open systems.
Understanding the dynamical behavior of a qubit in a reservoir is critical to applications in quantum technological protocols, ranging from quantum computation to quantum metrology. The effect of the reservoir depends on the reservoir's spectral structure as well as on the qubit-reservoir coupling strength. We here propose a measure for quantifying the non-Markovian effect of a reservoir with a Lorentzian spectrum, based on the maximum qubit-reservoir quantum entanglement that can be extracted. Numerical simulation shows that this entanglement exhibits a monotonous behavior in response to the variation of the coupling strength. We confirm the validity of this measure with an experiment where a superconducting qubit is controllably coupled to a lossy resonator, which acts as a reservoir for the qubit. The experimental results illustrate that the maximal extractable entanglement is progressively increased with the strengthening of non-Markovianity.
Preventing quantum entanglement from decoherence effect is of theoretical and practical importance in the quantum information processing technologies. In this regard, we consider the entanglement dynamics of two identical qubits where the qubits which are coupled to two independent (Markovian and/or non-Markovian) as well as a common reservoir at zero temperature are further interacted with a classical driving laser field. Then, we study the preservation of generated two-qubit entanglement in various situations using the concurrence measure. It is shown that by applying the classical driving field and so the possibility of controlling the Rabi frequency, the amount of entanglement of the two-qubit system is improved in the off-resonance condition between the qubit and the central cavity frequencies (central detuning) in both non-Markovian and Markovian reservoirs. While the central detuning has a constructive role, the detuning between the qubit and the classical field (laser detuning) affects negatively on the entanglement protection. The obtained results show that long-living entanglement in the non-Markovian reservoir is more accessible than in the Markovian reservoir. We demonstrate that, in a common reservoir non-zero stationary entanglement is achievable whenever the two-qubit system is coupled to the reservoir with appropriate values of relative coupling strengths.
