Abstract

We investigate the quantum entanglement of systems of coupled harmonic oscillators on the basis of thermo-field dynamics (TFD). For coupled harmonic oscillators at equilibrium, the extended entanglement entropy is derived using the TFD method, and it is demonstrated to be controlled by temperature and coupling parameters. For non-equilibrium systems, in addition to temperature and coupling parameters, the time dependence of the extended entanglement entropy is calculated in accordance with the dissipative von Neumann equation, and the dissipative dynamics of the systems of coupled harmonic oscillators is discussed. Consequently, based on TFD, the physical parametrization of the entanglement entropies is confirmed in both the equilibrium and non-equilibrium cases of harmonic oscillator systems by means of the laws of thermodynamics.

Quantum entanglement of Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillators

Hristo Dimov, Stefan Mladenov, Radoslav C. Rashkov +1 more

We study the quantum entanglement of coupled Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillators using the formalism of thermo-field dynamics. The entanglement entropy is computed for the specific cases of two and a ring of $N$ coupled Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillators of fourth order. It is shown that the entanglement entropy depends on the temperatures, frequencies and coupling parameters of the different degrees of freedom corresponding to harmonic oscillators. We also make remarks on the appearance of instabilities of higher-derivative oscillators in the context of AdS/CFT correspondence. Finally, we advert to the information geometry theory by calculating the Fisher information metric for the considered system of coupled oscillators.

The Thermo-field Dynamics Method for Electron with Two-mode Electromagnetic Field

Ahlem Abidi

The quick progress in quantum entanglement research allows us not one to study quantum systems down to N-bodies but also to take a new look at these systems in different branches of physics; particularly the statistical thermodynamics where the application of the thermo-field dynamics (TFD) method to the investigation of entanglement is fruitful. Because the traditional methods based on the identification of a specific parameter show their limit. The process using (TFD) facilitates the understanding of entanglement because it focuses directly on the eigenstate of the system and it is useful in the equilibrium and the non-equilibrium states also. In this context, the (TFD) method is used in this paper to analyze entanglement of an electron interacting with a two-mode electromagnetic field assimilated to an electron with two harmonic oscillators. Entanglement entropies are derived between concerned, not concerned harmonic oscillator and electron compute when the system is in a thermodynamic equilibrium and non-equilibrium state. For the equilibrium case, an increase in the number of particles per unit volume increases the quantum entanglement consequently entanglement appears more important for the couple oscillator-electron than the one electron, this trend is reversed for the non-equilibrium case. By respecting the entanglement parameters, such results allow us to know the relative equilibrium state of the overall system.

Coupled harmonic oscillators and their application in the dynamics of entanglement and the nonadiabatic Berry phases

Adel Abidi, A. Trabelsi, S. Krichene

In the dynamic description of physical systems, the two coupled harmonic oscillators’ time-dependent mass, angular frequency, and coupling parameter are recognized as a good working example. We present in this work an analytical treatment with a numerical evaluation of the entanglement and the nonadiabatic Berry phases in the vacuum state. On the basis of an exact resolution of the wave function solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation (TDSE) using the Heisenberg picture approach, we derive the wave function of the two coupled harmonic oscillators. At the logarithmic scale, we derive the entanglement entropies and the temperature. We discuss the existence of the cyclical initial state (CIS) based on an instant Hamiltonian and we obtain the corresponding nonadiabatic Berry phases through a period T. Moreover, we extend the result to the case of N coupled harmonic oscillators. We use the numerical calculation to follow the dynamic evolution of the entanglement in comparison to the time dependance of the nonadiabatic Berry phases and the time dependance of the temperature. For two coupled harmonic oscillators with time-independent mass and angular frequency, the nonadiabatic Berry phases present very slight oscillations with the equivalent period as the period of the entanglement. A second model is composed of two coupled harmonic oscillators with angular frequency, which change initially as well as later. Herein, the entanglement and the temperature exhibit the same oscillatory behavior with exponential increase in temperature.

Entanglement dynamics in short- and long-range harmonic oscillators

M. Ghasemi Nezhadhaghighi, M. A. Rajabpour

We study the time evolution of the entanglement entropy in the short- and long-range-coupled harmonic oscillators that have well-defined continuum limit field theories. We first introduce a method to calculate the entanglement evolution in generic coupled harmonic oscillators after quantum quench. Then we study the entanglement evolution after quantum quench in harmonic systems in which the couplings decay effectively as $1/{r}^{d+\ensuremath{\alpha}}$ with the distance $r$. After quenching the mass from a nonzero value to zero we calculate numerically the time evolution of von Neumann and R\'enyi entropies. We show that for $1<\ensuremath{\alpha}<2$ we have a linear growth of entanglement and then saturation independent of the initial state. For $0<\ensuremath{\alpha}<1$ depending on the initial state we can have logarithmic growth or just fluctuation of entanglement. We also calculate the mutual information dynamics of two separated individual harmonic oscillators. Our findings suggest that in our system there is no particular connection between having a linear growth of entanglement after quantum quench and having a maximum group velocity or generalized Lieb-Robinson bound.
