Driving controlled entanglement in coupled flux qubits

Abstract

We study the manipulation of quantum entanglement by periodic external fields. As an entanglement measure we compute numerically the concurrence of two flux qubits coupled inductively and/or capacitively, both driven by a dc+ac magnetic flux. Also we find an analytical lower bound for the concurrence, where the dominant terms correspond to the concurrence in the Floquet states. We show that it is possible to create or destroy entanglement in a controlled way by tuning the system at or near multiphoton resonances. We find that when the driving term of the Hamiltonian does not commute with the qubit-qubit interaction term, the control of the entanglement induced by the driving field is more robust in parameter space. This implies that capacitively coupled two flux qubits are more convenient for controlling entanglement through ac driving fluxes.

Controlling entanglement in the interferometry of driven coupled flux qubits

Ana Laura Gramajo, Daniel Domı́nguez, María José Sánchez

We study the manipulation of quantum entanglement by periodic external fields in the Landau-Zener-Stuckelberg interferometry of coupled flux qubits. As an entanglement measure we compute numerically the concurrence of two coupled flux qubits, both driven by a dc+ac magnetic flux. We show that it is possible to create or destroy entanglement in a controlled way by tuning the system at or near multiphoton resonances.

Dissipation entanglement control of two coupled qubits via strong driving fields

M. V. Bastrakova, V. O. Munyaev

An analytical theory to calculate the dissipatively stable concurrence in the system of two coupled flux superconducting qubits in the strong driving field is developed. The conditions for the entanglement state generation and destruction during the formation of the multiphoton transitions regions due to the interference of Landau--Zener--Stückelberg--Majorana are found. Based on the solution of the Floquet--Markov equation, the technique is proposed to adjust the amplitudes of dc- and ac-fields for effective control of the entanglement between qubit states while taking into account the effects of the decoherence.

Control of entanglement of two coupled flux qubits by a non-resonant driving field

M. V. Bastrakova, V. O. Munyaev

We study entanglement and multiphoton transitions in a system of coupled superconducting flux qubits under the action of an alternating drving field (the frequency of the external field is much higher than the frequency of qubit transitions). The positions of multiphoton transitions are found within the framework of the quasi-energy representation and the Floquet perturbation theory. It is shown that by tuning the external control field, it is possible to control the positions of the resonances and the measure of entanglement in the system. The influence of dissipation processes on multiphoton interference effects is studied.

Floquet Entanglement Generation in Parametrically Driven Coupled Superconducting Qubits

Gustavo M. Meneses A., Daniel Dominguez, María José Sánchez

We investigate the dynamical generation of entanglement in a system of two superconducting qubits coupled through a parametrically driven longitudinal interaction. Using Floquet theory and exact numerical simulations, we analyze the time evolution of the system initialized in a separable ground state. Our results reveal a nontrivial mechanism for entanglement generation, fundamentally distinct from the conventional resonant excitation to an entangled eigenstate. We show that this mechanism emerges when two initially separable eigenstates are mixed by the periodic driving under multiphoton resonance conditions. Since the effect cannot be captured within a standard rotating-wave approximation, we employ generalized Van Vleck near-degenerate perturbation theory to derive an effective analytical description. Within this framework, we demonstrate that the sustained entanglement originates from the hybridization of the dominant Floquet states, namely those with the largest overlap with the initial ground state. Furthermore, the degree of entanglement can be efficiently controlled through the driving amplitude. In particular, for specific amplitudes, the entanglement is fully suppressed. We term this phenomenon as coherent destruction of entanglement.

Floquet Engineering of Two Weakly Coupled Superconducting Flux Qubits

Wan-Lu Song, Jia-Bin You, J.K. Xu +2 more

We explore the periodically driven dynamics of two weakly coupled flux qubits and propose a scheme to generate a maximally entangled state based on Floquet engineering. The periodic driving modifies the quasienergy spectrum of the system and induces crossing of quasienergies, and the weak coupling between them lifts the degeneracy of quasienergies. It is found that the phenomena of entanglement resonance of Floquet state appear at certain values of the driving parameters, which could be demonstrated by virtue of the Rabi-frequency spectrum and average concurrence during one driving period. Our scheme relaxes the experimental difficulty in adjusting the static parameters of the system to establish entanglement, and may open interesting perspectives for devising active decoherence-immune quantum-information devices.

Amplitude tuning of steady-state entanglement in strongly driven coupled qubits

Ana Laura Gramajo, Daniel Domı́nguez, María José Sánchez

We report a mechanism to generate dissipative steady-state entanglement in coupled solid-state qubits driven by strong periodic fields. We demonstrate that steady entanglement can be induced and tuned by changing the amplitude of the driving field. A rich dynamic behavior with creation, death, and revival of entanglement can be observed near multiphoton resonances. Coupled superconducting qubits are good candidates for the observation of these effects.
