Quantum correlations in two-level atomic system over Herring-Flicker coupling

Abstract

We study the thermal quantum correlations in tripartite atomic system under the existence of Herring-Flicker (HF) coupling among the atoms. We explore two topologically distinct configurations of three coupled two-level atoms, viz., loop and line, differing in their coupling pattern. Further, the systems having asymmetric arrangement of atoms are quantum mechanically correlated more strongly than systems having symmetric arrangements. The variable nature of HF coupling leads to the increase of both concurrence and discord from zero to a saturation value from where they decrease to zero as a function of inter-atomic distance. Further separation leads to both the quantities attaining another saturation value. This controlled correlations play an important role in the design of quantum data buses that can transfer quantum states to establish quantum communication. The systems coupled via HF coupling will be efficient for this task as they are maximally entangled in parametrically controlled manner. Thus, these systems will be propitious for various quantum protocols such as secure communication, quantum cryptography, quantum key distribution etc.

Temperature dependent quantum correlations in three dipolar coupled two-level atoms

Shaik Liyakhath Ahmed

We investigate the thermal entanglement characteristics of three dipole-coupled two-level atoms arranged in two different configurations - in a line with nearest neighbour coupling and in a closed loop with each atom interacting with both its neighbours. It is observed that in loop configuration, any one of the three atoms is indeed entangled with the other two atoms in the system, which are not mutually entangled, and further that this feature is specific to only the loop configuration, which is markedly absent in the line configuration. A detailed study of the quantum correlations demonstrated how these can be tuned by varying the temperature and the dipole dipole coupling strength, in both the configurations.

Dynamics of quantum correlations in two 2-level atoms coupled to thermal reservoirs

Zakaria Dahbi, Mostafa Mansour, Abderrahim El Allati

Abstract In this paper, we examine the dynamics of quantum correlations in two noninteractive two-level atoms coupled to two separate identical thermal reservoirs. The two atoms are initially produced in a Gisin state, which is a blend of a maximally entangled two-qubit state and a separable mixed state. Quantum entanglement is measured by logarithmic negativity, while the nonclassical correlations are characterized by trace distance discord and local quantum uncertainty. Using the mean photon number of reservoirs and spontaneous emission rates of atoms as inputs, we explore how these quantum resources behave. Consequently, we demonstrate that the dynamics of quantum entanglement and quantum correlations depend upon the parameters driving the system. Significantly, we further demonstrate that specific parameters may be tweaked to preserve the quantum resources in the system. The results give a full grasp of the quantum features of such a two-level atomic system, showing capabilities to construct quantum technology.

Correlated photons of desired characteristics from a dipole coupled three-atom system

Mithilesh K. Parit, Shaik Liyakhath Ahmed, Sourabh Singh +2 more

We demonstrate that light quanta of well defined characteristics can be generated in a coupled two-level system of three atoms. The quantum nature of light is controlled by the entanglement structure, discord, and monogamy of the system which leads to sub and superradiant behavior as well as sub-Poissonian statistics, at lower temperatures. Two distinct phases with different entanglement characteristics are observed with uniform radiation in one case and the other displaying highly focused and anisotropic radiation in far field regime. At higher temperatures, sub and superradiant light is found to persist in the absence of entanglement but with non-zero quantum discord, showing bunching of photons. It is shown that the radiation intensity can be a precise estimator of the inter-atomic distance of coupled two-level atomic systems. Our investigation shows for the first time, the three body correlation in the form of `monogamy score' controlling sub and superradiant nature of radiation intensity.

Steady-state correlations of two atoms interacting with a reservoir

Luis Octavio Castanos

We consider two two-level atoms fixed at different positions, driven by a resonant monochromatic laser field, and interacting collectively with the quantum electromagnetic field. A Born-Markov-secular master equation is used to describe the dynamics of the two atoms and the steady-state is obtained analytically for a configuration of the atoms. The steady-state populations of the energy levels of the free atoms, entanglement, quantum and geometric discords and degree of mixedness are calculated analytically as a function of the laser field intensity and the distance between the two atoms. It is found that there is a possibility of considerable steady-state entanglement and left/right quantum discord and that these can be controlled either by increasing/decreasing the intensity of the laser field or by increasing/decreasing the distance between atoms. It is shown that the system of two atoms can be prepared in a separable mixed state with non-zero quantum discord that turns into an $X$-state for high laser field intensities. The behavior and relationships between the different correlations are studied and several limiting cases are investigated.

Quantum correlations between each two-level system in a pair of atoms and general coherent fields

S. Abdel‐Khalek, K. Berrada, Sadah Abdullah Alkhateeb

The quantitative description of the quantum correlations between each two-level system in a two-atom system and the coherent fields initially defined in a coherent state in the framework of power-law potentials (PLPCSs) is considered. Specifically, we consider two atoms locally interacting with PLPCSs and take into account the different terms of interactions, the entanglement and quantum discord are studied including the time-dependent coupling and photon transition effects. Using the monogamic relation between the entanglement of formation and quantum discord in tripartite systems, we show that the control and preservation of the different kinds of quantum correlations greatly benefit from the combination of the choice of the physical quantities. Finally, we explore the link between the dynamical behavior of quantum correlations and nonclassicality of the fields with and without atomic motion effect.

Preservation and enhancement of quantum correlations under Stark effect

Nitish Kumar Chandra, Rajiuddin Sk, Prasanta Kumar Panigrahi

We analyse the dynamics of quantum correlations by obtaining the exact expression of Bures distance entanglement, trace distance discord, and local quantum uncertainty of two two-level atoms. Here, the atoms undergo two-photon transitions mediated through an intermediate virtual state where each atom is separately coupled to a dissipative reservoir at zero temperature in the presence of the Stark shift effect. We have investigated the dynamics of this atomic system for two different initial conditions of the environment. In the first case, we have assumed the environment's state to be in ground state and in the other case, we have assumed the state to be in the first excited state. The second initial condition is significant as it shows the role played by both the Stark shift parameters in contrast to only one of the Stark shift parameters for the first initial condition. Our results demonstrate that quantum correlations can be sustained for an extended period in the presence of Stark shift effect in the case of both Markovian and non-Markovian reservoirs. The effect in the non-Markovian reservoir is more prominent than the Markovian reservoir, even for a very small value of the Stark shift parameter. We observe that among the correlation measures considered, only local quantum uncertainty is accompanied by a sudden change phenomenon, i.e. an abrupt change in the decay rate of a correlation measure. Our findings are significant as preserving quantum correlations is one of the essential aspects in attaining optimum performance in quantum information tasks.
