Entanglement between charge qubits induced by a common dissipative environment

L. Debora Contreras-Pulido, Ramón Aguado

We study entanglement generation between two charge qubits due to the strong coupling with a common bosonic environment (Ohmic bath). The coupling to the boson bath is a source of both quantum noise (leading to decoherence) and an indirect interaction between qubits. As a result, two effects compete as a function of the coupling strength with the bath: entanglement generation and charge localization induced by the bath. These two competing effects lead to a nonmonotonic behavior of the concurrence as a function of the coupling strength with the bath and, importantly, to steady-state entanglement. As an application, we present results for charge qubits based on double quantum dots.

Decoherence of coherent electronic excited state in the reaction center of the photosynthetic purple bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides

Xian-Ting Liang, Wei-Min Zhang, Yizhong Zhuo

In this paper, we present a theoretical description to the quantum coherence and decoherence phenomena of energy transfer in photosynthesis observed in a recent experiment [see Science 316, 1462 (2007)]. As a successive two-color laser pulses with selected frequencies cast on a sample of the photosynthetic purple bacterium Rb. sphaeroides two resonant excitations of electrons in chromophores can be generated. However, this effective two-level subsystem will interact with its protein environment and decoherence is inevitable. We describe this subsystem coupled with its environment as a dynamical spin-boson model. The non-Markovian decoherence dynamics is described using a quasi-adiabatic propagator path integral (QUAPI) approach. With the photon-induced effective time-dependent level splitting energy and level flip coupling coefficient between the two excited states and the environment-induced non-Markovian decoherence dynamics, our theoretical result is in good agreement with the experimental data.

Witnessing environment induced topological phase transitions via quantum Monte Carlo and cluster perturbation theory studies

Fabrizio Pavan, ANTONIO DE CANDIA, G. Di Bello +4 more

Many-body interactions play a crucial role in quantum topological systems, being able to impact or alter the topological classifications of noninteracting fermion systems. In open quantum systems, where interactions with the environment cause dissipation and decoherence of the fermionic dynamics, the absence of Hermiticity in the subsystem Hamiltonian drastically reduces the stability of the topological phases of the corresponding closed systems. Here we investigate the nonperturbative effects induced by the environment on the prototype Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chain coupled to local harmonic oscillator baths through either intracell or intercell transfer integrals. Despite the common view, this type of coupling, if suitably engineered, can even induce a transition to topological phases. By using a world-line quantum Monte Carlo technique we determine the phase diagram of the model proving that the bimodality of the probability distribution of the polarization signals the emergence of the topological phase. We show that a qualitative description can be obtained by using an approach based on the cluster perturbation theory providing, in particular, a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian for the fermionic subsystem and insights on the dissipative dynamics. We prove that non-Hermitian effects disappear in the presence of classical heat baths.
