Entanglement degradation of cavity modes due to the dynamical Casimir effect

Abstract

We study the entanglement dynamics between two cavities when one of them is harmonically shaken in the context of quantum information theory. We find four different regimes depending on the frequency of the motion and the spectrum of the moving cavity. If the moving cavity is three dimensional only two modes inside get coupled and the entanglement can either degrade asymptotically with time or oscillate depending on the driving. On the other hand, if the cavity has an equidistant spectrum the entanglement can either vanish asymptotically if it is driven with its fundamental frequency or have a sudden death if it is driven with an uneven harmonic frequency.

Sudden Death of Entanglement Between Coupled Quantum Dots in a Cavity

Arnab Mitra, Hsiao-harng Shiau, Reeta Vyas

We study generation and time evolution of entanglement between two coupled quantum dots inside a driven cavity. In the presence of dissipation the entanglement may remain stationary, decay asymptotically, or show sudden death.

Time evolution of entanglement and bistability of two coupled quantum dots in a driven cavity

Hsiao-harng Shiau, Arnab Mitra, Reeta Vyas

The time evolution of entanglement between two quantum dots (QDs) trapped inside a cavity driven by a coherent quantized field is studied. In the presence of dissipation, entanglement shows many interesting features such as sudden death and revival, and finite steady state value after sudden death. We also investigate dependence of entanglement on dot variables and its relation to bistability. It is found that entanglement vanishes when the cavity field intensity approaches the upper branch of the bistability curve. When the cavity is driven by a modulated field in the presence of dissipation, it can periodically generate entanglement, which is much larger than the maximum value attained in the steady-state for this system but the dots are never fully entangled.

Dynamics of entanglement between field modes in a one-dimensional cavity with a vibrating boundary

Mauro Antonio ANDREATA, V. V. Dodonov

We study the dynamics of the coefficient of quantum separability between resonantly coupled modes of the massless scalar field in a one-dimensional ideal cavity, whose boundary performs small harmonic oscillations at the frequency ω w = p ω 1 (where ω 1 is the fundamental field eigenfrequency). A qualitative difference between the cases p = 1 and p = 2 is discovered. In the first case, initially factorized thermal states remain separable in the process of evolution, whereas the dynamics of entanglement of initial entangled states (modelled by two-mode squeezed states ) turns out to be more intricate, showing sudden changes from ‘classical’ to ‘nonclassical’ regimes. In contrast, in the ‘principal resonance case’ p = 2 the degree of entanglement changes with time monotonically, and any initially factorized thermal states go asymptotically to mixed quantum states with maximal degree of entanglement. Moreover, for highly thermalized states, the time dependence of the separability coefficient exhibits sharp jumps, which are, nonetheless, not correlated with time dependences of the energies of the field modes.

Entanglement dynamics of two distant atoms in two detuning cavities

Xin Ji, Tianquan Lü, Shou Zhang

We investigate the entanglement dynamics via the concurrence of two distant atoms interacting off-resonantly with two cavity fields in Fock states, respectively. We find that the evolution of entanglement has sudden death and sudden birth phenomena, that with the increase of photon numbers in the two cavities, the alternate frequency of sudden death and sudden birth turns fast, and that the amplitude of concurrence oscillates regularly with oscillation frequency becoming slow when the cavity fields have the same photon numbers. While, the maximum of concurrence declines and the amplitude of concurrence oscillates irregularly when the two cavity fields have different photon numbers. In addition, we find the length of death time is dependent on the initial entanglement.

ENTANGLEMENT OF RESONANTLY COUPLED FIELD MODES IN CAVITIES WITH VIBRATING BOUNDARIES

Mauro Antonio ANDREATA, Alexandre V. Dodonov, V. V. Dodonov +1 more

We study time dependence of various measures of entanglement (covariance entanglement coefficient, purity entanglement coefficient, normalized distance coefficient, entropy coefficients) between resonantly coupled modes of the electromagnetic field in ideal cavities with oscillating boundaries. Two types of cavities are considered — a three-dimensional cavity possessing eigenfrequencies ω3 = 3ω1, whose wall oscillates at the frequency ωw = 2ω1, and a one-dimensional (Fabry–Perot) cavity with an equidistant spectrum ωn = nω1 where the distance between perfect mirrors oscillates at the frequencies ω1 and 2ω1. The behavior of entanglement measures in these cases turns out to be completely different, although all three coefficients demonstrate qualitatively similar time dependences in each case (except some specific situations where the covariance entanglement coefficient based on traces of covariance submatrices seems to be essentially more sensitive to entanglement than other measures, which are based on determinants of covariance submatrices). Different initial states of the field, namely, vacuum, squeezed vacuum, thermal, Fock, and even/odd coherent states, are considered.

ENTANGLEMENT DYNAMICS MODULATED BY COUPLING STRENGTH IN CAVITY QED

Zhong‐Xiao Man, SU FANG, Yun‐Jie Xia

We study the dynamics of entanglement for a four-qubit system in cavity QED. Two initially entangled atoms A and B are coupled respectively with spatially separate cavities a and b with coupling strengths gA and gB. We show that when gA ≠ gB, the entanglement will oscillate in the period of entanglement sudden death (ESD) for gA = gB, and the oscillation times are related to the ratios between gA and gB. Also, we show that the coupling strengths have the same effects on the entanglement evolution and energy transfer.
