Abstract

The dynamic of correlations in a system composed of a two-mode quantum field coupled with the environment is studied. The quantum field corresponds to two entangled coherent states whose amplitude we vary up to the mesoscopic regime. We show that under the onset of decoherence, correlations in the quantum field are not lost but transferred to the environment. We also found that sudden transitions in the decoherence regimes appear along with the dynamics depending on the coherent states' amplitude. Increasing the amplitude of the entangled coherence state results in the apparition of a metastable decoherence-free subspace (DFS) in the field subsystem, and the transference of classical correlations freezes. This subspace only exists during a time interval that depends on the average number of photons. Interestingly, the reservoir subsystem also experiences the apparition of a DFS. Only quantum correlations are transferred while the DFS exists.

Metastable decoherence-free subspace and pointer states in mesoscopic quantum systems

F. Lastra, C. E. López, J. C. Retamal

Two initially correlated coherent states, each interacting with its own independent dissipative environment, exhibit a sudden transition from classical to quantum decoherence. This change in the dynamics is a turning point in the decoherence in the sense that depending on the average number of photons of each harmonic oscillator, decoherence can even be suppressed. Indeed, the quantum state is time independent for a time span in the mesoscopic regime, revealing a decoherence-free subspace. Furthermore, the absence of decoherence is manifested in the apparition of a metastable pointer-state basis.

Stable and metastable freezing of classical correlations in qutrits

C. E. López, F. Lastra

We study the dynamics of quantum and classical correlations in a two-qutrit system coupled to independent reservoirs. In particular, we address the differences in the dynamics of Markovian and non-Markovian regimes and show that for specific initial states, classical correlations exhibit abrupt changes along the dynamics. A particular sudden change occurs when the classical correlations freeze to a certain value at a given time, revealing the apparition of a pointer-state basis. After this given time, the decoherence only affects quantum correlations. Here we identify two regimes in the decoherence dynamics: a mixed regime when both classical and quantum correlations decay and a quantum regime when only quantum correlations decay. We show that the freezing of classical correlations can be stable or metastable depending on the system-reservoir parameters. In the long-time limit, we find analytical expressions for the pointer-state basis the system settles in and consequently for classical and quantum correlations.

Controlling sudden transition from classical to quantum decoherence via non-equilibrium environments

Abdul Basit, Hamad Ali, Fazal Badshah +2 more

Abstract We investigate the freezing and sudden transition in the dynamical behavior of quantum and classical correlations in a system composed of two identical non-interacting qubits locally subjected to their own non-equilibrium environments. In contrast to the equilibrium case, one can observe striking results when a bipartite quantum system couples with the non-equilibrium dephasing environment with non-stationary and non-Markovian features. Remarkably, the finite time interval in which the quantum correlation remains impervious to decoherence can be further prolonged as the environment deviates from equilibrium. This reveals that the non-equilibrium parameter provides an alternative tool to efficiently control the appearance of a sudden transition in the decay rates of correlations and their immunity towards the decoherence. Furthermore, for certain initial states, the appearance of another time-interval over which quantum correlation remains constant and the revival of classical correlation not only depends on the non-Markovianity but also on the non-equilibrium parameter.

Sudden Transition between Classical and Quantum Decoherence

L. Mazzola, Jyrki Piilo, Sabrina Maniscalco

We study the dynamics of quantum and classical correlations in the presence of nondissipative decoherence. We discover a class of initial states for which the quantum correlations, quantified by the quantum discord, are not destroyed by decoherence for times t<[symbol: see text]. In this initial time interval classical correlations decay. For t>[symbol: see text], on the other hand, classical correlations do not change in time and only quantum correlations are lost due to the interaction with the environment. Therefore, at the transition time [symbol: see text] the open system dynamics exhibits a sudden transition from classical to quantum decoherence regime.

Coherence in a network of two-level systems coupled to a bosonic field

S. Fischer, Heinz‐Peter Breuer

We study the quantum dynamics of an open network of two-level systems which is coupled to a correlated common environment represented by a bosonic field in a thermal equilibrium state. Extensive numerical simulations of the full second-order time-convolutionless quantum master equation for the density matrix of various types of networks are performed, in order to investigate dissipation and decoherence processes and, in particular, their dependence on the spatial separation of the network sites and on the speed of the bosonic field modes. In the limit of an infinite speed the influence of the environment disappears due to the emergence of a decoherence-free subspace, while the limit of zero speed corresponds to the case in which the network sites are coupled to independent reservoirs, a case which is much easier to treat numerically. The main result of the paper is a general intuitive criterion which states that the simpler model of independent reservoirs can be used as long as the network relaxation time is smaller than the time it takes for the modes to travel the minimal distance between the network sites.

System-reservoir dynamics of quantum and classical correlations

Jonas Maziero, T. Werlang, F. F. Fanchini +2 more

We examine the system-reservoir dynamics of classical and quantum correlations in the decoherence phenomenon within a two-qubit composite system interacting with two independent environments. The most common noise channels (amplitude damping, phase damping, bit flip, bit-phase flip, and phase flip) are analyzed. By analytical and numerical analyses we find that, contrary to what is usually stated in the literature, decoherence may occur without entanglement between the system and the environment. We also show that, in some cases, the bipartite quantum correlation initially present in the system is completely evaporated and not transferred to the environments.
