Quantum entanglement between excitons in two-dimensional materials

Abstract

The quantum entanglement between two excitons in two-dimensional materials, embedded in an optical microcavity, was investigated. The energy eigenstates of a Jaynes-Cummings like Hamiltonian for two qubits coupled to a single cavity mode have been calculated. The quantum entanglement between such states was estimated by calculating the concurrence between two qubits in each of these eigenstates. According to the results of our calculations, if the system is allowed to decay only through the emission of cavity photons at low temperatures, then there is a maximally entangled eigenstate, protected from decay. We demonstrated that the existence of such a state results in the counterintuitive conclusion that, for some initial states of the system, the fact that the cavity is leaky can actually lead to an increase in the average concurrence on the timescales of the average photonic lifetime. By briefly analyzing the three-qubit model, we have demonstrated that the probability for the entanglement to be preserved is enhanced when the number of qubits is increased. In addition, we calculated the time evolution of the concurrence between a pair of excitons in a strained graphene monolayer.

Quantum entanglement of multiple excitons in strained graphene

We studied the effects arising from a coherent source of photons on the entanglement between excitons in a strained graphene monolayer. The graphene layer was considered to be embedded in an imperfect optical microcavity. In our investigation, we have studied the entanglement dynamics of systems consisting of up to five excitons, which are treated as atomic-like qubits. Entangled states of multiple qubits are useful in quantum error correction codes. We have monitored the time evolution of the concurrence, three-$π$, mutual information, and especially the negativity. We have demonstrated that coherent pumping can create lasting entanglement between the excitons. However, the entanglement only persists when the rate at which photons are pumped is smaller than the decay rate of the cavity. Our results show that the degree in entanglement between the excitons is increased with the intensity of the strain-induced pseudomagnetic field in the graphene sheet. Additionally, we have shown that a maximum amount of entanglement occurs at a finite number of excitons in the system which depends on the parameters describing the structure.

Long-lived quantum entanglement of multiple qubits: Excitons in strained graphene

Gabriel P. Martins, Oleg L. Berman, Godfrey A. Gumbs +1 more

We investigate the entanglement dynamics of systems consisting of up to five qubits coupled to an optical microcavity. This is depicted by a system of excitons in strained graphene. We numerically calculate the time evolution of multiple entanglement monotones in such systems when subjected to a coherent source of photons (e.g., a laser). We propose a different way of estimating the total amount of quantum entanglement contained within a multipartite system based on the negativity which we refer to as total negativity, and to which we give clear upper and lower bounds for this quantity. We compared the results for a system of excitons in strained graphene along with two other systems which can be described by the same Hamiltonian as that for superconducting qubits coupled to a waveguide, and for trapped Rb atoms. We have shown that, depending on the physical parameters of the system, a reasonable amount of long-living entanglement can be created between the qubits. This entanglement is exempt from decay as long as the systems are being continuously pumped with coherent photons. We have reached the interesting conclusion that freely adding new qubits to the system does not, in general, increase the overall amount of entanglement created by the dynamics: there exist an optimum number of system qubits which depend on the Rabi coupling as well as the cavity decay rate for maximal entanglement. We believe that such systems are good candidates for the generation of resilient sets of long-lived partially entangled states suitable for experiments in entanglement distillation.

Dynamics of excitonic entanglement in a system of two quantum dots coupled to cavity field

Kehui Song

The dynamical behaviors of the entanglement for the excitons in a system of two coupled quantum dots and a single-mode cavity field are investigated for two different initial conditions by means of the concurrence.It is shown that the direct coupling between the dots can reduce the degree of the entanglement for the excitons.For the initial cavity field being in the odd-coherent state,the degree of their entanglement decreases with the increase of the coherent intensity of cavity field.There is a trade-off for excitonic entanglement when cavity field is initially prepared in the even-coherent state.The relation between the average photon numbers of cavity field and quasi-maximally entangled excitonic coherent states is studied.

Entanglement dynamics of two independent cavity-embedded quantum dots

Bruno Bellomo, Giuseppe Compagno, Rosario Lo Franco +2 more

We investigate the dynamical behavior of entanglement in a system made of two solid-state emitters, as two quantum dots, embedded in two separated microcavities. In these solid-state systems, in addition to the coupling with the cavity mode, the emitter is coupled to a continuum of leaky modes providing additional losses and is also subjected to a phonon-induced pure dephasing mechanism. We model this physical configuration as a multipartite system composed of two independent parts each containing a qubit embedded in a single-mode cavity, exposed to cavity losses, spontaneous emission and pure dephasing. We study the time evolution of entanglement of this multipartite open system, finally applying this theoretical framework to the case of currently available solid-state quantum dots in microcavities.

Dynamics of entanglement for coherent excitonic states in a system of two coupled quantum dots and cavity QED

Yu-xi Liu, Şahin Kaya Özdemir, Masato Koashi +1 more

The dynamics of the entanglement for coherent excitonic states in the system of two, coupled, large semiconductor quantum dots ${(R/a}_{B}\ensuremath{\gg}1)$ mediated by a single-mode cavity field is investigated. Maximally entangled coherent excitonic states can be generated by cavity field initially prepared in odd coherent state. The entanglement of the excitonic coherent states between two dots reaches maximum when no photon is present in the cavity. The effects of the zero-temperature environment on the entanglement of excitonic coherent state are also studied using the concurrence for two subsystems of the excitons.

Generation and evolution of entanglement in coupled quantum dots interacting with a quantized cavity field

Arnab Mitra, Reeta Vyas, Daniel B. Erenso

The generation of entanglement between two identical, interacting quantum dots---initially in ground states---by a coherent field and the subsequent time evolution of the entanglement are studied by calculating the concurrence between the two dots. The results predict that while it is possible to generate entanglement (or entanglement of formation, as defined for a mixed state) between the two dots, at no time do the dots become fully entangled to each other or is a maximally entangled Bell state ever achieved. We also observe that the degree of entanglement increases with an increase in the photon number inside the cavity and a decrease in the dot-photon coupling. The behavior of the two-dot system, initially prepared in an entangled state and interacting with thermal light, is also studied.
