Dynamics and resilience of quantum correlations between two-mode Gaussian states in Gaussian environments

Y. Lahlou, M. Amazioug, Bouchra Maroufi +1 more

Abstract Gaussian states, characterized by probability distributions in phase-space representations, play a fundamental role in quantum information processing. Despite their mathematical tractability, the presence of noise imposes limitations on achieving quantum protocols, impacting their effectiveness in continuous-variable quantum systems for various communication and computation tasks. Hence, investigating quantum entanglement and quantum correlations within the coherence of Gaussian states in noisy channels holds significant importance. In this study, we introduce and investigate a framework designed to precisely define and explore the dynamic evolution of quantum correlations within twomode Gaussian states subjected to the effects of a Gaussian thermal environment. We elucidate the temporal progression of quantum correlations within an open system comprising two interconnected bosonic modes embedded in a Gaussian thermal environment. We explore the impact of the environment by considering the evolution of the initial parameters of the input states. We measure the quantum correlations by employing the quantifiers: the Gaussian logarithmic negativity (GLN) N and the Gaussian quantum discord (GQD) D G . The behavior of these quantum correlation quantifiers is intricately related to the parameters of the input states utilized in the analysis. We demonstrate that the GQD D G serves as an appropriate measurement quantifier in capturing fundamental quantum correlations, outperforming other quantifiers. Furthermore, our findings reveal that the GQD D G exhibits greater resilience compared to GLN N , showing a reduced sensitivity to external influences.

Probing correlations in two-mode bosonic fields via Gaussian noise channels

Huihui Li, Nan Li, Shunlong Luo

Gaussian noise channels arise naturally in many physical situations and play an important role in information transmission involving continuous-variable quantum systems. In this work we employ Gaussian noise channels to probe and characterize correlations in two-mode bosonic fields. Based on the fact that local channels often cause more decoherence for global states than for local states due to correlations, we introduce a notion of conditional coherence relative to a local channel, which is defined as the difference between the global and local decoherence caused by the channel. We discuss its connections with quantum discord and relative quantum Fisher information and propose a class of correlation quantifiers for two-mode bosonic states in terms of conditional coherence relative to local Gaussian noise channels. We prove that any nonproduct state exhibits such correlations and show that these correlation quantifiers are measures of total correlations, which may include both classical and quantum parts. We further illustrate these correlation quantifiers through several typical two-mode bosonic states and make a comparative study between these correlation quantifiers and other known ones such as entanglement and discord.

Quantifying non-Gaussianity of quantum-state correlation

Jiyong Park, Jaehak Lee, Se-Wan Ji +1 more

We consider how to quantify non-Gaussianity for the correlation of a bipartite quantum state by using various measures such as relative entropy and geometric distances. We first show that an intuitive approach, i.e., subtracting the correlation of a reference Gaussian state from that of a target non-Gaussian state, fails to yield a non-negative measure with monotonicity under local Gaussian channels. Our finding clearly manifests that quantum-state correlations generally have no Gaussian extremality. We therefore propose a different approach by introducing relevantly averaged states to address correlation. This enables us to define a non-Gaussianity measure based on, e.g., the trace-distance and the fidelity, fulfilling all requirements as a measure of non-Gaussian correlation. For the case of the fidelity-based measure, we also present readily computable lower bounds of non-Gaussian correlation.

Energy-constrained two-way capacity bounds for noisy Gaussian channels

Stefano Pirandola

A gap between achievable rates and converse bounds persists for energy-constrained bosonic communication in the presence of excess noise. We derive a unified adaptive weak-converse bound for thermal attenuation, noisy amplification, and additive Gaussian noise under an unconditional mean transmitted-photon-number constraint. The bound applies to arbitrary adaptive protocols with quantum memories and constrains the two-way quantum, entanglement-distribution, private, and secret-key capacities. It vanishes throughout the entanglement-breaking region and approaches the corresponding PLOB bound at infinite energy. At finite energy, it improves the evaluated Gaussian squashed-entanglement and PLOB bounds in relevant parameter regimes, while comparison with hashing rates quantifies the remaining gap to achievability. The result provides a common energy-dependent benchmark for noisy bosonic Gaussian channels and extends finite-energy converse methods beyond the quantum-limited setting.
