Abstract

Abstract We study the dissipative stabilization of entangled states in arrays of quantum systems. Specifically, we are interested in the states of qubits (spin- 1 / 2 ) which may or may not interact with one or more cavities (bosonic modes). In all cases only one element, either a cavity or a qubit, is lossy and irreversibly coupled to a reservoir. When the lossy element is a cavity, we consider a squeezed reservoir and only interactions which conserve the number of cavity excitations. Instead, when the lossy element is a qubit, pure decay and a properly selected structure of XY-interactions are taken into account. We show that in all cases, in the steady state, many pairs of distant, non-directly interacting qubits, which cover the whole array, can get entangled in a stationary way, by means of the interplay of dissipation and local interactions.

Stabilizing volume-law entangled states of fermions and qubits using local dissipation

Andrew Pocklington, Yuxin Wang, Yariv Yanay +1 more

We analyze a general method for the dissipative preparation and stabilization of volume-law entangled states of fermionic and qubit lattice systems in one dimension (and higher dimensions for fermions). Our approach requires minimal resources: nearest-neighbor Hamiltonian interactions that obey a suitable chiral symmetry, and the realization of just a single, spatially localized dissipative pairing interaction. In the case of a qubit array, the dissipative model we study maps to an interacting fermionic problem. Nonetheless, we analytically show the existence of a unique pure entangled steady state (a so-called rainbow state). Our ideas are compatible with a number of experimental platforms, including superconducting circuits and trapped ions.

Long-Range Coherence and Multiple Steady States in a Lossy Qubit Array

Shovan Dutta, Nigel R. Cooper

We show that a simple experimental setting of a locally pumped and lossy array of two-level quantum systems can stabilize states with strong long-range coherence. Indeed, by explicit analytic construction, we show there is an extensive set of steady-state density operators, from minimally to maximally entangled, despite this being an interacting open many-body problem. Such nonequilibrium steady states arise from a hidden symmetry that stabilizes Bell pairs over arbitrarily long distances, with unique experimental signatures. We demonstrate a protocol by which one can selectively prepare these states using dissipation. Our findings are accessible in present-day experiments.

Entanglement in a driven two-qubit system coupled to common cavity

Amit Dey

A system, comprised of a qubit pair coupled to a common cavity, is studied with the aim of establishing qubit entanglement. This study is the sequel of the paper Phys. Rev. A 111, 043705 (2025), where similar model was investigated for an initially vacuum cavity. In the present manuscript the cavity with finite initial occupancy is considered and the effect of asymmetric qubit cavity couplings is investigated. For a closed system scenario, the ratio of the qubit-cavity couplings shows a threshold beyond which no maximally-entangled qubit state is available. The threshold value is shown to depend on the excitation level of the cavity. For a driven-dissipative case steady state entanglement is shown to depend non-monotonically on the qubit drive. Intricate interplay of drive, dissipation, and coupling asymmetry is shown to be pivotal for steady-state entanglement generation.

Dissipation and entanglement dynamics for two interacting qubits coupled to independent reservoirs

M Scala, Rosanna Migliore, A Messina

We derive the master equation of a system of two coupled qubits by taking into account their interaction with two independent bosonic baths. Important features of the dynamics are brought to light, such as the structure of the stationary state at general temperatures and the behaviour of the entanglement at zero temperature, showing the phenomena of sudden death and sudden birth as well as the presence of stationary entanglement for long times. The model here presented is quite versatile and can be of interest in the study of both Josephson junction architectures and cavity-QED.

Stationary states of a dissipative two-qubit quantum channel and their applications for quantum machine learning

Ebrahim Ghasemian

Abstract Entangled state preparation and preservation are the cornerstones of any quantum information platform. However , the strongest adversaries in quantum information science are unwanted environmental effects such as decoherence and dissipation. Here, we address how to control and harness the dissipation that arises from the coupling of a system with its environment, to provide stationary entangled states for quantum machine learning. To do so, we design a dissipative quantum channel, i.e., a two-qubit system interacting with a squeezed vacuum field reservoir, and study the output state of the channel by solving the corresponding master equation, especially, in the small squeezing regime. We show that the time-dependent output state of the channel is the so-called two-qubit X-states that generalize many families of entangled two-qubit states. Also, by considering a general Bell diagonal state as the initial state of the system we reveal that this dissipative channel generates two well-known classes of entangled mixed state and Werner-like states in the steady-state regime. Moreover, this channel provides an efficient way to determine whether a given initial state results in a stationary entangled state or not. Finally, we examine the potential application of the designed two-qubit channel for quantum machine learning. Integrating the non-unitary transformation of the two-qubit channel and parallel-processed neural computing establishes the requirements for a meaningful quantum neural network.

One-way quantum state transfer in a lossy coupled-cavity array

Dongxiao Li, Xian-Miao Liao, Xiao‐Qiang Shao

Quantum state transfer plays an important role in quantum information processing, and it has been obtained many of the theoretical and experimental triumphs. But designing a dissipation-assisted scheme to transfer a quantum state is still by no means trivial. Here we put forward an easier scheme to dissipatively transfer an arbitrary quantum state from a sender to a receiver with two four-level atoms and three lasers in a lossy coupled-cavity array, and make the quantum state stable at the receiver via the photon loss of optical cavities. Owing to the assistance of the dissipation, the target state becomes the steady state of the whole process. Thus there is no requirement on external time-dependent controls. Furthermore, the atomic spontaneous emission can be significantly suppressed as the adiabatic elimination of the excited states. We also discuss the experimental feasibility of this scheme with the current experimental technologies and a high fidelity of the transferred state in the receiver can be above 98%.
