Quantum entanglement of multiple excitons in strained graphene

Abstract

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.

Quantum entanglement between excitons in two-dimensional materials

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

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.

Correlations in twisted double-layer graphene with virtual photons in a microcavity

Facundo Arreyes, Federico Escudero, Juan Sebastián Ardenghi

Abstract We analyze the entanglement generation of a system composed of two decoupled rotated graphene layers inside a planar microcavity. By considering the electromagnetic field of the cavity in the vacuum state and using time-dependent perturbation theory it is possible to obtain the range of geometric parameters at which the quantum states of electrons in different layers are entangled. By employing the negativity measure, correlations between layers are obtained for time scales smaller than the light-crossing time of the layers. It is shown that the negativity measure is modulated by the rotation angle between layers, allowing manipulation of X states. Finally, an experimental protocol is analyzed in order to detect non-causal effects between layers, by allowing back-voltage switching functions in the two layers with supports that do not overlap in time. By turning off the second-back voltage at a time smaller than the light-crossing time, it is possible to obtain correlations between layers through the independent interaction with virtual photons. The exchange of virtual photons implies that the propagator can be nonzero outside the light cone and this non-causal propagation can create entangled quantum states.

Multipartite entangled states in coupled quantum dots and cavity QED

Xiaoguang Wang, Mang Feng, Barry C. Sanders

We investigate the generation of multipartite entangled state in a system of N quantum dots embedded in a microcavity and examine the emergence of genuine multipartite entanglement by three different characterizations of entanglement. At certain times of dynamical evolution one can generate multipartite entangled coherent exciton states or multiqubit W states by initially preparing the cavity field in a superposition of coherent states or the Fock state with one photon, respectively. Finally, we study environmental effects on multipartite entanglement generation and find that the decay rate for the entanglement is proportional to the number of excitons.

Two-qubit entanglement dynamics under strong light-matter coupling near a graphene nanodisk

Nikos Iliopoulos, Ioannis Thanopulos, Emmanuel Paspalakis +1 more

In this work, we theoretically analyze the population and entanglement dynamics for two identical qubits interacting with a graphene nanodisk. We consider qubits with various free-space decay rates in order to study how the coupling strength influences the dynamics of our composite system, as well as their entanglement evolution as quantified by concurrence. We find that for relatively large free-space decay rates, the population dynamics of each qubit features Rabi oscillations, while for smaller decay rates it exhibits a complex behavior, which nevertheless can be understood by semianalytical expressions using the sub- and superradiant states of the system. Additionally, we observe phenomena, such as population and entanglement trapping, induced by the strong interaction of the qubits with the graphene nanodisk, with trapping values depending solely on the initial conditions of the two qubits. Lastly, we compare our results with those obtained in the case of the two qubits interacting independently with a graphene nanodisk.

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.
