Abstract

The tripartite quantum Rabi model couples two qubits to a bosonic mode through a collective spin-oscillator interaction, providing a simple setting for studying two-qubit entanglement. In the zero-detuning limit, the triplet part of the spectrum splits into branches with zero and maximal entanglement, while the antisymmetric singlet ladder remains exactly decoupled. Within the triplet sector, finite detuning turns the crossings between these branches into avoided crossings and redistributes this entanglement. We identify an eigenbranch whose entanglement grows from nearly zero to a nearly maximal value through such avoided-crossing mixing. The weak-coupling level ordering yields a simple analytic criterion for whether this eigenbranch has a separable weak-coupling endpoint. A three-state effective model explains how the Bell-state component becomes dominant as the coupling increases. We further use a finite-time linear ramp of the collective coupling to benchmark the final coupling and ramp time required for high Bell-state fidelity. These results show how collective spin-oscillator coupling reorganizes spectral entanglement and connects static branch structure to finite-time Bell-state preparation.

Tripartite quantum Rabi model with trapped Rydberg ions

Thomas Hamlyn, Chi Zhang, Igor Lesanovsky +1 more

We investigate a tripartite quantum Rabi model (TQRM) wherein a bosonic mode concurrently couples to two spin- 1/2 particles through a spin-spin interaction, resulting in a spin-spin-boson coupling—a departure from conventional quantum Rabi models featuring bipartite spin-boson couplings. The symmetries of the TQRM depend on the detuning parameter, representing the energy difference between the spin states. At zero detuning a parity symmetry renders the TQRM reducible to a quantum Rabi model. A subradiant-to-superradiant transition in the ground state is predicted as the tripartite coupling strength increases. For nonzero detuning the total spin emerges as the sole conserved quantity in the TQRM. It is found that superradiance prevails in the ground state as long as the tripartite coupling remains nonzero. We derive the Braak G function of the TQRM analytically, with which the eigenspectra are obtained. The TQRM can be realized in a viable trapped Rydberg ion quantum simulator, where the required tripartite couplings and single-body interactions in the TQRM are naturally present. Our study opens opportunities to explore and create correlations and entanglement in the spin and motional degrees of freedoms with the TQRM. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

Bipartite and tripartite entanglement in the two-qubit quantum Rabi model

毛丽君, Hongmei 红梅 Wang 王, Yaoyao Zhou +1 more

Abstract This study investigates the entanglement dynamics of the two-qubit quantum Rabi model (QRM) with both homogeneous and inhomogeneous couplings using the adiabatic approximation. The quantized field is initially prepared in a coherent state, while a separable state and a maximally entangled Bell state are selected as the initial two-qubit states. We characterize distinct types of entanglement generated among the subsystems through qubit–field interactions, with a focus on the bipartite entanglement between a single qubit and the field. Building on this, we examine tripartite correlations through the I -residual tangle, a measure that conclusively verifies the presence of genuine tripartite entanglement among the two qubits and the field. This work provides insights into the generation of tunable multipartite entanglement and the detection of quantum phase transitions in light–matter systems, such as circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED).

Quantum control of entanglement in coupled spins using shortcuts to adiabaticity and optimal control

Dionisis Stefanatos, Nikos Iliopoulos, Vasilios D. Karanikolas +1 more

We consider a pair of coupled spins with Ising interaction in z-direction and study the problem of generating efficiently the triplet Bell state. We initially analyze the transitionless quantum driving shortcut to adiabaticity method and point out its limitations when the available duration approaches zero. In this short time limit we explicitly calculate the fidelity of the method and find it to be much lower than unity, no matter how large the available control fields become. We find that there is a lower bound on the necessary time to complete this transfer, set by the finite value of the interaction between the spins. We then use numerical optimal control to find bang-bang pulse sequences, as well as, smooth controls, which can generate high levels of the target Bell state in the minimum possible time. Finally, we explain how this method can be adapted for the efficient generation of general quantum entanglement in the system. The results of the present work are not restricted only to spin systems, but is expected to find also applications in other physical systems which can be modeled as interacting spins, such as, for example, coupled quantum dots.

Avoided crossings in spin-boson systems: consequences for adiabatic state preparation

Joona Marjamäki, Robert van Leeuwen, Riku Tuovinen

Avoided crossings in the correlated many-body spectrum play a central role in determining the conditions for adiabatic state preparation in interacting quantum systems. We investigate this connection in finite spin-boson systems by combining exact diagonalization of the many-body spectrum with time-dependent simulations of adiabatic switching protocols. By comparing the adiabatically prepared state with the exact ground state, we determine the switching times required for reliable preparation as a function of the spin-boson coupling strength and bosonic mode structure. We show that regions of small many-body level spacings, associated with avoided crossings, impose the strongest constraints on adiabatic preparation and explain the observed dependence of the required switching times on the interaction strength. Furthermore, while the ground-state energy follows the overall spectral trends, local observables such as Pauli matrix expectation values exhibit additional non-monotonic behavior arising from coherent oscillations in finite systems. These findings can provide concrete benchmarks for both the theoretical treatment of open quantum systems and practical implementations in quantum simulation and qubit control.

Entanglement resonance in the asymmetric quantum Rabi model

Yuqing Shi, Lei Cong, Hans-Peter Eckle

We investigate the entanglement features in the interacting system of a quantized optical field and a two-level system which is statically driven, known as the asymmetric quantum Rabi model (AsymQRM). Intriguing entanglement resonance valleys with the increase of the photon-atom coupling strength and peaks with the increase of the driving amplitude are found. It is revealed that both of these two kinds of entanglement resonance are caused by the avoided level crossing of the associated eigenenergies. In sharp contrast to the quantum Rabi model, the entanglement of the AsymQRM collapses to zero in the strong coupling regime except when the driving amplitude is equal to $m\ensuremath{\omega}/2$, with $m$ being an integer and $\ensuremath{\omega}$ being the photon frequency. Our analysis demonstrates that such entanglement reappearance is induced by the hidden symmetry of the AsymQRM. Supplying an insightful understanding of the AsymQRM, our results will be helpful in exploring the hidden symmetry and in preparing photon-atom entanglement in light-matter coupled systems.

A generalization of the quantum Rabi model: exact solution and spectral structure

Hans-Peter Eckle, Henrik Johannesson

Abstract We consider a generalization of the quantum Rabi model where the two-level system and the single-mode cavity oscillator are coupled by an additional Stark-like term. By adapting a method recently introduced by Braak (2011 Phys. Rev. Lett . 107 100401), we solve the model exactly. The low-lying spectrum in the experimentally relevant ultrastrong and deep strong regimes of the Rabi coupling is found to exhibit two striking features absent from the original quantum Rabi model: avoided level crossings for states of the same parity and an anomalously rapid onset of two-fold near-degenerate levels as the Rabi coupling increases.
