Abstract

We investigate quantum steering and nonlocal correlations between two electrons in a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) as functions of Rashba spin-orbit interaction (RSOI) strength and inter-electron separation. We focus particularly on the Bi/Ag(111) system characterized by its strong RSOI ($α_0 = 3.05\times10^{-11}$ eV~m), and we explore the influence of tuning intensity of RSOI and inter-electron distance on the dynamics of Bell nonlocality, uncertainty-induced nonlocality and steering. We find that, although increasing $α_R$ initially suppresses quantum correlations, all three metrics exhibit a non-monotonic recovery as functions of $α_R$, peaking near an optimal coupling strength $α_R = 4.32\times10^{-11}$~eV~m across the range of inter-electron separations considered. This finding establishes RSOI as a critical control parameter for stabilizing quantum properties in two-dimensional electron gases against the decay of quantum correlations with inter-electron separation, and shows that the suppression and recovery of quantum resources within the Bi/Ag(111) system can be controlled by adjusting the inter-electron distance and carefully tuning the RSOI strength.

Non-classical correlations and coherence in a two-dimensional electron gas under the influence of Rashba spin–orbit coupling

This investigation delves into the dynamics of quantum correlations and coherence within a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) system, taking into account the influence of Rashba spin–orbit coupling (SOC). We utilize metrics such as logarithmic negativity ([Formula: see text]), local quantum uncertainty (LQU ([Formula: see text])), and relative entropy of coherence ([Formula: see text]) to specifically assess these quantum resources among electron spins within non-interacting electron gases. Our study investigates how the separation distance (R) between electrons and the intensity of Rashba SOC ([Formula: see text]), impact the behavior of quantum properties within the 2DEG system. We find that specific strengths of Rashba SOC can effectively regulate quantum correlations and coherence within this system. Particularly significant is our observation that optimal quantum indicators emerge when electron proximity is minimized, underscoring the substantial influence of electron distance on quantum characteristics. Conversely, as electron separation increases, these quantum metrics diminish. Therefore, by adjusting the Rashba parameter, we can enhance the resilience of these quantum measurements against increasing electron separations, providing valuable insights into the potential for controlling and manipulating quantum behavior in similar 2DEG systems.

Fractional Rashba-induced quantum correlations and their role in achieving steerability in nanowires

Rabie I. Mohamed, Mahmoud Youssef Abd‐Rabbou, NASSER METWALLY

Abstract The dynamics of quantum correlations, steerability, and the coherence of the evolution of a fractional nanowire state are analyzed for a system comprising two electrons interacting with an orbital-spin system through Rashba interaction. The results reveal that the initial state configuration and fractional order act as effective control parameters for enhancing these physical quantities. Preparing the electronic system in an entangled state and the orbital system in an excited state ensures sustained quantum correlations during time evolution. For small fractional order values, the upper bounds of steerability are increased, although the time for steering to decay is shortened. The influence of magnetic field strength, spin–orbit coupling, and confinement potential parameters on improving these measures depends on whether the orbital system is initially prepared in an excited state or a vacuum state.

Rashba spin-orbit coupling and nonlocal correlations in disordered 2D systems

Ying Li, Gour Jana, Chinedu E. Ekuma

We present an extension of the dynamical cluster approximation (DCA) that incorporates Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC) to investigate the interplay between disorder, spin-orbit interaction, and nonlocal spatial correlations in disordered two-dimensional systems. By analyzing the average density of states, momentum-resolved self-energy, and return probability, we demonstrate how Rashba SOC and nonlocal correlations jointly modify single-particle properties and spin-dependent interference. The method captures key features of the symplectic universality class, including SOC-induced delocalization signatures at finite times. We benchmark the DCA results against those obtained from the numerically exact kernel polynomial method, finding good agreement. This validates the computationally efficient, mean-field-based DCA framework as a robust tool for exploring disorder, spin-orbit coupling, and nonlocal correlation effects in low-dimensional systems, and paves the way for simulating multiorbital and strongly correlated systems that were previously inaccessible due to computational limitations.

Dynamics of Two-Qubit Correlations in a Double Quantum Dot System Supported by Spin–Spin Interactions Under Intrinsic Decoherence

Abdel‐Baset A. Mohamed, Heba Allhibi, S. S. Alharbi

This study investigates the dynamics of two-qubit correlations in a double quantum dot (QD) containing an electron and two charge-spin configurations under the influence of Rashba interaction, the Dzyaloshinsky–Moriya interaction, and an external magnetic field. The dynamics of two-qubit correlations, particularly those of local quantum Fisher information (LQFI) and local quantum uncertainty (LQU), are compared with those of log negativity. The correlation dynamics are analysed under the effects of Dzyaloshinsky–Moriya interaction, Rashba spin–orbit coupling, electron tunnelling strength, Zeeman spin-splitting coupling, and intrinsic decoherence. Importantly, in the absence of intrinsic electron QD qubit decoherence, it is found that weak couplings within the electron QD qubit system have a high capacity to create equal LQFI and LQU two-qubit correlations, as well as log-negativity entanglement. Furthermore, it is found that an increase in Zeeman spin splitting and the tunnelling effect of two electrons decreases the ability of the other couplings, DM spin–orbit and Rashba spin–orbit interactions, to generate Wigner–Yanase–Fisher correlation and entanglement, and the opposite is also true. The generation of electron-QD qubit correlations exhibits decaying oscillatory dynamics, especially when decoherence is considered. Additionally, the LQFI and LQU display different correlations, and the sudden death and birth phenomena of entanglement occur. Moreover, the phenomena of decaying oscillatory dynamics, as well as the sudden death and birth of entanglement, depend on the electron-QD-qubit couplings. These electron-QD-qubit correlations provide the quantum dot system with promising features for establishing quantum technologies.

Rashba Spin-Orbit Coupled Quantum Gases

B. Ramachandhran

Spin-orbit (SO) coupling leads to many fundamental phenomena in a wide range of quantum systems from nuclear physics, condensed matter physics to atomic physics. For instance, in electronic condensed matter systems, SO coupling can lead to quantum spin Hall states or topological insulators, which have potential applications in quantum devices. Recently, SO coupling has been artificially induced in quantum liquids - ultracold dilute atomic Bose and Fermi gases - by the so-called synthetic gauge fields. Combined with unprecedented controllability of interactions and geometry in ultracold atoms, this manipulation of SO coupling opens an entirely new paradigm for studying strong correlations of quantum many-body systems under Abelian and non-Abelian gauge fields. In the major portion of this thesis, we theoretically investigate the ground state and collective excitations of a two-component Bose gas in a two-dimensional harmonic trap, subject to Rashba SO coupling. Our work represents an important extension into the regime of non-Abelian gauge field in which the spin degrees of freedom play an essential role. -- Abstract and Thesis are based on our publications in: (1) 10.1103/PhysRevLett.108.010402 (2) 10.1103/PhysRevA.85.023606 (3) 10.1103/PhysRevA.87.033627 (4) 10.1103/PhysRevA.83.033607 (5) 10.1103/PhysRevLett.110.123201

Robust control and preservation of quantum steering, nonlocality, and coherence in open atomic systems

K. Berrada, Abdelaziz Sabik

Abstract We investigate the robustness of Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) steering, nonlocality, and quantum coherence in a bipartite atomic system coupled to cavity fields under the influence of decoherence. The system consists of two non-interacting atoms, where each atom is confined within a cavity that interacts with another cavity field, which plays a crucial role in governing the dynamical evolution of two atoms. Through a combination of analytical and numerical investigations, we demonstrate that quantum steering, Bell nonlocality, and coherence can be not only preserved but also enhanced by appropriately tuning the cavity–cavity interaction strength, effectively mitigating environmental decoherence and extending the coherence lifetime of the system. Our results reveal that, under optimal conditions, steering, nonlocality, and coherence remain resilient against decoherence over extended timescales. These findings offer valuable insights into the controlled manipulation of quantum resources in open quantum systems and have significant implications for quantum information processing and secure communication technologies.
