Quantum correlation measurements for two qubits in a common squeezed bath

M. Angeles Gallego, Miguel Orszag

Published Jan 1, 2011• 0 citations

Abstract

"or many years the entangled systems have been associated to the quantum world, while the separable systems with the classical world. Recently quantum discord showed that some separable states posses quantum correlation even when the entanglement is zero. In this work, we compare different features of quantum discord and entanglement of formation for two qubits in a common squeezed reservoir. We relate the quantum correlations with the “distance” of our initial condition from the decoherence free subspace where the system is not affected by environment. While for some initial conditions, the entanglement presents sudden death and revival, quantum discord does not. Still, is not clear the relation between these two measurements of “quantumness”."

Death and revival of the quantum discord and the measurement-induced disturbance

Miguel Gallego, Miguel Orszag

Three different quantifiers, entanglement of formation (ENT), quantum discord (QD), and measurement-induced disturbance (MID), are used to measure the quantum correlations of two qubits in a common squeezed bath. A subspace was found for initial conditions in a squeezed bath, where the system experiences no decoherence. We relate the three measurements with the “distance” from the initial condition to the decoherence free subspace, in order to study the effect of the decoherence in the quantum correlations. We show examples of a system with quantum correlations even when entanglement is null. Furthermore, we study the necessary conditions for the system to become truly classical. We found that, under certain initial conditions and at specific times, the system becomes classical and both the QD and the MID vanish, thus observing the phenomena of sudden death and revival of the quantum correlations. Finally, we observe discontinuities in the QD.

Investigations into quantum correlation of coupled qubits in a squeezed vacuum reservoir

Yinghua Ji, Yongmei Liu

In this paper, we investigate the quantum correlation of coupled qubits which are initially in maximally entangled mixed states in a squeezed vacuum reservoir. We compare and analyze the effects of squeezed parameters on quantum discord and quantum concurrence. The results show that in a squeezed vacuum reservoir, the quantum discord and quantum concurrence perform with completely opposite behaviors with the change of squeezed parameters. Quantum discord survives longer with the increase of squeezed amplitude parameter, but entanglement death is faster on the contrary. The results also indicate that the classical correlation of the system is smaller than quantum discord in a vacuum reservoir, while it is bigger than quantum discord in a squeezed vacuum reservoir. The quantum discord and classical correlation are more robust than quantum concurrence in the two reservoir environments, which indicates that the entanglement actually is easily affected by decoherence and quantum discord has a stronger ability to avoid decoherence in a squeezed vacuum reservoir.

Generation of quantum correlations for two qubits through a common reservoir

M. Angeles Gallego, Raúl Coto, Miguel Orszag

Recently, besides entanglement, an entropy-based measurement called quantum discord has been used to describe the quantum correlations in separable and non-separable states. Here we compare the dynamics of entanglement with that of quantum discord, in the case of two qubits in a common thermal or squeezed reservoir. We focus on the generation of quantum correlations, starting from an uncorrelated system.

Quantum Discord of Coupling Qubits in Decoherence-Free Subspace and Squeezed Vacuum Reservoir

Ju Ju Hu, Haijiang Hu, Ying Hua Ji

We investigate the dynamical behavior of quantum discord for the coupling qubits that placed in squeezed vacuum reservoir and initially in decoherence-free subspace (DFS). The results show that the DFS for resisting the effects from environmental decoherence and disentanglement is not the DFS of quantum discord. We also find that under certain conditions, the quantum discord and entanglement perform completely inversely versus the squeezed parameters. The quantum discord is controlled by the squeezed parameters, especially in the initial stage of the evolution, the bigger the parameter is, and the longer the time of initial death will be.

Quantum correlations in Gaussian open systems

Аурелиан Исар

In the framework of the theory of open systems based on completely positive quantum dynamical semigroups, we give a description of the quantum correlations of a system consisting of two non-interacting modes embedded in a thermal environment. We describe the evolution of the quantum entanglement in terms of the covariance matrix for Gaussian input states. For all values of the temperature of the thermal reservoir, an initial separable squeezed thermal state remains separable for all times. In the case of an entangled initial squeezed thermal state, entanglement suppression (entanglement sudden death) takes place, for non-zero temperatures of the environment. The Gaussian quantum discord, which is a measure of all quantum correlations in the state, including entanglement, decays asymptotically in time under the effect of the thermal bath.

Quantum discord for two-qubit systems

Shunlong Luo

Quantum discord, as introduced by Olliver and Zurek [Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 017901 (2001)], is a measure of the discrepancy between two natural yet different quantum analogs of the classical mutual information. This notion characterizes and quantifies quantumness of correlations in bipartite states from a measurement perspective, and is fundamentally different from the various entanglement measures in the entanglement vs separability paradigm. The phenomenon of nonzero quantum discord is a manifestation of quantum correlations due to noncommutativity rather than due to entanglement, and has interesting and significant applications in revealing the advantage of certain quantum tasks. We will evaluate analytically the quantum discord for a large family of two-qubit states, and make a comparative study of the relationships between classical and quantum correlations in terms of the quantum discord. We furthermore compare the quantum discord with the entanglement of formation, and illustrate that the latter may be larger than the former, although for separable states, the entanglement of formation always vanishes and thus is less than the quantum discord.
