Abstract

Analysis of complex quantum systems having many partitions is a very complicated numerical task. As the number of entities increase, the computational burden blows up and at the same time accuracy is lost due to integration in timedomain. Here, we present a systematic and rigorous methodology to deal with the multi-partite quantum systems comprised of many quantum dots with arbitrary transition oscillator strengths as well as dipole-dipole interaction. No limit is imposed on the number of radiation modes in the interacting reservoir. We present an exact solution to this system and also a general self-generating automated code which is capable of solving the system in time-domain with full accuracy and maximal computational efficiency. The code is also able to compute the exact concurrency as the measure of entanglement. Various coupling regimes ranging from the weak to ultrastrong are analyzed and discussed.

Simulation of Multipartite Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics

Moslem Alidoosty Shahraki, Sina Ataollah Khorasani, Mohammad Hasan Aram

Cavity quantum electrodynamics of multipartite systems are studied in depth, which consists of an arbitrary number of emitters in interaction with an arbitrary number of cavity modes. The governing model is obtained by taking the full field-dipole and dipole-dipole interactions into account, and is solved in the Schrödinger picture with assumption of vanishing field and dipole interactions at high energies. An extensive code is developed that is able to solve the system and track its evolution in time, while maintaining sufficient degrees of arbitrariness in setting up the initial conditions and interacting partitions. Using this code, we have been able to numerically evaluate various parameters such as probabilities, expectation values (of field and atomic operators), and the concurrence as the most rigorously defined measure of entanglement of quantum systems. We present and discuss several examples including a seven-partition system consisting of six quantum dots interacting with one cavity mode. We observe for the first time that the behavior of quantum systems under ultrastrong coupling is significantly different than the weakly and strongly coupled systems, marked by onset of chaos and abrupt phase changes. We also discuss how to implement spin into the theoretical picture and thus, successfully simulate a recently reported spin-entanglement experiment.

Interaction of quantum dot molecules with multi-mode radiation fields

Sadeghi, Amir Hossein, Ali Naqavi, Sina Ataollah Khorasani

In this article, the interaction of an arbitrary number of quantum dots, behaving as artificial molecules, with different energy levels and multi-mode electromagnetic field is studied. We make the assumption that each quantum dot can be represented as an atom with zero kinetic energy, and that all excitonic effects except dipole-dipole interactions may be disregarded. We use Jaynes-Cummings-Paul model with applications to quantum systems based on a time-dependent Hamiltonian and entangled states. We obtain a system of equations describing the interaction and present a method to solve the equations analytically for a single mode field within the Rotating-Wave Approximation. As an example of the applicability of this approach, we solve the system of two two-level quantum dots in a lossless cavity with two modes of electromagnetic field. We furthermore study the evolution of entanglement by defining and computing the concurrency.

The two-qubit quantum Rabi model: inhomogeneous coupling

Lijun Mao, Sainan Huai, Yunbo Zhang

We revisit the analytic solution of the two-qubit quantum Rabi model with inhomogeneous coupling and transition frequencies using a displaced oscillator basis. This approach enables us to apply the same truncation rules and techniques adopted in the Rabi model to the two qubits system. The derived analytical spectra match perfectly with the numerical solutions in the parameter regime where the qubits’ transition frequencies are far off-resonance with the field frequency and the interaction strengths reach the ultrastrong coupling regime. We further explore the dynamical behavior of the two qubits as well as the evolution of entanglement. The analytical methods provide unexpectedly accurate results in describing the dynamics of the two qubits in the present experimentally accessible coupling regime. The time evolutions of the probability for the qubits show that the collapse-revival phenomena emerge, survive and finally disappear when one coupling strength increases from weak to strong coupling regimes and the other coupling strength is well into the ultrastrong coupling regime. The inhomogeneous coupling system exhibits new dynamics, which are different from the homogeneous coupling case.

Harvesting multi-qubit entanglement from ultrastrong interactions in circuit QED

Federico Armata, Giuseppe Calajò, Tuomas Jaako +2 more

We analyze a multi-qubit circuit QED system in the regime where the qubit-photon coupling dominates over the system's bare energy scales. Under such conditions a manifold of low-energy states with a high degree of entanglement emerges. Here we describe a time-dependent protocol for extracting these quantum correlations and converting them into well-defined multi-partite entangled states of non-interacting qubits. Based on a combination of various ultrastrong-coupling effects the protocol can be operated in a fast and robust manner, while still being consistent with experimental constraints on switching times and typical energy scales encountered in superconducting circuits. Therefore, our scheme can serve as a probe for otherwise inaccessible correlations in strongly-coupled circuit QED systems. It also shows how such correlations can potentially be exploited as a resource for entanglement-based applications.

Dynamics of Many-Emitter Ensembles: Probing Cooperative Evolution with Scalable Quantum Circuits

Vincent Iglesias-Cardinale, Shreekanth S. Yuvarajan, Herbert F. Fotso

Many-particle quantum systems often give rise to exotic behaviors in their nonequilibrium dynamics that are rather challenging to reveal with analytical methods or with classical computation. Here, we consider the case of a system of many quantum emitters coupled through a radiation bath. By adopting an efficient mapping of the bosonic modes onto a set of quantum bits, we implement quantum circuits, compatible with NISQ (Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum) era systems, that allow us to investigate the dynamics of the ensemble as a function of various parameters, including the number of emitters, the spectral inhomogeneity in the system, the emission lifetime of independent emitters, and the spatial separation between emitters. The quantum algorithms afford us the capacity to precisely track the emergence of cooperative dynamics, manifested through superradiant emission, as the system is tuned towards optimal coupling with respect to various parameters. We are particularly able to characterize superradiant emission in an inhomogeneous ensemble as a function of the linewidth of the individual emitters. These quantum algorithms avoid approximations performed in conventional studies of many-emitter systems and provide a robust and intuitive characterization. Despite being limited to a small number of qubits, the present calculations are found to provide a reliable characterization validated by comparison with analytical solutions and classical computation results in their respective regimes of validity. These findings indicate that the approach can be employed to effectively simulate a broad variety of many-emitter systems.

Computation of spontaneous emission dynamics in colored vacua

Mohammad Hosain Teimourpour, Ramy El‐Ganainy

We present an efficient time domain numerical scheme for computing spontaneous emission dynamics in colored vacua. Starting from first principles, we map the unitary evolution of a dressed two-level quantum emitter onto the problem of electromagnetic radiation from a complex harmonic oscillator under self-interaction conditions. This latter oscillator-field system can be efficiently integrated by using finite difference time domain method without the need for calculating the photonic eigenmodes of the surrounding environment. In contrast to earlier investigations, our computational framework provides a unified numerical treatment for both weak and strong coupling regimes alike. We illustrate the versatility of our scheme by considering several different examples.
