WEHRL ENTROPY AND ENTANGLEMENT OF A TIME-DEPENDENT TWO-LEVEL TRAPPED ION INTERACTING WITH A LASER FIELD

Abstract

The time evolution of the atomic Wehrl entropy and long-lived entanglement generation using a single trapped ion interacting with a laser field are analyzed. Starting from the Heisenberg equation of motion, an exact solution of the system is obtained by indicating that there are some interesting features when a time-dependent modulating function is considered. We demonstrate that the long-living quantum entanglement can be obtained using the time-independent interaction when the field is initially in a pair cat states.

Sudden death and long-living of entanglement in an ion-trap laser

Mahmoud Abdel‐Aty

he dynamical properties of quantum entanglement in a time-dependent three-level-trapped ion interacting with a laser field are studied in terms of the reduced-density linear entropy considering two specific initial states of the field. Allowing the instantaneous position of the center-of-mass motion of the ion to be explicitly time-dependent, it is shown that either sudden death of entanglement or survivability of quantum entanglement can be obtained with a specific choice of the initial state parameters. The difference in evolution picture corresponding to the multi-quanta processes is discussed.

Information entropy of a time-dependent three-level trapped ion interacting with a laser field

Mahmoud Abdel‐Aty

Trapped and laser-cooled ions are increasingly used for a variety of modern high-precision experiments, frequency standard applications and quantum information processing. Therefore, in this communication we present a comprehensive analysis of the pattern of information entropy arising in the time evolution of an ion interacting with a laser field. A general analytic approach is proposed for a three-level trapped-ion system in the presence of the time-dependent couplings. By working out an exact analytic solution, we conclusively analyse the general properties of the von Neumann entropy and quantum information entropy. It is shown that the information entropy is affected strongly by the time-dependent coupling and exhibits long time periodic oscillations. This feature attributed to the fact that in the time-dependent region Rabi oscillation is time dependent. Using parameters corresponding to a specific three-level ionic system, a single beryllium ion in a RF-(Paul) trap, we obtain illustrative examples of some novel aspects of this system in the dynamical evolution. Our results establish an explicit relation between the exact information entropy and the entanglement between the multi-level ion and the laser field. We show that different nonclassical effects arise in the dynamics of the ionic population inversion, depending on the initial states of the vibrational motion/field and on the values of Lamb–Dicke parameter η.

QUANTUM TREATMENT OF A TIME DEPENDENT SINGLE-TRAPPED ION INTERACTING WITH A BIMODAL CAVITY FIELD

Mahmoud Abdel‐Aty, A.‐S. F. Obada, M. Sebawe Abdalla

In the present communication we consider a time dependent ion-field interaction. Here we discuss the interaction between a single trapped ion and two fields taking into account the coupling parameter to be time dependent and allowing for amplitude modulation of the laser field radiating the trapped ion. At exact resonances the analytic solution for the Heisenberg equations of motion is obtained. We examine the effect of the velocity and the acceleration on the Rabi oscillations by studying the second order correlation function. The phenomenon of squeezing for single and two fields cases is considered. The cross correlation between the fields is discussed.

ATOMIC WEHRL ENTROPY OF A SINGLE QUBIT SYSTEM

S. Abdel‐Khalek, H. F. Abdel-Hameed, Mahmoud Abdel‐Aty

We propose the use of atomic Wehrl entropy associated to the reduced atomic density operator as an entanglement indicator of bipartite systems. This is applied to a two-level system (one single harmonically trapped ion) by taking into account the linear center-of-mass-motional degree of freedom. Detailed analytical and explicit expressions are given, taking into account different configurations. The results show the important roles played by the laser phase and initial state setting in the evolution of the atomic Q-function, atomic Wehrl entropy and marginal atomic Q-function. Our procedure of using atomic Wehrl entropy may be applied to a system with Hilbert space of high dimension.

Entanglement sudden birth of two trapped ions interacting with a time-dependent laser field

Mahmoud Abdel‐Aty, Ting Yu

We explore and develop the mathematics of the two multi-level ions. In particular, we describe some new features of quantum entanglement in two three-level trapped ions confined in a one-dimensional harmonic potential, allowing the instantaneous position of the center-of-mass motion of the ions to be explicitly time-dependent. By solving the exact dynamics of the system, we show how survivability of the quantum entanglement is determined by a specific choice of the initial state settings.

Wehrl entropy and Wehrl phase distribution of a single-trapped ion interacting with a laser field

S. Abdel‐Khalek

In this paper, some properties of the interaction between a single-trapped ion and laser fields are discussed. Analytical and explicit expressions of the Wehrl entropy and Wehrl phase distribution are given taking into account different configurations of the laser field. The results show the important roles played by the fluctuations of the laser phase and initial state setting in the evolution of the Husimi Q -function, Wehrl entropy and Wehrl phase distribution.
