Abstract

If two identical emitters are coupled to a common reservoir, entanglement can be generated during the decay process. When using Bell's inequality to examine the non-locality, however, it is possible that the bound cannot be violated in some cases. Here, we propose to use the steering inequality to examine the non-locality induced by a common reservoir. Compared with the Bell inequality, we find that the steering inequality has a better tolerance for examining non-locality. In view of the dynamic nature of the entangling process, we also propose to observe the quantum coherent dynamics by using the Leggett-Garg inequalities. We also suggest a feasible scheme, which consists of two quantum dots coupled to nanowire surface plasmons, for possible experimental realization.

Enhanced quantum nonlocality induced by the memory of a thermal-squeezed environment

Po‐Wen Chen, Md. Manirul Ali, Shiaw-Huei Chen

Abstract We investigate the transient non-Markovian dynamics of quantum nonlocality for a pair of two-level atoms coupled to a common thermal-squeezed environment. We use Bell-CHSH inequality, steering inequality, and entanglement as theoretical tools to investigate the nonlocality dynamics. We see significant differences between the non-Markovian nonlocality dynamics and its Markovian counterpart. We mainly focus on quantum steering nonlocality which has gained much interest recently. An enhanced quantum nonlocality is shown through the violation of steering inequality and entanglement in the non-Markovian regime of the structured environment. A close correspondence is shown between steering nonlocality and entanglement dynamics.

Broadcasting of nonlocality in two qubit systems

Bell non-locality and steering are essential features of quantum mechanics which mark significant departures from classical notion. They basically refer to the presence of quantum correlations between separated systems which violate a non-local inequality, the violation being not possible if we restrict ourselves only to classical correlations. In view of the importance of such unique correlations one may be interested to generate more non-local states starting from a few, a protocol which is termed as broadcasting. However in the present submission we show that if one restricts to broadcasting through quantum cloning, then such non-local states cannot be broadcasted. Our study is done in the purview of the Bell-CHSH inequality and a steering inequality pertaining to three measurement settings. We also find suitable restrictions on the Werner and Bell diagonal states which will make them unsteerable under any number of measurement settings, after broadcasting.

Legget-Garg inequality for a two-mode entangled bosonic system

Joanna K. Kalaga, A. Kowalewska-Kudłaszyk, W. Leoński +1 more

We discuss a model of two nonlinear quantum oscillators mutually coupled by linear interaction and continuously driven by external coherent excitation. For such a system, we analyze temporal correlations. We examine the violation of the Leggett-Garg inequality analysing various scenarios of measurements. These scenarios are based on the projection onto different Bell states. We show that the possibility of violation of the Leggett-Garg inequalities is associated with the use of different projectors.

Entanglement swapping and testing quantum steering into the past via collective decay

Yueh-Nan Chen, Shin-Liang Chen, Neill Lambert +3 more

We propose a scheme to realize entanglement swapping via superradiance, entangling two distant cavities without a direct interaction. The successful Bell-state-measurement outcomes are performed naturally by the electromagnetic reservoir, and we show how, using a quantum trajectory method, the nonlocal properties of the state obtained after the swapping procedure can be verified by the steering inequality. Furthermore, we discuss how the unsuccessful measurement outcomes can be used in an experiment of delayed-choice entanglement swapping. An extension of testing the quantum steering inequality with the observers at three different times is also considered.

Nonlocal quantum correlations in a bipartite quantum system coupled to a bosonic non-Markovian reservoir

Samira Elghaayda, Zakaria Dahbi, A.‐B. A. Mohamed +1 more

In this paper, we explore the dynamics of nonlocal correlations in a two-qubit system, that is, first prepared in a Gisin state and then interacts with a bosonic non-Markovian environment. We employ uncertainty-induced nonlocality (UIN) and the Horodecki measure (Bell function) to characterize the degree of nonclassical correlations and quantum nonlocality in the system, taking into account the influence of the non-Markovian reservoir. The dynamics of the UIN and the Bell nonlocality are next examined using the various parameters that define the non-Markovian reservoir and the initial Gisin state. Our results show that the amount of nonlocal correlations and the degree of violation of Bell’s inequality can be modulated by varying the physical parameters characterizing the non-Markovian reservoir and the initial Gisin state. We also show that in some specific cases, the system exhibits nonclassical correlations while the evolved Gisin state does not violate Bell’s inequality. Our results also confirm that UIN is robust than Bell’s nonlocality in the presence of decoherence induced by the interaction with the non-Markovian reservoir.

Estimating quantum steering and Bell nonlocality through quantum entanglement in two-photon systems

Huan Yang, Fa Zhao, Xiao‐Gang Fan +6 more

Quantum entanglement, quantum steering and Bell nonlocality, as significant quantum resources in the field of quantum information science, can achieve variously valuable quantum information tasks. Among of them, quantum entanglement and Bell nonlocality are the weakest and strongest nonlocal correlations, respectively. One can capture the quantum steering and Bell nonlocality via violating steering inequality and Bell inequality, respectively. In general, the detections of quantum steering and Bell nonlocality are strictly harder than entanglement detection. Here, based on steering inequality test and quantum state tomography, we attain various nonlocal correlations and experimentally demonstrate that the estimations of quantum steering and Bell nonlocality can be realized according to the quantum entanglement of the prepared two-photon test states. The estimated efficiency of quantum steering is stronger than the one of Bell nonlocality in this scenario, i.e., more steerable two-photon test states can be verified through quantum entanglement. In addition, quantum steering and Bell nonlocality are bounded by the corresponding upper and lower bounds, and these bounds cannot be punctured by all prepared two-photon states in experiment. These results are conducive to understand the relations among these nonlocal correlations.
