Effects of Purity on Dynamics of Multipartite Entanglement

Abstract

We study the effects of purity on entanglement dynamics of a multipartite system in cavity QED. Three two-level atoms A, B and C are initially prepared in an entangled state and locally coupled with independent cavities a, b and c, respectively. We consider the effects of purity of atomic initial state on the entanglement evolution of both the systems of atoms and cavities. It is found that depending on the purity of atomic initial state, the entanglement of atoms (cavities) may or may not exhibit the sudden death (birth) phenomenon.

A STUDY ON THE SUDDEN DEATH AND SUDDEN BIRTH OF ENTANGLEMENT IN AN OPEN SYSTEM

YING-JIE ZHANG, Yun‐Jie Xia

In this paper, we consider the entanglement dynamics of two cavities interacting with independent reservoirs. When the cavity entanglement suddenly disappeared, the reservoir entanglement suddenly and necessarily appears. We study the effect of purity of initial entangled state of two cavities on the entanglement evolution, and acquire that the purity of initial entangled state of two cavities can control the apparition time of the entanglement sudden death and the entanglement sudden birth. Also, we find that the conditions on the apparition of the entanglement sudden death and the entanglement sudden birth can be generalized when the initial entangled state of cavities is not pure, which is a complement to the result in the paper [Phys. Rev. Lett.101 (2008) 080503] for the pure case.

On conditions for atomic entanglement sudden death in cavity QED

Zhong‐Xiao Man, Yun‐Jie Xia, Nguyen Ba An

In this paper, we study the entanglement dynamics of atoms coupled to cavity fields. We consider conditions characterized not only by the purity of the atomic initial state but also by the cavity photon number. By studying three different models within the framework of cavity QED, we show that the so-called atomic entanglement sudden death always occurs if initially the atomic state is sufficiently impure and/or the cavity photon number is nonzero.

Entanglement dynamics for a six-qubit model in cavity QED

Zhong‐Xiao Man, Yun‐Jie Xia, Nguyen Ba An

We study entanglement dynamics for a six-qubit model in cavity QED, where three two-level atoms A , B and C are initially prepared in a Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ)-like state and locally coupled with the independent cavities a , b and c , respectively. We consider entanglement evolution via negativity for the tripartite subsystems of atoms and the corresponding cavities. By choosing two types of GHZ-like states as atomic initial states, we shall show that the entanglement of atoms may or may not exhibit entanglement sudden death (ESD) depending on the type of atomic initial state.

Dynamics of multipartite entanglement in the non-Markovian environments

Ying-Jie Zhang, Zhong‐Xiao Man, Xu‐Bo Zou +2 more

We consider the entanglement dynamics of N qubits interacting with independent structured reservoirs. The system is initially prepared in the multipartite Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ)-type state. We study the dependence of the entanglement dynamics on both the qubit number N and the purity of initial state, and show that the qubit number N and the purity can control the time of appearance of the N -qubit entanglement sudden death and the entanglement sudden birth of the reservoirs. Also based on the purity and the qubit number N , the revival of N -qubit entanglement does not necessarily indicate the disentanglement of reservoirs, and manifests before, simultaneously or even after the finite-time disentanglement of reservoirs.

Entanglement Dynamics of Three Qubits in the Non-Markovian Environments

Shan Chuan-Jia, Ji-Bing Liu, Tao Chen +3 more

We consider the entanglement dynamics of three two-level atoms interacting with independent structured non-Markovian reservoirs. The atoms are initially prepared in a mixed multipartite Greenberger—Horne—Zeilinger (GHZ)-type state. Based on the purity and non-Markovian reservoirs, we show that the reservoirs' entanglement can exhibit not only multipartite entanglement sudden birth but also entanglement sudden death, and the revival of atom entanglement is not always accompanied by the disentanglement of reservoirs. Meanwhile, we derive the quantitative criteria for multipartite revival and death phenomena and find multipartite entanglement sudden death and entanglement sudden birth simultaneous apparition time is independent of the initial three-qubit state.

Sudden Death and Sudden Birth of Entanglement Between Two Atoms Successively Passing Fock State Field

Gao De-ying

The dynamics of entanglement of two initially separate atoms passing through a cavity one after another is studied by the negativity method.The effects of the two atom initial states and the field in the fock state on the time evolution of atom-atom entanglement are examined.The phenomenon of sudden birth and death of entanglement occurs when the photon number in the fock state is not zero and the phenomenon will change with the two atom initial states and the photon number.
