Abstract

We study the time evolution of decoherence factor of two spin qubits and qutrits coupled to an $XY$ spin chain with Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya (DM) interaction environment. The dynamical process of the decoherence is numerically and analytically investigated. We find that the DM interaction can enhance slightly the decay of the decoherence factor in the weak-coupling region. However, in the strong-coupling region, the decoherence factor is very sensitive to the DM interaction.

Dynamics of quantum correlations for two-qubit coupled to a spin chain with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction

Yiying Yan, Li-Jun Tian, Li‐Guo Qin

We study the dynamics of quantum discord and entanglement for two spin qubits coupled to a spin chain with Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya (DM) interaction. We numerically and analytically investigate the time evolution of quantum discord and entanglement for two-qubit initially prepared in a class of $X-$structure state. In the case of evolution from a pure state, quantum correlations decay to zero in a very short time at the critical point of the environment. In the case of evolution from a mixed state, It is found that quantum discord may get maximized due to the quantum critical behavior of the environment while entanglement vanishes under the same condition. Moreover, we observed sudden transition between classical and quantum decoherence when single qubit interacts with the environment. The effects of DM interaction on quantum correlations are also considered and revealed in the two cases. It can enhance the decay of quantum correlations and its effect on quantum correlations can be strengthened by anisotropy parameter.

Decoherence from a spin chain with Dzyaloshinskii—Moriya interaction

Yiying Yan, Li‐Guo Qin, Li-Jun Tian

We study the dynamics of quantum discord and entanglement for two spin qubits coupled to a spin chain with Dzyaloshinsky—Moriya interaction. In the case of a two-qubit with an initial pure state, quantum correlations decay to zero at the critical point of the environment in a very short time. In the case of a two-qubit with initial mixed state, it is found that quantum discord may get maximized due to the quantum critical behavior of the environment, while entanglement vanishes under the same condition. Besides, we observed a sudden transition between classical and quantum decoherence when only a single qubit interacts with the environment. The effects of Dzyaloshinsky—Moriya interaction on quantum correlations are considered in the two cases. The decay of quantum correlations is always strengthened by Dzyaloshinsky—Moriya interaction.

Loschmidt Echo of a central spin coupled to an XY spin chain: The role of the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction

Han‐li Lian

By introducing the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya (DM) interaction, the Loschmidt Echo ( LE ) of a quantum system consisting of a central spin and its surrounding environment characterized by an XY spin chain was investigated analytically and numerically. At the critical points of the magnetic field, the LE presents an obvious decay. The decay amplitude can be tuned by the DM interaction. In some specific intervals the DM interaction can remarkably delay the decay of the LE . On the other hand, the DM interaction can change the effects of the anisotropy parameter on the LE.

Disentanglement from spin environment: Role of multisite interaction

W. W. Cheng, Jun‐Ming Liu

The dynamical entanglement of two spin-qubits coupled to an $\mathit{XY}$ spin-chain with a three-site interaction environment is studied. The dynamical process of disentanglement is numerically and analytically investigated. In the strong-coupling region, the three-site interaction can dramatically accelerate the decay of the entanglement between the two spin-qubits. However, in the weak-coupling region, the role of this interaction in the process of disentanglement depends on the strength of the three-site interaction; for example, in some specific intervals, this interaction can remarkably delay the process of disentanglement.

Disentanglement of two qubits coupled to an XY spin chain: Role of quantum phase transition

Zi-Gang Yuan, Ping Zhang, Shu‐Shen Li

We study the disentanglement evolution of two spin qubits which interact with a general $XY$ spin-chain environment. The dynamical process of the disentanglement is numerically and analytically investigated in the vicinity of a quantum phase transition (QPT) of the spin chain in both weak and strong coupling cases. We find that the disentanglement of the two spin qubits may be greatly enhanced by the quantum critical behavior of the environmental spin chain. We give a detailed analysis to facilitate the understanding of the QPT-enhanced decaying behavior of the coherence factor. Furthermore, the scaling behavior in the disentanglement dynamics is also revealed and analyzed.

Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions effects on the entanglement dynamics of a two qubit xxz spin system in non-Markovian environment

We investigate the exact entanglement dynamics of a two-qubit Heisenberg XXZ chain with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interactions, interacting with an anisotropic spin bath in thermal equi- librium at a temperature T, driven by an external magnetic field B along the z-axis. We establish that, for an initially entangled qubit pair, the DM interactions generate entanglement and enhance the entanglement in the revival region. The effects of the DM interaction are also seen to be very important at high temperatures and for weak coupling between the two qubits where it is seen to preserve entanglement. These effects are weakened when the magnetic field B and the Heisenberg coupling are switched on. If the two-qubits are prepared in an initially separable state, the DM in- teraction instead has a negative effect on their entanglement. On a whole entanglement can better be preserve in the spin chain even at high temperatures by increases the external magnetic field B and the Heisenberg couplings, and by tuning the strength of the DM interaction.
