Pre-management of Entanglement Sudden Death

Abstract

We report a summary of our work on management of entanglement sudden death (ESD) through initial conditions. ESD phases are shown for a generic two-qubit system that undergoes local but unbalanced amplitude damping dissipations.

Altering the decay of quantum entanglement

A. R. P. Rau, Mazhar Ali, G. Alber

Decoherence of phases and dissipation of amplitudes can lead to loss of entanglement between two systems. In particular, an initially set-up entanglement of two qubits can end after a finite time in "sudden death". We show how local, unitary actions by the individual qubits can change this fate. In particular, the sudden death can even be averted all together.

The entanglement dynamics of the bipartite quantum system: toward entanglement sudden death

Wei Cui, Zairong Xi, Yu Pan

We investigate the entanglement dynamics of the bipartite quantum system between two qubits with the dissipative environment. We begin with the standard Markovian master equation in the Lindblad form and the initial state which is prepared in the extended Werner-like state: ρ Φ AB (0). We examine the conditions for entanglement sudden death (ESD) and calculate the corresponding ESD time by the Wootters concurrence. We observe that ESD is determined by the parameters such as the mean occupation number of the environment N , amount of initial entanglement α and the purity r . For N = 0, we get the analytical expressions of both ESD condition and ESD time. For N > 0 we give a theoretical analysis that ESD always occurs, and simulate the concurrence as a function of γ 0 t and one of the parameters N , α and r .

Control of entanglement sudden death induced by Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction

Qiang Zheng, Sun Ping, Xiaoping Zhang +1 more

We investigate the entanglement dynamics of a system composed of two non-interacting qubits, A and B. A third qubit, C, only has the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) spin-orbit interaction with qubit B. We find that the DM interaction can induce the entanglement sudden death (ESD) of the system qubits A and B, and properly mixing the initial state of the system and adjusting the state of qubit C are two effective methods of controlling ESD.

Avoiding Entanglement Sudden Death Using Quantum Measurement Reversal on Single-qubit

Hyang‐Tag Lim, Jong Chan Lee, Kang-Hee Hong +1 more

Decoherence on two-qubit systems degrades entanglement, and sometimes even causes entanglement sudden death (ESD). We show quantum measurement reversal on only one subsystem can avoid ESD, providing methods for practical entanglement distribution under decoherence. (C) 2014 Optical Society of America

Sudden Death of Entanglement

Ting Yu, Joseph H. Eberly

A new development in the dynamical behavior of elementary quantum systems is the surprising discovery that correlation between two quantum units of information called qubits can be degraded by environmental noise in a way not seen previously in studies of dissipation. This new route for dissipation attacks quantum entanglement, the essential resource for quantum information as well as the central feature in the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen so-called paradox and in discussions of the fate of Schrödinger's cat. The effect has been labeled ESD, which stands for early-stage disentanglement or, more frequently, entanglement sudden death. We review recent progress in studies focused on this phenomenon.

Relation between initial conditions and entanglement sudden death for two-qubit extended Werner-like states

Baiyuan Yang, Mao-Fa Fang, Jiang Huang

In this paper, the dynamical behavior of entanglement of an uncoupled two-qubit system, which interacts with independent identical amplitude damping environments and is initially prepared in the extended Werner-like (EWL) states, is investigated. The results show that whether entanglement sudden death (ESD) of an EWL state will occur or not depends on initial purity and concurrence. The boundaries between ESD states and ESD-free states for two kinds of EWL states are found to be different. Furthermore, some regions are shown where ESD states can be transformed into ESD-free states by local unitary operations.
