Finite-time disentanglement induced by single-mode thermal field

Feng Han, Yun‐Jie Xia

Published Dec 1, 2009• 3 citations
Publisher

Abstract

In this paper, we study the entanglement dynamics of atoms locally coupled to a cavity field. By studying two different models within the framework of cavity QED, we show that the so-called atomic entanglement sudden death always occurs if initially the cavity field is in the thermal state, in clear contrast with that in the vacuum state where the same entanglement decay is in infinite time.

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.

Atomic entanglement sudden death in a strongly driven cavity QED system

Ying-Jie Zhang, Zhong‐Xiao Man, Yun‐Jie Xia

We study the entanglement dynamics of strongly driven atoms off-resonantly coupled with cavity fields. We consider conditions characterized not only by the atom-field coupling but also by the atom-field detuning. By studying two different models within the framework of cavity QED, we show that the so-called atomic entanglement sudden death (ESD) always occurs if the atom-field coupling lager than the atom-field detuning, and is independent of the type of initial atomic state.

Entanglement dynamics of high-dimensional bipartite field states inside the cavities in dissipative environments

Rabia Tahira, Manzoor Ikram, Smail B. Bougouffa +1 more

We investigate the phenomenon of sudden death of entanglement in a high-dimensional bipartite system subjected to dissipative environments with an arbitrary initial pure entangled state between two fields in the cavities. We find that in a vacuum reservoir, the presence of the state where one or more than one (two) photons in each cavity are present is a necessary condition for the sudden death of entanglement. Otherwise entanglement remains for infinite time and decays asymptotically with the decay of individual qubits. For pure two-qubit entangled states in a thermal environment, we observe that sudden death of entanglement always occurs. The sudden death time of the entangled states is related to the number of photons in the cavities, the temperature of the reservoir and the initial preparation of the entangled states.

Entanglement dynamics of a pure bipartite system in dissipative environments

We investigate the phenomenon of sudden death of entanglement in a bipartite system subjected to dissipative environments with arbitrary initial pure entangled state between two atoms. We find that in a vacuum reservoir the presence of the state where both atoms are in excited states is a necessary condition for the sudden death of entanglement. Otherwise entanglement remains for an infinite time and decays asymptotically with the decay of individual qubits. For pure 2-qubit entangled states in a thermal environment, we observe that the sudden death of entanglement always happens. The sudden death time of the entangled states is related to the temperature of the reservoir and the initial preparation of the entangled states.

Sudden death of entanglement of two atoms interacting with thermal fields

Cheng-Li Luo, Long Miao, Xiao-Lan Zheng +2 more

We investigate the entanglement dynamics of two initially entangled atoms each interacting with a thermal field. We show that the two entangled atoms become completely disentangled in a finite time and that the lost information cannot return to the atomic system when the mean photon number of the thermal field exceeds a critical value (3.3584), even though the whole system is lossless. Then we study how the detuning between the atomic transition frequency and the field frequency and the disparity between two coupling rates would affect the evolution of the entanglement of the atomic system.

Study on sudden death of the entanglement between an isolated atom and an atom inside a bimodal cavity

Liao Qing-Hong

The entanglement dynamics of two atoms initially in an entangled state system interacting with a bimodal field is investigated by making use of the concurrence and linear entropy.The effect of the initial entanglement degree of two atoms and the cavity field on the time evolution of concurrence is analyzed.The results show that the phenomenon of sudden death of the entanglement between two atoms occurs.The length of the death time interval is independent of the initial entanglement degree of two atoms.However,the death time depends on the initial entanglement degree of the cavity field.The atom and the field are entangled during all the evolution process.
