Calculation of Covariance Matrix for Multi-mode Gaussian States in Decoherence Processes

Abstract

We investigate the dynamics of n single-mode continuous variable systems in a generic Gaussian state under the influence of the independent and correlated noises making use of the characteristic function method. In two models the bath is assumed to be a squeezed thermal one. We derive an explicit input-output expression between the initial and final covariance matrices. As an example, we study the evolution of entanglement of three-mode Gaussian state embedded in two noisy models.

Entanglement dynamics of multimode Gaussian states coupled to the same reservoir

Shao-Hua Xiang, Bin Shao, Kehui Song +1 more

We investigate the entanglement dynamics of a generic multimode Gaussian state interacting with a common environmental noise by means of the characteristic function method and the defined operators. We find that such operators obey the rather simple commutation relations. This enables us to exactly solve the Fokker-Planck equation and to establish the general form of the input and output covariance matrices of this state. As an application, we consider the separability and entanglement of three-mode squeezed Gaussian state in the common thermal and squeezed thermal bath.

Entanglement in two-mode continuous variable open quantum systems

Аурелиан Исар

In the framework of the theory of open systems based on completely positive quantum dynamical semigroups, we present a description of continuous-variable entanglement for a system consisting of two non-interacting modes embedded in a thermal environment. By using the Peres–Simon necessary and sufficient criterion for the separability of two-mode Gaussian states, we describe the evolution of entanglement in terms of the covariance matrix for Gaussian input states. For all values of the temperature of the thermal reservoir, an initial separable Gaussian state remains separable for all times. In the case of an entangled initial Gaussian state, entanglement suppression (entanglement sudden death) takes place for non-zero temperatures of the environment. Only for zero temperature of the thermal bath, the initial entangled state remains entangled for finite times. We also show that, independent of its type, namely separable or entangled, the initial state evolves asymptotically to an equilibrium state that is always separable.

Methods for Derivation of Density Matrix of Arbitrary Multi-Mode Gaussian States from Its Phase Space Representation*

ShengLi Zhang, Song Yang

Abstract We present a method for derivation of the density matrix of an arbitrary multi-mode continuous variable Gaussian entangled state from its phase space representation. An explicit computer algorithm is given to reconstruct the density matrix from Gaussian covariance matrix and quadrature average values. As an example, we apply our method to the derivation of three-mode symmetric continuous variable entangled state. Our method can be used to analyze the entanglement and correlation in continuous variable quantum network with multi-mode quantum entanglement states.

Quantum correlations in Gaussian open systems

Аурелиан Исар

In the framework of the theory of open systems based on completely positive quantum dynamical semigroups, we give a description of the quantum correlations of a system consisting of two non-interacting modes embedded in a thermal environment. We describe the evolution of the quantum entanglement in terms of the covariance matrix for Gaussian input states. For all values of the temperature of the thermal reservoir, an initial separable squeezed thermal state remains separable for all times. In the case of an entangled initial squeezed thermal state, entanglement suppression (entanglement sudden death) takes place, for non-zero temperatures of the environment. The Gaussian quantum discord, which is a measure of all quantum correlations in the state, including entanglement, decays asymptotically in time under the effect of the thermal bath.

Entanglement of formation in two-mode Gaussian systems in a thermal environment

Irina Dumitru, Аурелиан Исар

In the framework of the theory of open systems based on completely positive quantum dynamical semigroups, we give a description of the continuous variable entanglement for a system consisting of two non-interacting bosonic modes embedded in a thermal environment. The calculated measure of entanglement is entanglement of formation. We describe the evolution of entanglement in terms of the covariance matrix for symmetric Gaussian input states. In the case of an entangled initial squeezed thermal state, entanglement suppression (entanglement sudden death) takes place, for all non-zero temperatures of the thermal bath. After that, the system remains for all times in a separable state. For a zero temperature of the thermal bath, the system remains entangled for all finite times, but in the limit of asymptotic large times the state becomes separable.
