Entanglement Dynamics of Second Quantized Quantum Fields

Abstract

We study the entanglement dynamics in the system of coupled boson fields. We demonstrate that there are different natural notions of locality in this context leading to inequivalent notions of entanglement. We concentrate on the particle picture, when entanglement of one particle is determined by one-particle density matrix. We study, in detail, the effect of interaction preserving populations of individual one-particle states. We show that if the system is initially in a disentangled state with the definite total number of particles and the dimension of the one-particle Hilbert space is more than two, then only potentials of the special form admit complete entanglement, which is shown to be reached at NOON states. If the system is initially in Glauber’s coherent state, complete entanglement is not reached despite the presence of two entangling channels in this case. We conclude with studying the time evolution of entanglement of photons in a cavity with multiple quantum dots in the limit of large number of photons. We show that in a relatively short time scale the completely entangled states belong to the class of graph states and are formed due to the interaction with dots in resonance with the cavity modes.

Entanglement dynamics of second quantized quantum fields

Mikhail Erementchouk, Michael Niklaus Leuenberger

We study the entanglement dynamics in the system of coupled quantum fields. We prove that if the coupling is linear, that is if the total Hamiltonian is a quadratic form of field operators, entanglement can only be transferred between the fields. We show that entanglement is produced in the model of the two-mode self-interacting boson field with the characteristic Gaussian decay of coherence in the limit of high number of particles. The interesting feature of this system is that the particles in different modes become entangled even if there is no direct interaction between the modes. We apply these results for analysis of the entanglement dynamics in the two-mode Jaynes-Cummings model in the limit of large number of photons. While the photon-atom interaction is assumed to conserve helicity the photons with different polarizations still get entangled due to an effective interaction mediated by the atom with the characteristic entanglement time linearly increasing with the number of photons.

Generation and evolution of entanglement in coupled quantum dots interacting with a quantized cavity field

Arnab Mitra, Reeta Vyas, Daniel B. Erenso

The generation of entanglement between two identical, interacting quantum dots---initially in ground states---by a coherent field and the subsequent time evolution of the entanglement are studied by calculating the concurrence between the two dots. The results predict that while it is possible to generate entanglement (or entanglement of formation, as defined for a mixed state) between the two dots, at no time do the dots become fully entangled to each other or is a maximally entangled Bell state ever achieved. We also observe that the degree of entanglement increases with an increase in the photon number inside the cavity and a decrease in the dot-photon coupling. The behavior of the two-dot system, initially prepared in an entangled state and interacting with thermal light, is also studied.

Complex dynamics of photon entanglement in the two-mode Jaynes–Cummings model

Mikhail Erementchouk, Michael Niklaus Leuenberger

We study the dynamics of the N-photon entanglement, E(N)(t), for the two-mode Jaynes-Cummings model in the case of a small number N of photons coupled to a single quantum dot inside a cavity, such as a microdisk cavity or a photonic crystal cavity. The quantum dot transitions associated with the photons with different polarizations are assumed to be independent of each other and, hence, the time evolutions of the ' + '- and ' - '-polarized photons are formally separable. However, due to the indistinguishability of the photons, such an interaction still leads to the entanglement of initially disentangled photon states, owing to the nonlinear dependence of the characteristic frequencies on the photon population numbers. The time dependence of the entanglement is the result of superimposing oscillations with incommensurate frequencies. Therefore, E(N)(t) is a quasi-periodic function of time with a complex profile strongly dependent on the number of photons.

Dynamics of entanglement for coherent excitonic states in a system of two coupled quantum dots and cavity QED

Yu-xi Liu, Şahin Kaya Özdemir, Masato Koashi +1 more

The dynamics of the entanglement for coherent excitonic states in the system of two, coupled, large semiconductor quantum dots ${(R/a}_{B}\ensuremath{\gg}1)$ mediated by a single-mode cavity field is investigated. Maximally entangled coherent excitonic states can be generated by cavity field initially prepared in odd coherent state. The entanglement of the excitonic coherent states between two dots reaches maximum when no photon is present in the cavity. The effects of the zero-temperature environment on the entanglement of excitonic coherent state are also studied using the concurrence for two subsystems of the excitons.

Dynamics of excitonic entanglement in a system of two quantum dots coupled to cavity field

Kehui Song

The dynamical behaviors of the entanglement for the excitons in a system of two coupled quantum dots and a single-mode cavity field are investigated for two different initial conditions by means of the concurrence.It is shown that the direct coupling between the dots can reduce the degree of the entanglement for the excitons.For the initial cavity field being in the odd-coherent state,the degree of their entanglement decreases with the increase of the coherent intensity of cavity field.There is a trade-off for excitonic entanglement when cavity field is initially prepared in the even-coherent state.The relation between the average photon numbers of cavity field and quasi-maximally entangled excitonic coherent states is studied.

Dynamics of entangled states in a correlated reservoir

Khalid Saleh Aloufi, Smail B. Bougouffa, Z. Ficek

Dynamics of entangled states of two independent single-mode cavities in a correlated (squeezed) reservoir are investigated in the context of matching the correlations contained in the entangled states to those contained in the reservoir. We illustrate our considerations by examining the time evolution of entanglement of initial single and double excitation NOON and EPR states, and a comparison is made of when each cavity is coupled to its own reservoir or both cavities are coupled to a common reservoir. It is shown that the evolution of the initial entanglement and transfer of entanglement from the squeezed reservoir to the cavity modes depend crucially on the matching of the initial correlations to those contained in the squeezed reservoir. In particular, it is found that initially entangled modes with correlations different from the reservoir correlations prevent the transfer of the correlations from the squeezed field to the modes. In addition, we find that the transient entanglement exhibits several features unique to the quantum nature of squeezing. In particular, we show that in the case of separate squeezed reservoirs the initial entanglement disappears at a finite time, which for the so-called classically squeezed field remains almost the same as in the case of a thermal field. In the case of a common reservoir a recurrence of entanglement occurs and we find that this feature also results from the reservoir correlations unique to quantum correlations. There is no revival of the entanglement when the modes interact with a classically correlated field.
