Abstract

We investigate the dynamics of quantum correlations such as entanglement and quantum discord between two atoms in a lossy cavity. It is found that a stable quantum discord could be induced even when the atoms remain separable at all times. Also, we show that it is possible to amplify and protect the quantum discord under cavity decay for certain types of initial states. Moreover, entanglement decoherence-free subspaces are obtained which may be useful in quantum information and quantum computation.

Quantum correlations between identical and unidentical atoms in a dissipative environment

Ferdi Altintas, Resul Eryiğit

We have studied the dynamics of quantum correlations such as entanglement, Bell nonlocality and quantum discord between identical and unidentical atoms interacting with a single-mode cavity field and subject to cavity decay. The effect of single-atom detuning, cavity decay rate and initial preparation of the atoms on the corresponding correlation measures have been investigated. It is found that even under strong dissipation, time evolution can create high quantum discord while entanglement and Bell nonlocality stay zero for an initially separable state. Quantum discord increases while entanglement decreases in a certain time period under dissipation for the initial state that both atoms are in the excited state if the qubits are identical. For some types of initial states, cavity decay is shown to drive the system to a stationary state with high entanglement and quantum discord.

Dynamics and protection of quantum discord via cavity engineering

Abdul Basit, Hamad Ali, Fazal Badshah +2 more

Abstract Exploring strategies to protect quantum correlations from the detrimental effects of their surroundings is crucial in the field of quantum computing and information sciences. For this purpose, we consider a simple engineered environment consisting of two noninteracting separated qubits, each embedded in a single-mode lossy cavity which is further connected to another lossy cavity. We investigate the dynamics and protection of quantum discord for the initially maximum entangled state in the weak and strong coupling regimes between the qubits and their corresponding cavities. It is found that the quantum discord can be preserved efficiently for a much longer time by adjusting the hopping strengths between the two coupled cavities. In addition, if the secondary cavity is perfect then a stationary quantum discord between the two qubits arises after certain damping oscillations. Interestingly, the magnitude of the stationary quantum discord can be maximized by increasing the coupling strengths of the two cavities.

The dynamics of entanglement and quantum discord of two atoms in coupled cavities

Qing-Xia Mu, Ye-Qi Zhang, Jie Song

We investigate the dynamics of quantum correlations such as entanglement and quantum discord between two noninteracting atoms, each of which is trapped inside one of two coupled cavities. We find that the cavity decay can induce both entanglement and quantum discord between the two atoms when they are initially prepared in doubly excited state. The result shows the sudden death and sudden birth of entanglement and robustness of the quantum discord to sudden death. It is also found that the doubly excited state is responsible for the sudden death of entanglement. Moreover, the sudden death of entanglement can be controlled by the intercavity hopping rate.

Quantum correlation dynamics of two qubits in independent reservoirs with initial system-reservoir correlations

Xin-Ping Ma, Yue Sun, Jin‐Liang Guo

Abstract The dynamics of entanglement and quantum discord (QD) between two two-level atoms interacting with two dissipative coupled cavities in the presence of initial atom-cavity correlations is investigated. In comparison with the result of the initial factorized state, we show that the initial state contained quantum correlation of atom-cavity is most robust against the dissipative environment, and the initial atom-cavity correlations, especially the quantum correlation, play a constructive role in the generation of atomic entanglement and QD. Simultaneously, the comparison between Markovian and non-Markovian dynamics, and the influences of inter-cavity hopping rate are also taken into account and analyzed.

Sudden transition and sudden change of quantum discord in dissipative cavity quantum electrodynamics system

Qi-Liang He, Jing‐Bo Xu

The dynamics of classical correlation and quantum correlation of two qubits in an independent and common dissipative cavity are studied. We show that for an independent case, the quantum correlation keeps constant and the correlation relation decays before the critical time point Ωt¯. On the other hand t>Ωt¯, for the classical correlation does not change and the quantum correlation is lost. These situations demonstrate that the phenomenon of sudden transition between classical and quantum decoherence appears during the time evolution. For the common case, the quantum correlation dynamics is quite different. It is displayed that for some initial states, the quantum correlation can increase up to the critical point of time, after which it decreases, which means that the quantum correlation presents a sudden change of behavior in their decay rates. But for other initial states, the quantum correlation can keep increasing up to some-steady state value. Furthermore, we also investigate the nonzero quantum correlation between two qubits induced by the dissipation of the cavity.

Control of sudden transition between classical and quantum correlations of two strongly driven atoms in dissipative cavities

Qing-Xia Mu

We investigate analytically the dynamics of classical and quantum correlations between two strongly driven atoms, each of which is trapped inside a dissipative cavity. It is found that there exists a finite time interval during which the quantum discord initially prepared in the X -type states is not destroyed by the decay of the cavities. The sudden transition between classical correlation and quantum discord is sensitive to the initial-state parameter, the cavity decay rate, and the cavity mode-driving field detuning. Interestingly, we show that the transition time can be prolonged significantly by increasing the degree of the detuning.
