Dynamics of entanglement between field modes in a one-dimensional cavity with a vibrating boundary

Abstract

We study the dynamics of the coefficient of quantum separability between resonantly coupled modes of the massless scalar field in a one-dimensional ideal cavity, whose boundary performs small harmonic oscillations at the frequency ω w = p ω 1 (where ω 1 is the fundamental field eigenfrequency). A qualitative difference between the cases p = 1 and p = 2 is discovered. In the first case, initially factorized thermal states remain separable in the process of evolution, whereas the dynamics of entanglement of initial entangled states (modelled by two-mode squeezed states ) turns out to be more intricate, showing sudden changes from ‘classical’ to ‘nonclassical’ regimes. In contrast, in the ‘principal resonance case’ p = 2 the degree of entanglement changes with time monotonically, and any initially factorized thermal states go asymptotically to mixed quantum states with maximal degree of entanglement. Moreover, for highly thermalized states, the time dependence of the separability coefficient exhibits sharp jumps, which are, nonetheless, not correlated with time dependences of the energies of the field modes.

ENTANGLEMENT OF RESONANTLY COUPLED FIELD MODES IN CAVITIES WITH VIBRATING BOUNDARIES

Mauro Antonio ANDREATA, Alexandre V. Dodonov, V. V. Dodonov +1 more

We study time dependence of various measures of entanglement (covariance entanglement coefficient, purity entanglement coefficient, normalized distance coefficient, entropy coefficients) between resonantly coupled modes of the electromagnetic field in ideal cavities with oscillating boundaries. Two types of cavities are considered — a three-dimensional cavity possessing eigenfrequencies ω3 = 3ω1, whose wall oscillates at the frequency ωw = 2ω1, and a one-dimensional (Fabry–Perot) cavity with an equidistant spectrum ωn = nω1 where the distance between perfect mirrors oscillates at the frequencies ω1 and 2ω1. The behavior of entanglement measures in these cases turns out to be completely different, although all three coefficients demonstrate qualitatively similar time dependences in each case (except some specific situations where the covariance entanglement coefficient based on traces of covariance submatrices seems to be essentially more sensitive to entanglement than other measures, which are based on determinants of covariance submatrices). Different initial states of the field, namely, vacuum, squeezed vacuum, thermal, Fock, and even/odd coherent states, are considered.

Parametric excitation of a cavity field mode coupled to a harmonic oscillator detector

Antonio S. M. de Castro, V. V. Dodonov

We study the parametric resonance in a system of two coupled quantum harmonic oscillators when the frequency of one of them (describing the field mode) is modulated at exactly twice the unperturbed eigenfrequency (the case of 'unshifted resonance'). The coordinate–momentum coupling between the two oscillators is chosen in order to simulate the dynamical Casimir effect in a cavity containing a harmonic oscillator detector (LC-contour). Analytical solutions are obtained with the aid of the multiple scales method. For the field mode and detector initially prepared in thermal squeezed states, we calculate the mean numbers of quanta in both modes, as well as the invariant squeezing coefficients, purity and photon distribution functions, analyzing the influence of coupling strength and frequency modulation depth on the dynamics of these quantities. We show that the system goes to strongly squeezed states even for high temperature initial states of the detector. Depending on the relative strength of coupling coefficient and the parametric modulation amplitude, initially separable states go to permanently entangled states or they show periodic appearance and disappearance of entanglement.

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.

Entanglement degradation of cavity modes due to the dynamical Casimir effect

Nicolás F. Del Grosso, Fernando C. Lombardo, Paula I. Villar

We study the entanglement dynamics between two cavities when one of them is harmonically shaken in the context of quantum information theory. We find four different regimes depending on the frequency of the motion and the spectrum of the moving cavity. If the moving cavity is three dimensional only two modes inside get coupled and the entanglement can either degrade asymptotically with time or oscillate depending on the driving. On the other hand, if the cavity has an equidistant spectrum the entanglement can either vanish asymptotically if it is driven with its fundamental frequency or have a sudden death if it is driven with an uneven harmonic frequency.

The dynamic of quantum entanglement of two dimensional harmonic oscillator in non-commutative space

Azangue Koumetio Armel, Yiande Deuto Germain, Alain Giresse Tene +1 more

Abstract In the present paper, we study the influence of non-commutativity on entanglement in a system of two oscillators-modes in interaction with its environment. The considered system is a two-dimensional harmonic oscillator in non-commuting spatial coordinates coupled to its environment. The dynamics of the covariance matrix, the separability criteria for two Gaussian states in non-commutative space coordinates, and the logarithmic negativity are used to evaluate the quantum entanglement in the system, which is compared to the commutative space coordinates case. The result is applied for two initially entangled states, namely the squeezed vacuum and squeezed thermal states. It can be observed that the phenomenon of entanglement sudden death appears more early in the system for the case of squeezed vacuum state than in the case of squeezed thermal state. Thereafter, it is also observed that non-commutativity effects lead to an increasing of entanglement of initially entangled quantum states, and reduce the separability in the open quantum system. It turns out that a separable state in the usual commutative quantum mechanics might be entangled in non-commutative extension.
