Abstract

The entanglement dynamics between an isolated atom and a moving atom interacting with a cavity field is investigated. The results show that there appears sudden death of entanglement between the isolated atom and the moving atom and that the time of entanglement sudden death (ESD) is independent of the initial state of the system. It is interesting that the isolated atom can also entangle with a cavity field, though they do not interact with each other originally, which stems from the fact that the entanglement between the isolated atom and the moving atom may turn into the entanglement between the isolated atom and the cavity.

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.

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.

Sudden death of entanglement of two Jaynes–Cummings atoms

Muhammed Yönaç, Ting Yu, Joseph H. Eberly

We investigate entanglement dynamics of two isolated atoms, each in its own Jaynes–Cummings cavity. We show analytically that initial entanglement has an interesting subsequent time evolution, including the so-called sudden death effect.

Time evolution and transfer of entanglement between an isolated atom and a Jaynes–Cummings atom

Zhi-Jian Li, Jun‐Qi Li, Yan-Hong Jin +1 more

We investigate the entanglement dynamics of two space-separated atoms, one of them in Jaynes–Cummings cavity and the other isolated completely. We show analytically that initial entanglement has an interesting subsequent time evolution and transfer, including the so-called sudden death effect. A little inconsistency of concurrence and negativity is indicated qualitatively to measure the two-qubit states.

Sudden death and sudden birth of atomic entanglement in double Jaynes-Cummings model composed of two coupled cavities

YU Zhong-Quan, Chen Fa-Hua, Chenglin Liu

The atomic entanglement dynamics is studied in the double Jaynes-Cummings model composed of two coupled cavities.Effect of the cavity-cavity coupling constant A and the atomic initial states on entanglement sudden death(ESD) and entanglement sudden birth(ESB) is analysed.By studying the atomic concurrence,it was shown that when the atomic initial states are the first kind Bell-like states,ESD and ESB doesn't appear,coupling of the cavities can increase the atomic entanglement and entanglement occurs even the initial states are disentangled.When the atomic initial states are the second kind Bell-like states,the time intervals between the ESD and ESB,and whether the ESD occurs or not are controlled by the coupling constant A.The atomic entanglement can't be produced by the coupling between the cavities when the atomic initial states are disentangled and in the second kind Bell-like states.

The entanglement between two isolated atoms in the double mode–mode competition model

Qin Wu, Mao-Fa Fang, Cai Jian-Wu +1 more

Extending the double Jaynes–Cummings model to a more complicated case where the mode–mode competition is considered, we investigate the entanglement character of two isolated atoms by means of concurrence, and discuss the dependence of atom–atom entanglement on the different initial state and the relative coupling strength between the atom and the corresponding cavity field. The results show that the amplitude and the period of the atom–atom entanglement evolution can be controlled by the choice of initial state and relative coupling strength, respectively. We find that the phenomenon of entanglement sudden death (ESD) is sensitive to the initial conditions. The length of the time interval for zero entanglement depends not only on the initial degree of entanglement between two atoms but also on the relative coupling strength of atom–field interaction. The ESD effect can be weakened by enhancing the mode–mode competition between the three- and single-photon processes.
