Tripartite states' Bell-nonlocality sudden death in an environmental spin chain

Abstract

The tripartite nonlocality is investigated by the extent of violation of the Bell inequality in a three-qubit system coupled to an environmental Ising spin chain. In the weak-coupling region, we show that the tripartite Bell-inequality violations can be fully destroyed in a finite time under decoherence induced by the coupling with the spin environment. In addition, how the environment affects the Bell-nonlocality sudden death is demonstrated.

Tripartite states Bell-nonlocality sudden death in a spin environment with multisite interaction

Xie Li-Jun, Deng-Yu Zhang, Xin-Wen Wang +3 more

This paper demonstrates that multipartite Bell-inequality violations can be fully destroyed in a finite time in three-qubit states coupled to a general XY spin-chain with a three-site interaction environment. The Mermin—Ardehali—Belinksii—Klyshko inequality is used to detect the degree of nonlocality, as measured by the extent of their violations. The effects of system-environment couplings, the size of degrees of freedom of the environment and the strength of the three-site interaction on the Bell-inequality violations are given. The results indicate that the Bell-inequality violations of the tripartite states will be completely destroyed by decoherence under certain conditions for the GHZ state. The decoherence-free subspaces of our model are identified and the entanglement of quantum states is also discussed.

Tripartite states Bell-nonlocality sudden death in a quantum-critical environment

Deng-Yu Zhang, Xie Li-Jun, Shi-Qing Tang +3 more

We demonstrate that multipartite Bell-inequalities violations can be fully destroyed in finite time in three-qubit states under a quantum-critical environment, which is an Ising model in a transverse field. We use the Mermin-Ardehali—Belinksii—Klyshko (MABK) inequality to detect the degree of nonlocality as measured by the extent of their violations. The effects of system-environment couplings, the size of degrees of freedom of environment and the strength of transverse field on the Bell-inequality violations are given for two different initial states, namely, the W class and GHZ class states. The results indicate that the Bell-inequality violations of the tripartite states will be completely destroyed by the decoherence under certain conditions.

Tripartite States Bell-Nonlocality Sudden Death under Stochastic Dephasing

Deng-Yu Zhang, Xie Li-Jun, Shi-Qing Tang +2 more

We demonstrate that the multipartite Bell-inequality violations can be fully destroyed in a unite time in three-qubit systems under decoherence induced by stochastic dephasing. It is significant that the study of tripartite systems can show fundamental characteristics which do not exist in bipartite systems.

Decoherence-Induced Sudden Death of Entanglement and Bell Nonlocality

Dong-Gil Im, Yoon-Ho Kim

Decoherence due to the unwanted interaction between a quantum system and environment leads to the degradation of quantum coherence. In particular, for an entangled state, decoherence makes a loss of entanglement and Bell nonlocality known as entanglement sudden death (ESD), and Bell nonlocality sudden death (BNSD). Here, we theoretically investigate the entanglement and Bell nonlocality of a bipartite entangled state under three types of decoherence, amplitude damping, phase damping, and depolarizing. Our result provides the bound of decoherence strength that does not lose the entanglement and Bell nonlocality. In addition, we find two interesting features. One is that the entanglement can survive even though one of the entangled qubits is affected by a large strength of decoherence if the other qubit is affected by a small enough strength of decoherence except for the depolarizing. The second one is that when a specific form of entangled state is under amplitude damping, the Bell nonlocality shows an asymmetric behavior respect to the decoherence strengths on each qubit. Our work provides comprehensive information on ESD and BNSD for the bipartite entangled state which will be useful to implement quantum information processing in the presence of decoherence.

Bell-nonlocality sudden birth with intrinsic decoherence

Qiang Zheng, Xiaoyao Xie, Qi‐Jun Zhi +2 more

Taking into account the intrinsic decoherence effect, we study the tripartite nonlocality of a three-qubit Heisenberg spin system with three-body interaction by the generalized Bell inequality. We have found that there is Bell-nonlocality sudden birth, and the three-body interaction is vital to achieving it.

Revival of Bell nonlocality across a quantum spin chain

Josep Amengual i Batle, M.M. Abutalib, S. Abdalla +1 more

The transmission of pure and mixed states along a quantum spin chain is investigated. Nonlocality between two qubits will evolve as it is transmitted through the quantum channel in a way that may violate or not the Clauser–Horne–Shimony–Holt (CHSH) Bell inequality at different times. This violation of local realism is analogue to the so-called sudden death and sudden birth features of entanglement. In the quantum channel, which will turn to be a damping one, some (mixed) states will be preferred according to the nature of the quantum correlations that are preserved during the evolution along the spin chain.
