Dynamical Evolution and Entanglement in a Nonlinear Interacting System

Sun Hui-Ying, Huang Xiao-Li, Yi Xue Xi

Abstract

We investigate a few features of entanglement of two types of particles coupled through a nonlinear interaction. It is shown that the entanglement created by the nonlinear interaction can reflect nonlinearity of the system. Possible observation of our prediction in a double-well trapped Bose–Einstein condensate is discussed.

ENTANGLEMENT DYNAMICS OF FLUCTUATIONS IN TWO-MODE BOSE–EINSTEIN CONDENSATES

P. L. Shu, L. C. Wang, X. X. Yi

The entanglement dynamics of fluctuations in two weakly coupled Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) is studied in this paper. By calculating the time evolution of entanglement between two fluctuations of condensates in a double-well potential, we show that the nonlinear tunneling transition can be reflected in the entanglement dynamics of fluctuations in BECs. This complements the study on the entanglement dynamics of BECs based on the mean-field approximation.

Quantum squeezing and entanglement in a two-mode Bose-Einstein condensate with time-dependent Josephson-like coupling

Seok Jin Choi, N. P. Bigelow

Dynamical evolution of quantum mechanical squeezing and entanglement in a two-mode Bose-Einstein condensate (TBEC) with an adiabatic, time-varying Raman coupling is studied by finding analytical expressions for these quantities. In particular, we study the entanglement between the atoms in the condensate as well as that between the two modes. The nature of the enhanced quantum correlations in TBEC is clarified by considering squeezing and entanglement both with and without the nonlinear interaction turned on; it is found that entanglement approaching maximal value can be achieved with the nonlinear interactions present. Somewhat counterintuitively, greater squeezing is found in the absence of nonlinear interactions. This is due to the collapses and revivals of the TBEC quantum state induced by the nonlinear interactions. In addition, results involving the self-trapping phase state of TBEC indicate potential for creating a dynamically stable, macroscopic entangled quantum state which is relatively robust with respect to atom number fluctuations.

Quantum entanglement manifestation of transition to nonlinear self-trapping for Bose-Einstein condensates in a symmetric double well

Liu Fu, Jie Liu

We investigate the nonlinear self-trapping phenomenon of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a symmetric double well, emphasizing its underlying dynamical phase transition. As the nonlinear parameter characterizing the interaction between the degenerate atoms increases, the BEC becomes self-trapped, manifesting an asymmetric distribution of the atomic density profile. The essence of this phenomenon is revealed to be a continuous phase transition and the underlying critical behavior is studied analytically and found to follow a logarithmic scaling law. We then go beyond the mean-field treatment and extend our treatment to discuss the effect of many-body quantum fluctuations on the transition. It is found that the transition point is shifted and the scaling law is broken. In particular, the quantum phase transition is accompanied by a change of the entanglement entropy, which is found to reach a maximum at the transition point. The underlying physics is revealed.

Entanglement dynamics in two-component Bose–Einstein condensates

Hao Ya-Jiang, Liang Jiu-Qing

Based on the exact solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for two-species Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) consisting of two hyperfine states of the atoms coupled by a tuned adiabatic and time-varying Raman coupling, we obtain analytically the entanglement dynamics of the system with various initial states, particularly the SU(2) coherent state, for both of cases with and without the nonlinear interactions. It is shown that the effect of nonlinear interaction on the entanglement appears only in a longer time period depending on the BEC parameters.

Two-mode entanglement in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates

H. T. Ng, P. T. Leung

We study the generation of two-mode entanglement in a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in a double-well potential. The dynamics of the system is shown to be equivalent to that of two coupled harmonic oscillators in the low excitation regime. Strong entanglement between the two components can be achieved if the interspecies interaction is sufficiently strong. In particular, the condensate constitutes a symmetric Gaussian system and hence its entanglement of formation can be measured directly by fluctuations in the quadratures of the two constituent components.

Entanglement and entropy production in coupled single-mode Bose-Einstein condensates

Izabella Lovas, József Fortágh, Eugene Demler +1 more

We investigate the time evolution of the entanglement entropy of coupled single-mode Bose-Einstein condensates in a double-well potential at $T=0$ temperature by combining numerical results with analytical approximations. We find that the coherent oscillations of the condensates result in entropy oscillations on the top of a linear entropy generation at short time scales. Due to dephasing, the entropy eventually saturates to a stationary value, in spite of the lack of equilibration. We show that this long-time limit of the entropy reflects the semiclassical dynamics of the system, revealing the self-trapping phase transition of the condensates at large interaction strength by a sudden entropy jump. We compare the stationary limit of the entropy to the prediction of a classical microcanonical ensemble and find surprisingly good agreement in spite of the nonequilibrium state of the system. Our predictions should be experimentally observable on a Bose-Einstein condensate in a double-well potential or on a two-component condensate with interstate coupling.
