Pairwise correlations via quantum discord and its geometric measure in a four-qubit spin chain

Abstract

The dynamic of pairwise correlations, including quantum entanglement (QE) and discord (QD) with geometric measure of quantum discord (GMQD), are shown in the four-qubit Heisenberg XX spin chain. The results show that the effect of the entanglement degree of the initial state on the pairwise correlations is stronger for alternate qubits than it is for nearest-neighbor qubits. This parameter results in sudden death for QE, but it cannot do so for QD and GMQD. With different values for this entanglement parameter of the initial state, QD and GMQD differ and are sensitive for any change in this parameter. It is found that GMQD is more robust than both QD and QE to describe correlations with nonzero values, which offers a valuable resource for quantum computation.

Quantum Correlations in Heisenberg XY Chain

Yinyan Zhu, Yong Zhang

Quantum correlations measured by quantum discord (QD), measurement-induced distance (MID), and geometric measure of quantum discord (GMQD) in two-qubit Heisenberg XY spin chain are investigated. The effects of DM interaction and anisotropic on the three correlations are considered. Characteristics of various correlation measures for the two-qubit states are compared. The increasing D z increases QD, MID and GMQD monotonously while the increasing anisotropy both increases and decreases QD and GMQD. The three quantum correlations are always existent at very high temperature. MID is always larger than QD, but there is no definite ordering between QD and GMQD.

Geometric measure of quantum discord under decoherence

Xiao-Ming Lu, Zhengjun Xi, Zhe Sun +1 more

The dynamics of a geometric measure of the quantum discord (GMQD) under decoherence is investigated. We show that the GMQD of a two-qubit state can be alternatively obtained through the singular values of a $3\times4$ matrix whose elements are the expectation values of Pauli matrices of the two qubits. By using Heisenberg picture, the analytic results of the GMQD is obtained for three typical kinds of the quantum decoherence channels. We compare the dynamics of the GMQD with that of the quantum discord and of entanglement. We show that a sudden change in the decay rate of the GMQD does not always imply that of the quantum discord, and vice versa. We also give a general analysis on the sudden change in behavior and find that at least for the Bell diagonal states, the sudden changes in decay rates of the GMQD and that of the quantum discord occur simultaneously.

Geometric measure of quantum discord for superpositions of Dicke states

Xiaolei Yin, Zhengjun Xi, Xiao-Ming Lu +2 more

The pairwise quantum correlations of symmetric multi-qubit states are studied by using the geometric measure of quantum discord (GMQD). The explicit expressions of the GMQD for the Dicke states and their superpositions are given. By comparing the GMQD with quantum discord, we conclude that they display similar behaviour. From the results, we know that most of the states we have considered exhibit pairwise quantum correlations.

Geometric measurement of quantum correlation for a kind of X-state

Weijun Gui

Quantum discord(QD) can be used to characterize quantum correlation of a quantum system. Based on geometric measurement of QD(GMQD),quantum correlation of the single-parameter X- state was calculated,and the results for the case were also given under three different quantum channels.For the amplitude-damping channel,by comparing concurrence and GMQD of the X-state mentioned above using graphical method,it's concluded that GMQD exhibits more robust than concurrence when the quantum system is exposed to environment.

Dynamics of quantum correlations in four-qubit XXZ Heisenberg model with external magnetic field

Su-Bok Ri, Gwang-Jin Kim, Ha Kim +1 more

In this paper we argue about the quantum correlation (quantum entanglement and geometric quantum discord) in four-qubit XXZ Heisenberg Model. Here, the influence of uniform magnetic field on the dynamics of quantum correlation in cases of the antiferromagnetism has been mainly investigated. According to the results, it has been illustrated that the role of the uniform magnetic field on the dynamics of quantum correlation depends on the selection of the initial state. Furthermore, geometric quantum discord exhibits greater robustness compared to quantum entanglement. Also results show that the max values of quantum correlations decrease and the duration of quantum entanglement sudden death gets longer as purity parameter decreases, and that exchange interaction can substantially make an effect on the dynamics of the quantum correlation.

A Comparison of the Concurrence and the Quantum Discord in a Two-Qubit System

Guo-Hui Yang, Rong Wang

The quantum correlation dynamics in an anisotropic Heisenberg XYZ model under decoherence are investigated with the use of concurrence C and quantum discord (QD). There is a remarkable difference between the time evolution behaviors of these two correlation measures: there is a entanglement-sudden-death phenomenon in the concurrence while there is none in QD, which is valid for all of the initial states of this system, and the interval time of the entanglement death is found to be strongly dependent on the initial states and the parameters B and Δ. With the long-time limit the steady entanglement (SC) and steady quantum discord (SQD) can be obtained. The magnitudes of SC and SQD are closely related to the parameters B and Δ, while the strength of the Dzyaloshinskii—Moriya interaction, D, has no influence. In addition, the effects of the parameters B and Δ on SC and SQD display such different and complicated features that one cannot obtain a uniform law about them, thus we give an analytical explanation of this phenomenon. Lastly, it can be noted that the value of SC is not always larger than SQD, which is strongly dependent on the parameters B and Δ.
