STUDY ON QUANTUM CORRELATIONS FOR CIRCUIT QED STATES

Abstract

We investigate the dynamic evolution behaviors of entanglement and geometric quantum discord of coupled superconducting qubits in circuit QED system. We carefully analyze the effect of cavity field quantum state on the quantum entanglement and quantum correlations dynamic behaviors of coupling superconducting qubits. The results show that when the cavity field is in coherent state, with the average photon number increasing, the quantum discord death (including entanglement death) would become more difficult to appear, that is to say prolonging the survival time of quantum correlations will be a benefit for keeping the quantum correlations. When the cavity field is in squeezed state, the squeezed amplitude parameters are all too big or too small to keep the system quantum correlations. However, the further study results show that with the initial relative phase of coupling superconducting increasing, qubits can also keep the quantum correlations.

Investigations into quantum correlation of coupled qubits in a squeezed vacuum reservoir

Yinghua Ji, Yongmei Liu

In this paper, we investigate the quantum correlation of coupled qubits which are initially in maximally entangled mixed states in a squeezed vacuum reservoir. We compare and analyze the effects of squeezed parameters on quantum discord and quantum concurrence. The results show that in a squeezed vacuum reservoir, the quantum discord and quantum concurrence perform with completely opposite behaviors with the change of squeezed parameters. Quantum discord survives longer with the increase of squeezed amplitude parameter, but entanglement death is faster on the contrary. The results also indicate that the classical correlation of the system is smaller than quantum discord in a vacuum reservoir, while it is bigger than quantum discord in a squeezed vacuum reservoir. The quantum discord and classical correlation are more robust than quantum concurrence in the two reservoir environments, which indicates that the entanglement actually is easily affected by decoherence and quantum discord has a stronger ability to avoid decoherence in a squeezed vacuum reservoir.

We carefully investigate the effect of cavity field quantum state on the quantum entanglement and supercurrent dynamical behaviors of coupling superconducting qubits in circuit QED system. The results show that not only the time-evolving dynamics of entanglement exhibit collapse and revival oscillation behaviors，but also that the single sideband envelope of current is almost similar with the time-evolving curve of entanglement.

Quantum discord, entanglement of formation, and JS coherence in hybrid superconducting qubit-cavity system

M Hashem, H Allhibi, F Aljuaydi +1 more

Abstract This study investigates the dynamics of quantum correlations and coherence in an open hybrid superconducting (SC) qubit-cavity system, focusing on quantum discord (QD), entanglement of formation and JS coherence. The results show that the initial cavity state, Ising interactions, qubit-cavity detuning, and SC qubit-cavity couplings significantly affects the quantum behavior of the system. Furthermore, the study highlights that increasing qubit–qubit interaction coupling via Ising interactions and tuning the qubit-cavity detuning have strong effects on quantum correlations, with QD showing greater resilience compared to entanglement, especially in noisy environments. These results highlight the importance of controlling both the initial cavity state and the interaction strengths to optimize quantum correlations and coherence. The insights gained from this study are a valuable contribution to the development of robust quantum systems that improve strategies for SC quantum processors and the broader field of quantum computing.

Quantum Discord of Coupling Qubits in Decoherence-Free Subspace and Squeezed Vacuum Reservoir

Ju Ju Hu, Haijiang Hu, Ying Hua Ji

We investigate the dynamical behavior of quantum discord for the coupling qubits that placed in squeezed vacuum reservoir and initially in decoherence-free subspace (DFS). The results show that the DFS for resisting the effects from environmental decoherence and disentanglement is not the DFS of quantum discord. We also find that under certain conditions, the quantum discord and entanglement perform completely inversely versus the squeezed parameters. The quantum discord is controlled by the squeezed parameters, especially in the initial stage of the evolution, the bigger the parameter is, and the longer the time of initial death will be.

Classical correlation and quantum discord mediated by cavity in two coupled qubits

Chengzhi Wang, Chun-Xian Li, Liu-Ying Nie +1 more

We study the dynamics of classical correlation and quantum discord of two coupled two-level atoms interacting with a cavity initially in vacuum, coherent and thermal equilibrium states, respectively. The interplay between the atom–atom coupling and mean number of photons is considered. We find that, for a cavity in a vacuum state, classical correlation or quantum discord shows a sudden change in behaviour during the evolution, and evolves periodically for zero and very large qubit–qubit couplings. However, for coherent and thermal equilibrium states, the classical correlation and quantum discord present the phenomenon of collapse–revival when the qubit–qubit coupling is much greater than the mean number of photons. The period of collapse–revival becomes long as the qubit–qubit coupling and mean number of photons increase. The relationship between quantum discord and entanglement in the studied system is considered.

Thermal effect on the generated quantum correlation between two superconducting qubits

A-B A Mohamed

Abstract Quantum correlations in two superconducting (SC) qubits, placed in an SC-cavity and driven by noise fields, are investigated by using quantum discord (QD) and measurement-induced nonlocality with quantum entanglement (QE). It was found that the initial values of QD and measurement-induced non-locality (MIN) grow from zero-values to non-zero values. This growth of quantum correlations is due to the unitary qubits–field interaction. It is found that by increasing the coupling to the thermal environment, the generated correlations (of QD, MIN and QE) return to their zero-values and the phenomena of the sudden death and sudden birth only occur for QE. It is interesting to note that the state of two superconducting qubits has the quantum discord and quantum nonlocality without entanglement. The ability of the thermal field parameter for the disappearance of the generated correlations depend on the spontaneous emission parameter and vice versa.
