Dependence of entanglement dynamics on the global classical dynamical regime

Abstract

We analyze the connections between the dynamical generation of continuous variable entanglement and the underlying classical trajectories in pairs of coupled oscillators. In the quantization of a periodic cycle, we find periodic entanglement which has twice the frequency of the corresponding classical motion. Such frequency doubling continues to hold true in the entanglement dynamics for a second model that exhibits a two-frequency orbit in the classical domain. In addition, the periodicity and the quasiperiodicity of the entanglement are found to be independent of the local classical dynamical behavior. Finally, in our third model, the entanglement production rate is found to be (i) higher in the chaotic regime and (ii) insensitive toward the choice of regular or chaotic initial condition in the mixed regime. In summary, we have illustrated through our sample models that the generation of dynamical pattern of entanglement can depend completely on the global classical dynamical regime without being influenced by the local classical behavior.

Quantum-classical correspondence in entanglement production: Entropy and classical tori

Shihui Zhang, Quanlin Jie

We analyze the connections between entanglement dynamics and classical trajectories in a semiclassical regime for two systems: A pair of coupled oscillators and the Jaynes-Cummings model. We find that entanglement production depends on classical invariant tori and such phenomenon is closely related to the power spectra of classical trajectories. Classical power spectrum with a larger number of frequency components corresponds to larger entanglement. We introduce a frequency entropy to describe the classical frequency distribution. It is found that there is good correspondence between the classical frequency entropies and the maximum von Neumann entropies.

Study of continuous variable entanglement in coupled oscillator systems by means of the dynamical two-step approach

Ning Ning Chung

We have extended the applicability of the two-step approach to higher-dimensional problem, and have further developed it to evaluate the quantum dynamics and stationary states of a general class of coupled anharmonic oscillator system. This new approach has enabled us to investigate the topic of continuous variable entanglement within these coupled oscillator systems with good numerical efficiency. In particular, we have applied it to study the relation between entanglement, squeezing, and quantum uncertainties, of the systems’ ground states. Interestingly, while the relation between quadrature squeezing and entanglement depends sensitively on the nonlinear potential, the influence of nonlinear perturbation on the entropy-uncertainty relation is minimal, especially when the entanglement between the two oscillators is large. We have also explored into the dynamics of entanglement where we have found that entanglement dynamics can depend completely on the global classical dynamical regime, without being influenced by the local classical behavior.

Scattering-induced dynamical entanglement and the quantum-classical correspondence

M. Lombardi, A. Matzkin

The generation of entanglement produced by a local potential interaction in a bipartite system is investigated. The degree of entanglement is contrasted with the underlying classical dynamics for a Rydberg molecule (a charged particle colliding on a kicked top). Entanglement is seen to depend on the structure of classical phase-space rather than on the global dynamical regime. As a consequence, regular classical dynamics can in certain circumstances be associated with higher entanglement generation than chaotic dynamics. In addition, quantum effects also come into play: for example, partial revivals, which are expected to persist in the semiclassical limit, affect the long-time behaviour of the reduced linear entropy. These results suggest that entanglement may not be a pertinent universal signature of chaos.

Entanglement dynamics and classical frequency spectrum in an integrable system

Shihui Zhang, Qing Wu Wang, Hongbao Liu

The role of classical dynamics in entanglement production for an integrable system is analyzed with a model of two coupled oscillators. It is found that the entanglement of an intergrable system is closely connected with the frequency of classical motion. For different classical orbits, the entanglement of the system increases with the classical frequency entropy, which can reveal the frequency spectrum of the classical motion.

Quantum-Classical Correspondence in Entanglement Production of the Spin System:Entanglement and Classical Frequency Entropy

Jie Quan-Lin

This paper is devoted to analyzing the connections between entanglement dynamics and classical trajectories with a model of coupled rotor.In the numerical simulation of quantum evolution and the frequency spectrum analysis of classical orbit,we find that entanglement production depends on classical orbit and such phenomenon is closely related to the power spectra of classical trajectories.Classical power spectrum with a more complicated structure corresponds to faster entanglement.With the classical power spectrum,we introduce a new quantity,i.e.,the frequency entropy,to measure the stability of classical orbit.The results show that there is good correspondence between the classical frequency entropies and the maximum von Neumann entropies.

Quantum-Classical Correspondence and Entanglement in Periodically Driven Spin Systems

Meenu Kumari

This dissertation sets out to examine some fundamental open questions in quantum physics regarding quantum-classical correspondence in regular versus chaotic systems. Specifically, we study these questions using approaches in quantum information science in an experimentally realized textbook model of quantum chaos - the quantum kicked top (QKT). \n \nThe effect of classical chaos on the generation of entanglement in spin systems has been a field of active research for a couple of decades. Whether high entanglement in these systems is a hallmark of chaos or not remains a widely debated topic. We explain the connection between entanglement and chaos in spin systems and resolve previous conflicting results. The previous studies have mostly drawn conclusions from numerical work on a few initial states in regular versus chaotic regions. We instead focus on stable and unstable periodic orbits because chaos emerges around unstable periodic orbits. We first propose a new set of criteria for determining whether quantum evolution will correspond to the classical trajectory in a localized manner at stable periodic orbits in periodically driven systems. These criteria can be used to calculate the quantum numbers that will lead to quantum-classical correspondence even in a deep quantum regime, and thus to quantify the well-known Bohr correspondence principle. Next, we analytically show a direct connection between entanglement generation and a measure of delocalization of a quantum state in spin systems. More concretely, we describe a method to calculate an upper bound on entanglement generation in any bipartition of spin systems, where the upper bound is a function of trace distance between the evolved state and the most localized classical-like separable states. This method along with our criteria for localized evolution enables us to explain the behaviour of entanglement in both deep quantum and semiclassical regimes for regular as well as chaotic regions. Hence, our analysis resolves the long-standing debates regarding the connection between classical chaos and quantum entanglement in deep quantum and semiclassical regimes. \n \nIn addition to the study of entanglement, we perform the first study of nonlocality, and the effect of chaos on its generation in the QKT. Since nonlocality and entanglement are inequivalent quantum resources, the effect of chaos on nonlocality merits an explicit study. Violations of Bell inequalities in the presence of spacelike separation among the subsystems imply nonlocality - meaning nonlocal correlations between subsystems of the total spin system. We show that the QKT evolution can lead to states that violate multiqubit Bell inequalities and hence provides a deterministic method to prepare nonlocal quantum states. Our numerical results suggest a correlation between delocalized evolution of a pure quantum state and generation of nonlocality in the quantum state. We further demonstrate that dynamical tunnelling - a classically forbidden phenomenon - in the QKT leads to the generation of Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ)-like states for even numbers of qubits. We analytically prove that these states are maximally nonlocal. On the other hand, we numerically show that any reduced state of the QKT obtained by tracing out a subsystem of the total spin system does not violate Bell inequalities. We provide an analytical explanation of the numerical results for $2-$qubit reduced states by formulating and proving two general theorems regarding $2-$qubit Bell inequalities. These theorems imply that any $2-$qubit mixed state having a symmetric extension or symmetric purification cannot violate the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality. This highlights fundamental connections between two important and distinct concepts in quantum information science - Bell inequalities and symmetric extension of quantum states. \n \nApart from providing deeper insights into the fundamental questions of quantum-classical correspondence and new approaches to analyze quantum chaos, the methods developed in this thesis can be used to design quantum systems that can efficiently generate entanglement and nonlocality. Thus, our results could have interesting applications in quantum computing and quantum information science.
