Properties on the distant distribution of entanglement for arbitrary two-qubit pure states via noisy quantum channels

Abstract

This paper investigates the change of entanglement for transmitting an arbitrarily entangled two-qubit pure state via one of three typical kinds of noisy quantum channels: amplitude damping quantum channel, phase damping quantum channel and depolarizing quantum channel. It finds, in all these three cases, that the output distant entanglement (measured by concurrence) reduces proportionately with respect to its initial amount, and the decaying ratio is determined only by the noisy characteristics of quantum channels and independent of the form of initial input state.

Entanglement distribution via noisy quantum channels

We investigate the change of entanglement for distributing an arbitrarily entangled two-qubit pure state via three typical kinds of noisy quantum channels—amplitude damping, phase damping and depolarizing quantum channels. We find that for one-qubit transmission, the output distant entanglement (measured by concurrence) reduces proportionately with respect to its initial amount, and the entanglement-decay ratio is determined only by the noisy characteristics of quantum channels. For two-qubit transmission, the rule of the entanglement change is complex. For phase damping quantum channels, the four Bell states and are all the optimal entanglement-distribution (OED) input states. But for amplitude damping quantum channels, only |ψ ± ⟩ are the OED input. For depolarizing quantum channels, and in the case of symmetrical quantum channels, the four Bell states are still the OED input. We also discuss the problem of entanglement sudden death (ESD) and find that for all the three types of quantum channels, ESD can be found.

Entanglement restoration using environment-assisted measurement and quantum measurement reversal

Wang Qiong, Lan Xu

Abstract Based on the quantum technique of environment-assisted measurement and quantum measurement reversal, we systematically investigate the restoration of quantum entanglement for distributing a two-qubit pure state via three typical kinds of noisy quantum channels-amplitude damping, phase damping and depolarizing quantum channels. Special attention is paid to the unsymmetrical two-qubit arbitrarily entangled states transmission. The analytical or numerical simulations results show that for arbitrarily one-qubit entangled state or two-qubit states transmission, the output distant entanglement could be drastically restored to the initial value in all these three cases.

Entanglement Dynamics of Two-Qubit System in Different Types of Noisy Channels

Shan Chuan-Jia, Jibing Liu, Cheng Wei-Wen +3 more

In this paper, we study entanglement dynamics of a two-qubit extended Werner-like state locally interacting with independent noisy channels, i.e., amplitude damping, phase damping, and depolarizing channels. We show that the purity of initial entangled state has direct impacts on the entanglement robustness in each noisy channel. That is, if the initial entangled state is prepared in mixed instead of pure form, the state may exhibit entanglement sudden death (ESD) and/or be decreased for the critical probability at which the entanglement disappear.

Entanglement Dynamics of Arbitrary Two-Qubit Pure States under Amplitude and Phase Damping Channels

Feng-Jian Jiang, Ming-Jun Shi, Jiangfeng Du

Analytic results are presented for the entanglement evolution for arbitrary two-qubit pure state under amplitude damping and particularly phase damping channel. The disentanglement time and the relationship between it and the form of initial state are given explicitly. The lower bounds of disentanglement time are obtained and shown to be the monotone functions of initial concurrence.

Characterizing Entanglement in Combinations of Bell States through Superposition and Mixing: An Increase in Entanglement on Introducing Depolarizing, Phase Damping, and Amplitude Damping Noise

Nishant Chaudhari, Jean-François Van Huele

We systematically characterize quantum entanglement in all sixteen combinations of two-qubit Bell states across three operational regimes: pure superposition, noiseless mixing, and asymmetric mixing of one noisy and one pure Bell state. For pure superpositions, we calculate the von Neumann entropy and show that entanglement depends critically on the relative phase phi between superposed states. For mixed states, we use concurrence C under three physically motivated decoherence channels. The Depolarizing (DP) and Phase Damping (PD) channels are modeled as global, collective operations on the two-qubit Hilbert space, while Amplitude Damping (AD) is treated as independent local decay on each qubit, reflecting the asymmetric, energy-dissipating nature of spontaneous emission. A central and counterintuitive result is that increasing noise can raise concurrence in specific parameter regimes across all three channels. We further map the boundary between mathematical entanglement (C > 0) and operational quantum non-locality using the Horodecki criterion, finding this boundary to be strongly channel-dependent. Under Phase Damping, the Bell-local entanglement regime vanishes entirely for identical and same-bases mixtures, meaning any surviving entanglement guarantees a CHSH violation. Under Depolarizing noise, a large Bell-local region requires mixing probability r > 1/sqrt(2) to recover non-locality at maximum noise. For Amplitude Damping, certain mixtures exhibit a non-monotonic Horodecki parameter M(T): concurrence decreases monotonically with noise, yet the capacity for CHSH violation is lost at intermediate noise levels and restored at high noise, as maximal damping repurifies the noisy branch. These results provide a unified analytical reference for entanglement and non-locality management across Bell-state combinations and decoherence channels relevant to NISQ architectures.

Statistical portrait of the entanglement decay of two-qubit memories

K. M. Fonseca-Romero, Julián Martínez-Rincón, Carlos Viviescas

We present an approach to the study of entanglement decay which focuses on collective properties. As an example, we investigate the entanglement decay of a two-qubit system produced by local identical reservoirs acting on the qubits for three experimentally and theoretically relevant cases. We study the probability distributions of disentanglement times, a quantity independent of the measure used to quantify entanglement, and the time-dependent probability distribution of concurrence. Analytical results are obtained for initially uniformly distributed pure states. The calculation of these probability distributions gives a complete insight into how different decoherence channels affect the entanglement initially contained in the set of two-qubit pure states. Numerical results are reported for randomly distributed initial mixed states. Although the paper focuses in Markovian noisy channels, we show that our results also describe nonautonomous and non-Markovian channels.
