BIPARTITE AND MULTIPARTITE CORRELATIONS OF COUPLED QUBITS IN A NON-MARKOVIAN ENVIRONMENT: HIERARCHY EQUATION METHOD

Abstract

We study bipartite and multipartite correlations of several coupled qubits within a common non-Markovian bath using the hierarchy equation method. This method does not use the rotating-wave and Born–Markovian approximations. The interaction between the qubits and their coupling strength with the bath have remarkable influence on the dynamics of quantum correlations. The entanglement sudden death (ESD) phenomenon, the amount of stationary state concurrence and spin squeezing can be controled by the non-Markovianity of the environment and interactions between qubits. These properties may be useful for purposes of quantum information processing with multiqubit system in non-Markovian environments.

Quantum synchronization and correlations of two qutrits in a non-Markovian bath

Jian-Song Zhang

We investigate quantum synchronization and correlations of two qutrits in one non-Markovian environment using the hierarchy equation method. There is no direct interaction between two qutrits and each qutrit interacts with the same non-Markovian environment. The influence of the temperature of the bath, correlation time and coupling strength between qutrits and bath on the quantum synchronization and correlations of two qutrits are studied without the Markovian, Born and rotating wave approximations. We also discuss the influence of dissipation and dephasing on the synchronization of two qutrits. In the presence of dissipation, the phase locking between two qutrits without any direct interaction can be achieved when each qutrit interacts with the common bath. Two qutrits within one common bath cannot be syncrhonized in the purely dephasing case. In addition, the Arnold tongue can be significantly broadened by decreasing the correlation time of two qutrits and bath. Markovian baths are more suitable for synchronizing qutrits than non-Markovian baths.

Non-Markovian Dynamics of Quantum and Classical Correlations in the Presence of System-Bath Coherence

Chuan‐Feng Li, Hao-Tian Wang, Hong-Yuan Yuan +2 more

We present a detailed study on the dynamics of two-qubit correlations in non-Markovian environments, applying the hierarchy equations approach. This treatment is free from the limitation of perturbative, Markovian or rotating wave approximations. It is shown that crossovers and sudden changes in the classical and quantum correlations can appear when the strength of the interaction between qubits is gradually reduced. For some special initial states, there are even sudden transitions between the classical and quantum correlations.

Entanglement and decoherence of coupled superconductor qubits in a non-Markovian environment

Yinghua Ji, Juju Hu

The sudden death of entanglement is investigated for the non-Markovian dynamic process of a pair of interacting flux qubits under a thermal bath. The results show that, for initially two-qubit entangled states, entanglement sudden death (ESD) always happens in the thermal reservoir, where its appearance strongly depends on the environment. In particular, ESD of the qubits occurs more easily for the non-Markovian process than for the Markovian one.

Entanglement decoherence of coupled superconductor qubits entangled states in non-Markovian environment

Yinghua Ji, Lin Xu

The evolution of entangled decoherence of coupling superconducting qubits in non-Markovian environment is investigated in detail using concurrence function.The results show that,for coupling superconducting qubit under different entangled initial states,because of the role of memory feedback due to environmental effect,the entanglement of coupling superconducting qubits under a thermal bath always tends to zero monotonically.Further results also showed that,the sudden death of entanglement will soon occur in non-Markovian process,stronger the dissipation,faster the death of entanglement.But in Markovian process,it tends to death of entanglement slowly.

Non-Markovian entanglement dynamics between two coupled qubits in the same environment

Wei Cui, Zairong Xi, Yu Pan

We analyze the dynamics of the entanglement in two independent non-Markovian channels. In particular, we focus on the entanglement dynamics as a function of the initial states and the channel parameters like the temperature and the ratio $r$ between $ω_0$ the characteristic frequency of the quantum system of interest, and $ω_c$ the cut-off frequency of Ohmic reservoir. We give a stationary analysis of the concurrence and find that the dynamic of non-markovian entanglement concurrence $\mathcal{C}_ρ(t)$ at temperature $k_BT=0$ is different from the $k_BT>0$ case. We find that "entanglement sudden death" (ESD) depends on the initial state when $k_BT=0$, otherwise the concurrence always disappear at finite time when $k_BT>0$, which means that ESD must happen. The main result of this paper is that the non-Markovian entanglement dynamic is fundamentally different from the Markovian one. In the Markovian channel, entanglement decays exponentially and vanishes only asymptotically, but in the non-Markovian channel the concurrence $\mathcal{C}_ρ(t)$ oscillates, especially in the high temperature case. Then an open-loop controller adjusted by the temperature is proposed to control the entanglement and prolong the ESD time.

The entanglement dynamics of the bipartite quantum system: toward entanglement sudden death

Wei Cui, Zairong Xi, Yu Pan

We investigate the entanglement dynamics of the bipartite quantum system between two qubits with the dissipative environment. We begin with the standard Markovian master equation in the Lindblad form and the initial state which is prepared in the extended Werner-like state: ρ Φ AB (0). We examine the conditions for entanglement sudden death (ESD) and calculate the corresponding ESD time by the Wootters concurrence. We observe that ESD is determined by the parameters such as the mean occupation number of the environment N , amount of initial entanglement α and the purity r . For N = 0, we get the analytical expressions of both ESD condition and ESD time. For N > 0 we give a theoretical analysis that ESD always occurs, and simulate the concurrence as a function of γ 0 t and one of the parameters N , α and r .
