Enhancing quantum discord in cavity QED by an added nonlinear Kerr-like medium

Abstract

We investigate the quantum discord dynamics of two noninteracting two-level atoms, each trapped in a single-mode optical cavity which is filled with a nonlinear Kerr-like medium. It is found that quantum discord vanishes only asymptotically although entanglement disappears suddenly during the time evolution. Furthermore, we explore the influence of the nonlinear Kerr-like medium on the dynamics of quantum discord, quantum mutual information, and classical correlation of two atoms. It is shown that the amount of quantum discord, quantum mutual information, and classical correlation of two atoms can be improved by adjusting the value of the Kerr medium. Finally, we also study the effect of phase dissipation on this system by making use of the Monte Carlo wavefunction method.

Enhancing Quantum Discord in Cavity QED by Applying Classical Driving Field

Yi Qian, Jing‐Bo Xu

We investigate the quantum discord dynamics in a cavity quantum electrodynamics system, which consists of two noninteracting two-level atoms driven by independent optical fields and classical fields, and find that the quantum discord vanishes only asymptotically although entanglement disappears suddenly during the time evolution in the absence of classical fields. It is shown that the amount of quantum discord can be increased by adjusting the classical driving fields because the increasing degree of the amount of quantum mutual information is greater than classical correlation by applying the classical driving fields. Finally, the influence of the classical driving field on the fidelity of the system is also examined.

Sudden transition between classical and quantum decoherence in dissipative cavity QED and stationary quantum discord

Qi-Liang He, Jing‐Bo Xu, Dao‐Xin Yao +1 more

We investigate the phenomenon of sudden transition between classical and quantum decoherence in the study of quantum discord for a dissipative cavity QED system, which consists of two noninteracting two-level atoms, each trapped in a dissipative cavity. It is found that the quantum discord between the two atoms, which are prepared initially in the X-type quantum states, is not destroyed by the dissipation of the cavities for a finite time interval, and the stationary quantum discord can arise in the interaction of atoms with cavities as the time approaches infinity. The transition time is sensitive to the initial state parameter of the two atoms and the mean photon number of the coherent field. Interestingly, the quantum discord between the two atoms is completely unaffected by the dissipation of the cavities if we choose the suitable value of the ratio, which depends on the decay rate of the two cavities and the atom-field coupling constant.

Quantum discord dynamics in the presence of initial system–cavity correlations

Ying-Jie Zhang, Xu‐Bo Zou, Yun‐Jie Xia +1 more

We analyze the roles of initial correlations between the two-qubit system and a dissipative cavity on quantum discord dynamics of two qubits. Considering two initial system-cavity states, we show that the initial system-cavity correlations not only can initially increase the two-qubit quantum discord but also would lead to a larger long-time quantum discord asymptotic value. Moreover, quantum discord due to initial correlations is more robust than the case of the initial factorized state. Finally, we show the initial correlations' importance for dynamics behaviors of mutual information and classical correlation.

Controlling quantum discord dynamics in cavity QED systems by applying a classical driving field with phase decoherence

Yi Qian, Jing‐Bo Xu

We investigate a two-level atom interacting with a quantized cavity field and a classical driving field in the presence of phase decoherence and find that a stationary quantum discord can arise in the interaction of the atom and cavity field as the time turns to infinity. We also find that the stationary quantum discord can be increased by applying a classical driving field. Furthermore, we explore the quantum discord dynamics of two identical non-interacting two-level atoms independently interacting with a quantized cavity field and a classical driving field in the presence of phase decoherence. Results show that the quantum discord between two atoms is more robust than entanglement under phase decoherence and the classical driving field can help to improve the amount of quantum discord of the two atoms.

Enhancement of quantum correlations for the system of cavity QED by applying bang-bang pulses

Hang-Shi Xu, Jing‐Bo Xu

We propose a scheme of increasing quantum correlations for the cavity quantum electrodynamics system consisting of two noninteracting two-level atoms each locally interacting with its own quantized field mode by bang-bang pulses. We investigate the influence of the bang-bang pulses on the dynamics of quantum discord, entanglement, quantum mutual information and classical correlation between the two atoms. It is shown that the amount of quantum discord and entanglement of the two atoms can be improved by applying the bang-bang pulses.

Effect of feedback control on the dynamics of quantum discord with and without the rotating-wave approximation

Jun-Qing Cheng, Wei Wu, Jing‐Bo Xu

We investigate the effect of quantum-jump-based feedback on the dynamics of quantum discord for two noninteracting two-level atoms coupled to a single mode of the cavity field with and without the rotating-wave approximation. It is found that the counterrotating terms can be helpful for generating steady states, and the value of steady-state quantum discord can be increased to approach 1 in the long-time limit by feedback controls. Furthermore, we also explore the influence of the time evolutions of mean excitation number in total systems and atomic subsystems on the quantum correlations and show that the enhancement of mean excitation number in atomic subsystems by feedback controls leads to the high value of steady-state quantum discord.
