Quantum discord dynamics of two atoms under different quantum feedbacks

Hui Wang, Zairong Xi

Published Jul 1, 2012• 0 citations

Abstract

The dynamics of two identical atoms is studied, which is resonantly coupled to a single-mode cavity under two different quantum feedback controls, i.e., the symmetric feedback control and the nonsymmetric feedback control. Correspondingly, the quantum discord of the system is induced to reach steady values under these two kinds of feedback controls. Furthermore, in some cases, the steady value of quantum discord of the system under symmetric feedback control is much larger than the steady value under nonsymmetric feedback control. The situation is just the opposite when the initial state is |eg〉. It is also found that the feedback is not good for getting a high discord when the initial state is in the form of Werner-like state (d = 0).

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.

Entanglement and quantum discord dynamics of two atoms under practical feedback control

Yang Li, Bin Luo, Hong Mei Guo

We study the dynamics of two identical atoms resonantly coupled to a single-mode cavity under practical feedback control, and focus on the detection inefficiency. The entanglement is induced to vanish in finite time by the inefficiency of detection. Counterintuitively, the asymptotic entanglement and quantum discord can be increased by the inefficiency of detection. The noise of detection triggers the control field to create entanglement and discord when no photons are emitted from the atoms. Furthermore, sudden change happens to the dynamics of entanglement.

Steady atomic entanglement with different quantum feedbacks

Jungang Li, Jian Zou, Bin Shao +1 more

We consider a model of two driven and collectively damped atoms with different quantum feedbacks. We find that the steady entanglement depends on the initial condition in the case of symmetric feedback but is independent of the initial condition in the case of nonsymmetric feedback. We also find that in the process of the transition from the symmetric feedback to the nonsymmetric feedback, the entanglement between the two atoms is discontinuous. Without the feedback (symmetric case), in the symmetric subspace the steady entanglement between the two atoms will be very small; then we apply a feedback just to one of the atoms (nonsymmetric case), the steady entanglement will increase greatly, which can reach $C\ensuremath{\approx}0.82$. It is very interesting that if we withdraw the feedback, the strong steady entanglement will remain, i.e., the whole process is irreversible, and reminds us of the hysteresis phenomena.

Quantum discord of two-qutrit system under quantum-jump-based feedback control*

Chang Wang, Mao-Fa Fang

This paper studies quantum discord of two qutrits coupled to their own environments independently and coupled to the same environment simultaneously under quantum-jump-based feedback control. Our results show that spontaneous emission, quantum feedback parameters, classical driving, initial state, and detection efficiency all affect the evolution of quantum discord in a two-qutrit system. We find that under the condition of designing proper quantum-jump-based feedback parameters, quantum discord can be protected and prepared. In the case where two qutrits are independently coupled to their own environments, classical driving, spontaneous emission, and low detection efficiency have negative effect on the protection of quantum discord. For different initial states, it is found that the evolution of quantum discord under the control of appropriate parameters is similar. In the case where two qutrits are simultaneously coupled to the same environment, the classical driving plays a positive role in the generation of quantum discord, but spontaneous emission and low detection efficiency have negative impact on the generation of quantum discord. Most importantly, we find that the steady discord depends on feedback parameters, classical driving, and detection efficiency, but not on the initial state.

Quantum discord dynamics of two qubits in single-mode cavities

Chen Wang, Qing‐Hu Chen

The dynamics of quantum discord for two identical qubits in two independent single-mode cavities and a common single-mode cavity are discussed. For the initial Bell state with correlated spins, while the entanglement sudden death can occur, the quantum discord vanishes only at discrete moments in the independent cavities and never vanishes in the common cavity. Interestingly, quantum discord and entanglement show opposite behavior in the common cavity, unlike in the independent cavities. For the initial Bell state with anti-correlated spins, quantum discord and entanglement behave in the same way for both independent cavities and a common cavity. It is found that the detunings always stabilize the quantum discord.

Noise-induced quantum correlations via quantum feedback control

Jie Song, Yan Xia, Xiudong Sun

We study a physical system for creation of quantum correlations by quantum feedback control. The system is composed of two three-level atoms, each of which interacts with one of two coupled cavities. By appropriately choosing the feedback strength, we show that an arbitrary initial state can be deterministically driven to a steady-state that has a nonzero quantum discord or entanglement. It is also found that the effect of atomic spontaneous emission on quantum correlations is suppressed efficiently by increasing the frequency detuning.
