Quantum correlation dynamics of three non-coupled two-level atoms in different reservoirs

Abstract

Time evolution dynamics of three non-coupled two-level atoms independently interacting with their reservoirs is solved exactly by considering a damping Lorentzian spectral density. For three atoms initially prepared in Greenberger—Horne—Zeilinger-type state, quantum correlation dynamics in a Markovian reservoir is compared with that in a non-Markovian reservoir. By increasing detuning quantity in the non-Markovian reservoir, three-atom correlation dynamics measured by negative eigenvalue presents a trapping phenomenon which provides long-time quantum entanglement. Then we compare the correlation dynamics of three atoms with that of two atoms, measured by quantum entanglement and quantum discord for an initial robuster-entangled type state. The result further confirms that quantum discord is indeed different from quantum entanglement in identifying quantum correlation of many bodies.

Non-Markovian dynamics of two non-coupled qubits interacting with two separate reservoirs with different spectral densities

Xiao-Yun Wang, Bang-Fu Ding, Heping Zhao

The dynamics of two non-coupled qubits independently interacting with their reservoirs is solved by the time convolutionless projection operator method. We study two-qubit quantum correlation dynamics for two different types of spectral densities, which are a Lorentzian distribution and an Ohmic spectral density with a Lorentzian—Drude cutoff function. For two qubits initially prepared in the initial Bell state, quantum discord can keep longer time and reach larger values in non-Markovian reservoirs for the first spectral distribution or by reducing the cutoff frequency for the second case. For the initial Bell-like state, the dynamic behaviors of quantum discord and entanglement are compared. The results show that a long time of quantum correlation can be obtained by adjusting some parameters in experiment and further confirm that the discord can capture quantum correlation in addition to entanglement.

Quantum Discord Dynamics in Two Different Non-Markovian Reservoirs

Bang-Fu Ding, Xiao-Yun Wang, Jing-Feng Liu +2 more

The quantum discord dynamics of two non-coupled two-level atoms independently interacting with their reservoir is studied under two kinds of non-Markovian conditions, namely, an off-resonant case with atomic transition frequency and a photonic band gap. In the first case, the phenomenon of the quantum discord loss and the oscillatory behavior of the quantum discord can occur by changing the detuning quantity and reducing the spectral coupling width for any initial Bell state. Under the second condition, the trapping phenomenon of the quantum discord can be presented by adjusting the width of gap, that is, the quantum discord of two atoms keep a nonzero constant for a long time.

Quantum correlation dynamics of two qubits in independent reservoirs with initial system-reservoir correlations

Xin-Ping Ma, Yue Sun, Jin‐Liang Guo

Abstract The dynamics of entanglement and quantum discord (QD) between two two-level atoms interacting with two dissipative coupled cavities in the presence of initial atom-cavity correlations is investigated. In comparison with the result of the initial factorized state, we show that the initial state contained quantum correlation of atom-cavity is most robust against the dissipative environment, and the initial atom-cavity correlations, especially the quantum correlation, play a constructive role in the generation of atomic entanglement and QD. Simultaneously, the comparison between Markovian and non-Markovian dynamics, and the influences of inter-cavity hopping rate are also taken into account and analyzed.

Entanglement Dynamics of Three Qubits in the Non-Markovian Environments

Shan Chuan-Jia, Ji-Bing Liu, Tao Chen +3 more

We consider the entanglement dynamics of three two-level atoms interacting with independent structured non-Markovian reservoirs. The atoms are initially prepared in a mixed multipartite Greenberger—Horne—Zeilinger (GHZ)-type state. Based on the purity and non-Markovian reservoirs, we show that the reservoirs' entanglement can exhibit not only multipartite entanglement sudden birth but also entanglement sudden death, and the revival of atom entanglement is not always accompanied by the disentanglement of reservoirs. Meanwhile, we derive the quantitative criteria for multipartite revival and death phenomena and find multipartite entanglement sudden death and entanglement sudden birth simultaneous apparition time is independent of the initial three-qubit state.

The decoherence dynamics of multipartite entanglement in a non-Markovian environment

Zhi He, Jian Zou, Bin Shao +1 more

We consider four two-level atoms interacting with independent non-Markovian reservoirs with detuning. We mainly investigate the effects of the detuning and the length of the reservoir correlation time on the decoherence dynamics of multipartite entanglement. We find that the time evolution of the entanglement of atomic and reservoir subsystems is determined by a parameter which is a function of the detuning and the reservoir correlation time. We also find that the decay and revival of the entanglement of the atomic and reservoir subsystems are closely related to the sign of the decay rate. We also show that the cluster state is the most robust to decoherence compared with Dicke, GHZ and W states for this decoherence channel.

Quantum Discord Dynamics of Three Qubits in Non-Markovian Environments

Yan Zhang, Jin‐Ming Liu, Yan-Jie Li

We investigate the dynamics of pairwise quantum discord (QD) for a mixed three-qubit W-type state in three independent non-Markovian reservoirs at zero temperature, each of which is modeled by a leaky cavity with Lorentzian spectral density. The influence of the environment's amount of non-Markovianity, the detuning between the qubit frequency and the cavity centre frequency, and the purity of the initial state on the QD dynamics are analyzed in detail. It is found that in the non-Markovian regime the system-reservoir interactions induce QD revivals and oscillations no matter whether the detuning is zero or not. Moreover, QD can be preserved for a long time if the non-Markovian condition and the detuning condition are satisfied simultaneously.
