Quantum speed limit with non-Markovian noise

Shiqun Zhu, Zhenyu Xu

Published Jan 1, 2014• 2 citations
Publisher

Abstract

Though non-Markovian effect is proven to be able to accelerate quantum evolution for a damped Jaynes-Cummings model, it can be shown that the non-Markovianity may even slow down the quantum evolution with an experimentally controllable photon system under non-Markovian dephasing noise.

Quantum Speed Limit of a Photon under Non-Markovian Dynamics

Zhenyu Xu, Shiqun Zhu

Quantum speed limit (QSL) time under noise has drawn considerable attention in real quantum computational processes. Though non-Markovian noise is found to be able to accelerate quantum evolution for a damped Jaynes—Cummings model, in this work we show that non-Markovianity will slow down the quantum evolution of an experimentally controllable photon system. As an application, QSL time of a photon can be controlled by regulating the relevant environment parameter properly, which nearly reaches the currently available photonic experimental technology.

Quantum Speed Limit for Non-Markovian Dynamics

Sebastian Deffner, Eric Lutz

We derive a Margolus-Levitin-type bound on the minimal evolution time of an arbitrarily driven open quantum system. We express this quantum speed limit time in terms of the operator norm of the nonunitary generator of the dynamics. We apply these results to the damped Jaynes-Cummings model and demonstrate that the corresponding bound is tight. We further show that non-Markovian effects can speed up quantum evolution and therefore lead to a smaller quantum speed limit time.

Effect of correlated noise channels on quantum speed limit

Natasha Awasthi, Umesh C. Johri

We study the effect of correlated Markovian noise channels on the quantum speed limit of an open system. This is done for correlated dephasing and amplitude damping channels for a two qubit atomic model. Our model serves as a platform for a detailed study of speed of quantum evolution in correlated open systems.

Quantum speed limit for a mixed initial state

Shao-xiong Wu, Chang‐shui Yu

A unified bound on the quantum speed limit is obtained for open quantum systems with a mixed initial state by utilizing the function of relative purity proposed by F. Campaioli et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 060409 (2018)]. As applications, it is found that the quantum speed limit bound for the damped Jaynes-Cummings model is determined by the competition among the non-Markovianity, the population of the initial excited state, and the initial-state coherence, which shows that the population of the initial excited state and the coherence of the initial state can make the quantum speed limit bound tighter even though the non-Markovian effects can accelerate the evolution of open quantum system. For the dephasing model, a simple factorization law with the initial-state coherence shows that the quantum speed limit is governed by only the competition between the non-Markovianity and the coherence of the initial state.

Tightening of quantum speed limit bound and tracing back information under non-Markovian dynamics

Natasha Awasthi, Dheeraj Kumar Joshi

Abstract Quantum theory sets a fundamental bound for the minimal time evolution between initial and final state of a system . This bound is called quantum speed limit time , which is used to quantify the speed of evolution of a quantum system. If quantum speed limit time decreases, the evolution keeps on increasing. In this paper, we study the effect of quantum speed limit time in terms of correlated and uncorrelated noise channels like amplitude damping and phase damping channel. We use maximally entangled mixed state as our initial state. We observe the behavior of quantum speed limit time under Markovian and non-Markovian dynamics. We prove that for the special class of our inital state and for the dynamical evolution of a system, there exist a link between quantum speed limit time and non-Markovianity. However, an interesting results were also observed regarding the tightness of bound in Markovian region. Our results shed light on the information back-flow between system and environment in terms of quantum evolution which is useful as a resource in quantum information processing task.

Quantum speed limit for arbitrary initial states

Yingjie Zhang, Wei Han, Yun‐Jie Xia +2 more

The minimal time a system needs to evolve from an initial state to its one orthogonal state is defined as the quantum speed limit time, which can be used to characterize the maximal speed of evolution of a quantum system. This is a fundamental question of quantum physics. We investigate the generic bound on the minimal evolution time of the open dynamical quantum system. This quantum speed limit time is applicable to both mixed and pure initial states. We then apply this result to the damped Jaynes-Cummings model and the Ohimc-like dephasing model starting from a general time-evolution state. The bound of this time-dependent state at any point in time can be found. For the damped Jaynes-Cummings model, when the system starts from the excited state, the corresponding bound first decreases and then increases in the Markovian dynamics. While in the non-Markovian regime, the speed limit time shows an interesting periodic oscillatory behavior. For the case of Ohimc-like dephasing model, this bound would be gradually trapped to a fixed value. In addition, the roles of the relativistic effects on the speed limit time for the observer in non-inertial frames are discussed.
