Quantum coherence in a coupled-cavity array

Abstract

The dynamical properties of quantum coherence in the system of two-coupled-cavities, each of which resonantly interacts with a two-level atom, is investigated via the relative entropy measure. We focus on the coherences for the atom–atom, atom–cavity and cavity–cavity subsystems and find that the dynamical behaviors of these coherences depend largely on the cavity–cavity coupling, which may indicate the Mott insulator-superfluid transition in the thermodynamic limit. We also study the influences of the initial cavity–cavity correlation on the coherences and show that the initial correlation of the cavity–cavity subsystem can enhance the revival ability for the atom–atom and cavity–cavity coherences while reduce that for the atom–cavity coherence. Besides, we demonstrate the qualitative difference of dynamics between coherence and entanglement. Finally, the influences of dissipations including cavity losses and atomic decays on the coherence are explored.

Quantum phase transition in an array of coupled dissipative cavities

Ke Liu, Lei Tan, Chun-Hai Lv +1 more

We study the features of superfluid and Mott-insulator states in a two-dimensional array of cavities with a two-level atom embedded in each cavity which is strongly coupled to the cavity field and immersed in a bosonic bath. Employing a different quasiboson approach, we show analytically how the dissipation and decoherence influence the quantum phase transitions from two aspects and find a localized tendency. For the superfluid state, a dynamical instability will lead to a sweeping to a localized state of photons. For the Mott-insulator state, a dissipation-induced fluctuation will suppress the restoring of long-range phase coherence driven by interaction.

Entanglement properties in the system of atoms interacting with three coupled cavities which are in weak coherent states

LU Dao-ming

We study the entanglement dynamics of the system comprising three two-level atoms resonantly interacting with three coupled cavities which are in weak coherent states initially. The atom-atom entanglement and cavity-cavity entanglement are investigated. The influences of coupling constant between cavities and intensity of the cavity field on entanglement properties are discussed. The results obtained using the numerical method show that atom-atom entanglement and cavity-cavity entanglement are both strengthened with the increase of intensity of the cavity field; on the other hand, atom-atom entanglement is weakened and the entanglement between cavity A and cavity B is strengthened with the increase of the coupling constant between cavities, and the entanglement between cavity B and cavity C has a nonlinear relation with the increase of the cavity-cavity coupling coefficient. These results are different from those in the case that cavity field is in vacuum state initially.

Dissipative dynamics of the Jaynes-Cummings model in the dispersive approximation: Analytical results

J. G. Peixoto de Faria, Maria Carolina Nemes

We present the time evolution of a two-level atom interacting dispersively with an electromagnetic field in a dissipative cavity. We investigate the influence of dissipation on the entanglement of the two subsystems $(\mathrm{atom}+\mathrm{field}).$ Simple but realistic, the model displays several nontrivial quantum features, which emerge when an environment is taken into account: the cavity is shown to have practically no influence in the coherence properties of the field from the qualitative point of view. On the other hand, although the atom is not directly coupled to the cavity modes, its coherent properties are strongly influenced by dissipation both qualitatively as well as quantitatively.

Superfluid–Mott insulator quantum phase transition in hybrid cavity optomechanical arrays

Jin-Lou Ma, Lei Tan, Qing Li +2 more

Abstract A two-dimensional hybrid cavity optomechanical array formed by an optomechanical cavity embedded with a two-level atom in each site is introduced to discuss the superfluid–Mott insulator quantum phase transition of light. On account of the optomechanical coupling effects stemmed from the coupled movable oscillator, the energy spectrum of the system changes, and an effective on-site repulsive interaction is reformed by modulating the optomechanically controlled parameters. By adjusting the detuning, an intersection between different critical chemical potentials can be found together with a disappearance of certain Mott lobes physically. The pronounced optomechanical coupling strength is in favor of the Mott insulator phase due to the enhanced effective on-site interactions. Additionally, the Kerr-nonlinearity reduces the average excitation of the high Mott insulator state and diminishes the superfluid regime. The results obtained here provide a novel image for characterizing the quantum phase transitions in optomechanical array systems, which will offer valuable insight for quantum simulations.

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 properties in the system of atoms interacting with coupled cavities

LU Dao-ming

We study the entanglement dynamics of the system composed of two two-level atoms resonantly interacting with two coupled cavities. The evolutions of atom-atom entanglement, cavity-cavity entanglement and atom-cavity entanglement are investigated. The influence of coupling constant between cavities on entanglement property is discussed. The numerical results show that atom-atom entanglement property is strengthened while atom-cavity entanglement property and cavity-cavity entanglement property are weakened with the increasing of the coupling constant between cavities.
