In this paper we introduced Lie-algebraic approach to entanglement of stretch vibrations in symmetrical triatomic molecules and derived the linear entropy and the Von Neumann entropy.Then we discussed the dynamical properties of entanglement for initial states using the method.
In the present study, the dynamical behaviors of tripartite entanglement of vibrations in triatomic molecules are studied based on the Lie algebraic models of molecules. The dynamical behaviors of tripartite entanglement of the local mode molecule H2O and normal mode molecule NO2 are comparatively studied for different initial states by employing the general concurrence. Our results show that the dynamics of tripartite entanglement are relied on the dynamics of intramolecular energy distribution. The local mode molecule is more suitable to construct the tripartite entangled states. Also, the greater degree of tripartite entanglement can be obtained if the stretching vibration is first excited. These results shed new light on the understanding of quantum multipartite entanglement of vibrations in the polyatomic molecules.
The dynamical entanglement of two stretching vibrations of triatomic molecules H2O and SO2 in an algebraic model is studied in terms of the reduced-density linear entropy with initial states that are, respectively, taken to be the product of Fock states and coherent states on each bond. It is shown that the entanglement of initial states with local-mode character is regular while that of states with normal-mode character is irregular. For initial coherent states with a small amplitude, the regularity of the entanglement with a long period appears in SO2 and ``classical'' beat phenomena of the entanglement happens in H2O, where the period of the beat is longer. Those long periods of the entanglement indicate that the entanglement sustains long enough so that quantum information process and quantum computation could be accomplished.
