Dynamics of excitonic entanglement in a system of two quantum dots coupled to cavity field

Abstract
The dynamical behaviors of the entanglement for the excitons in a system of two coupled quantum dots and a single-mode cavity field are investigated for two different initial conditions by means of the concurrence.It is shown that the direct coupling between the dots can reduce the degree of the entanglement for the excitons.For the initial cavity field being in the odd-coherent state,the degree of their entanglement decreases with the increase of the coherent intensity of cavity field.There is a trade-off for excitonic entanglement when cavity field is initially prepared in the even-coherent state.The relation between the average photon numbers of cavity field and quasi-maximally entangled excitonic coherent states is studied.
