Dynamics of qubit entanglement in three-qubit Jaynes–Cummings model for biseparable intial states

Alexander R. Bagrov, Evgeny K. Bashkirov

Background. To operate a quantum computer, a set of universal gates must be implemented, such as a two-cubit gate of the controlled negation type plus one-cubit spins. As a universal alternative, three-cubic-bit gates may be used. In this regard, it seems very relevant to investigate the dynamics of three-qubit systems in microwave resonators, in particular to study the most efficient schemes for generating, controlling, and monitoring entangled qubit states. Aim. To investigate the features of the dynamics of entangled pairs of qubits for a system in which two qubits are locked in a single-mode resonator and interact with the thermal field mode, and the third qubit is in a free state. Methods. To analyze the dynamics of the considered system, the solution of the quantum Liouville equation for the full density matrix is investigated. The exact solution of the above equation in the case of initial biseparable states of the qubits is found. The exact solution of the evolution equation is used to calculate the criterion of entanglement of qubit pairs – negativity. Numerical simulations of negativity for biseparable qubit states as well as different values of the thermal field intensity of the resonator have been carried out. Results. It is shown that for intense thermal fields of the resonator the effect of instantaneous death of entanglement is observed, while the time intervals between death and revival of entanglement of qubits depend essentially on the choice of their initial biseparable state. It is found that for one of the biseparable states, entanglement of qubits trapped in the resonator does not occur at any field intensities of the resonator. Conclusion. It is found that the peculiarities of the dynamics of entanglement of qubits, in particular the time intervals between the death and birth of entangled qubits, are determined by the choice of the initial biseparable state of qubits, as well as by the values of the field intensity of the resonator. The results obtained can be used to effectively control and manage the degree of qubit entanglement in three-qubit systems in microwave resonators.Background.

Tunable thermal entanglement in an effective spin-star system using coupled microcavities

Wanli Yang, Wei Hua, Feng Mang +1 more

We theoretically explore the possibility of realizing controllable thermal entanglement of effective spins in a four-qubit anisotropic Heisenberg XXZ coupling spin-star system constructed by coupled microcavities. We analyse the dependence of thermal entanglement in this system on temperature, inhomogeneity of the magnetic field, and anisotropy, which can be readily tuned via the external laser fields. The peculiar characteristic and the full controllability of the thermal entanglement are demonstrated to be useful for quantum information processing.We theoretically explore the possibility of realizing controllable thermal entanglement of effective spins in a four-qubit anisotropic Heisenberg XXZ coupling spin-star system constructed by coupled microcavities.

The thermal entanglement in the Heisenberg

\mathrm{XYZ}

chain is investigated in the presence of an external magnetic field B. In the two-qubit system, the critical magnetic field

{B}_{c}

is increased by introducing the interaction of the z component of two neighboring spins

{J}_{z}.

This interaction not only improves the critical temperature

{T}_{c},

but also enhances the entanglement for a particular fixed B. We also analyze the pairwise entanglement between nearest neighbors in three qubits. The pairwise entanglement, for a fixed T, can become strong by controlling B and

{J}_{z}.
