Abstract

A strong and stable correlation in quantum information is of high quality for quantum information processing.We define two quantities,selective average correlation and ripple coefficient,to evaluate the quality of correlation in quantum information in a time interval.As a new communication channel,Heisenberg spin chains are widely investigated.We select a two-qubit Heisenberg XXZs pin chain with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in an inhomogeneous magnetic field as an example,and use the two quantities to evaluate the qualities of the correlation in quantum information with different measures.The result shows that,if the time evolutions are similar,there needs only evaluating one of them to know when the correlation has high quality for quantum information processing.

Correlation and coherence for two-qubit system coupled to XY spin chains

Yang Yang, Wang An-Min, Cao Lian-Zhen +2 more

Quantum coherence has played a decisive role in quantum information processing. On the other hand, quantum correlation can be considered as a powerful resource for delivering quantum information. Both quantum coherence and quantum correlation may occur in an information propagating process, which challenges us to understand the relationship between coherence and correlation. This is also an important procedure for physicists to know the features of quantum resources. Any quantum system interacting with its surrounding environment will destroy the quantum coherence and fail to fulfil any task of delivering quantum information. In this sense, studying the dynamics of quantum correlation and quantum coherence is very fascinating. In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of the quantum correlation and quantum coherence for two central qubits coupled to their own spin baths modeled by the XY spin chain with Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction. We employ the quantum discord to characterize the quantum correlation, and use the relative entropy to measure quantum coherence. In this way the evolution law of the quantum discord and the relative entropy of quantum coherence of two-qubit system are derived, and the evolution law depends not only on the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction, the anisotropy parameter and the total number of spin chain sites, but also on the coupling strength between the central spin and its spin chain. Our findings are as follows. Firstly, we find that near the critical point of spin chain the quantum coherence abruptly changes, which can be used to detect the existence of quantum phase transition. Secondly, at the critical point, the relative entropy of quantum coherence is the same as that of classical correlation when time tt0, and it is the same as that of quantum discord when time tt0. At time t0, the sudden transition from quantum discord to classical correlation occurs. All in all, the relative entropy of quantum coherence reflects the behaviors of classical correlation and quantum discord for times tt0 and tt0, respectively, which is caused by the change of the optimal basis for quantum discord. Thirdly, the dynamics of quantum correlation and quantum coherence keep invariant under the scaling variation of the total number of spin chain sites and the coupling strength. Moreover, we find that all the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interactions and the anisotropy parameters, as well as the coupling strengths will enhance the decay of quantum coherence and quantum correlation, while they have no obvious effect on the relationship between dynamics of coherence and correlation. The above discussion reveals some new features of quantum coherence and quantum correlation, which may be useful in further developing quantum information theory.

Spin chain model for correlated quantum channels

Davide Rossini, Vittorio Giovannetti, Simone Montangero

We analyze the quality of the quantum information transmission along a correlated quantum channel by studying the average fidelity between input and output states and the average output purity, giving bounds for the entropy of the channel. Noise correlations in the channel are modeled by the coupling of each channel use with an element of a one-dimensional interacting quantum spin chain. Criticality of the environment chain is seen to emerge in the changes of the fidelity and of the purity.

Thermal quantum correlations of spin chain with multiple interactions

Sodeif Ahadpour, Фороузан Мирмасоуди

In order to explore the impact of distance between spins on quantum correlation, we compute trace ditance discord (TDD) and spin squeezing in an anisotropic Heisenberg XYZ model with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in the presence of the external magnetic field. It is valuable to investigate that how we can protect quantum correlations in system when the distance between the spins is promoted. We find that rich Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and low temperature can be effective for quantum correlations with increasing distance between spins. As, at sufficeintly low temperature In addition, the generated correlated channels are inspected to interchange the information between the system qubits applying the standard dense coding protocol; then, the dense coding capacity of the transmitted information is quantified. It is found that the strength Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and magnetic field have a great impact on the dynamics of the quantum correlations and, consequently, the quality of the generated channels to exchange the information. Therefore, the effect of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction for various strengths of temperature needs to be considered to have valid dense coding when distance of spin increases.

Correlation function and mutual information

R X Dong, Dong Zhou

Correlation function and mutual information are two powerful tools to characterize the correlations in a quantum state of a composite system, widely used in many-body physics and in quantum information science, respectively. We find that these two tools may give different conclusions about the order of the degrees of correlation in two specific two-qubit states. This result implies that the orderings of bipartite quantum states according to the degrees of correlation depend on which correlation measure we adopt.

Effects of inhomogeneous magnetic fields and different Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction on entanglement and teleportation in a two-qubit Heisenberg XYZ chain

Meng Qin, Xiao Wang, Yanbiao Li +2 more

In this paper we calculate the thermal entanglement and teleportation in a two-qubit Heisenberg XYZ chain with the different Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and inhomogeneous magnetic fields. The analytical expressions of the concurrence and the average fidelity are obtained for this model. We have shown that the quantum phase transition occurs in the system and the quantum phase transition point depends on the inhomogeneity of magnetic fields. We compare the x-component Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction with the z-component Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction on the effects of quantum teleportation. It is found that we can take Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction as one of the effective control parameters for the teleportation manipulation.

Quantum information and correlation bounds

Michael J. W. Hall

This paper is primarily concerned with the development and application of quantum bounds on mutual information, although some of the methods developed can be applied to any figure of merit indicating degree of correlation, such as coincidence rate. Three basic techniques for obtaining bounds are described: mappings between joint-measurement and communication correlation contexts; a duality relation for quantum ensembles and quantum measurements; and an information exclusion principle [M. J. W. Hall, Phys. Rev. Lett. 74, 3307 (1995)]. Results include a proof of Holevo's communication bound from a joint-measurement inequality; a measurement-dependent dual to Holevo's bound; lower bounds for mutual information under ensemble and measurement constraints; information exclusion relations for measurements described by probability-operator measures; a proof that Glauber coherent states are optimal signal states for quantum communication based on (noisy) optical heterodyne detection; and an information inequality for quantum eavesdropping. Relations between the three techniques are used to further obtain upper bounds for quantum information, and to extend the information exclusion principle to a joint-measurement context.
