Damped driven coupled oscillators: entanglement, decoherence and the classical limit

R D Guerrero Mancilla, R R Rey-González, K. M. Fonseca-Romero

We investigate the quantum-classical border, the entanglement and decoherence of an analytically solvable model, comprising a first subsystem (a harmonic oscillator) coupled to a driven and damped second subsystem (another harmonic oscillator). We choose initial states whose dynamics is confined to a couple of two-level systems, and show that the maximum value of entanglement between the two subsystems, as measured by concurrence, depends on the dissipation rate to the coupling-constant ratio and the initial state. While in a related model the entropy of the first subsystem (a two-level system) never grows appreciably (for large dissipation rates), in our model it reaches a maximum before decreasing. Although both models predict small values of entanglement and dissipation, for fixed times of the order of the inverse of the coupling constant and large dissipation rates, these quantities decrease faster, as a function of the ratio of the dissipation rate to the coupling constant, in our model.

Regularizing divergences in the von Neumann entropy

J. C. Retamal, Lautaro Vergara

We study the decoherence process of a harmonic oscillator in a dissipative environment by considering the von Neumann entropy. Derivatives of the von Neumann entropy around the initial time exhibit divergences when the system is initially in a pure state. A regularization procedure based on the zeta function technique is considered in order to extract information about decoherence.

Dynamics of decoherence without dissipation in a squeezed thermal bath

Subhashish Banerjee, Rupamanjari Ghosh

We study a generic open quantum system where the coupling between the system and its environment is of an energy-preserving quantum nondemolition (QND) type. We obtain the general master equation for the evolution of such a system under the influence of a squeezed thermal bath of harmonic oscillators. From the master equation it can be seen explicitly that the process involves decoherence or dephasing without any dissipation of energy. We work out the decoherence-causing term in the high- and zero-temperature limits and check that they match with known results for the case of a thermal bath. The decay of the coherence is quantified as well by the dynamics of the linear entropy of the system under various environmental conditions. We make a comparison of the quantum statistical properties between QND and dissipative types of evolution using a two-level atomic system and a harmonic oscillator.
