Abstract

Based on the entropic uncertainty relation in the presence of quantum memory, the entanglement witness of two atoms in dissipative cavities is investigated by using the time-convolutionless master-equation approach. We discuss in detail the influences of the non-Markovian effect and the atom–cavity coupling on the lower bound of the entropic uncertainty relation and entanglement witness. The results show that, with the coupling increasing, the number of the time zone witnessed will increase so that the entanglement can be repeatedly witnessed. Enhancing the non-Markovian effect can add the number of the time zone witnessed and lengthen the time of entanglement witness. The results can be applied in quantum measurement, entanglement detecting, quantum cryptography task, and quantum information processing.

The quantum entropic uncertainty relation and entanglement witness in the two-atom system coupling with the non-Markovian environments

Hong-Mei Zou, Mao-Fa Fang, Bai-Yuan Yang +3 more

The quantum entropic uncertainty relation and entanglement witness in the two-atom system coupling with the non-Markovian environments are studied by the time-convolutionless master-equation approach. The influence of non-Markovian effect and detuning on the lower bound of the quantum entropic uncertainty relation and entanglement witness is discussed in detail. The results show that, only if the two non-Markovian reservoirs are identical, increasing detuning and non-Markovian effect can reduce the lower bound of the entropic uncertainty relation, lengthen the time region during which the entanglement can be witnessed, and effectively protect the entanglement region witnessed by the lower bound of the entropic uncertainty relation. The results can be applied in quantum measurement, quantum cryptography task and quantum information processing.

Controlling Entropic Uncertainty in the Presence of Quantum Memory by Non-Markovian Effects and Atom-Cavity Couplings

Hong‐Mei Zou, Mao-Fa Fang

Based on the time-convolutionless master-equation approach, the entropic uncertainty in the presence of quantum memory is investigated for a two-atom system in two dissipative cavities. We find that the entropic uncertainty can be controlled by the non-Markovian effect and the atom-cavity coupling. The results show that increasing the atom-cavity coupling can enlarge the oscillating frequencies of the entropic uncertainty and can decrease the minimal value of the entropic uncertainty. Enhancing the non-Markovian effect can reduce the minimal value of the entropic uncertainty. In particular, if the atom-cavity coupling or the non-Markovian effect is very strong, the entropic uncertainty will be very close to zero at certain time points, thus Bob can minimize his uncertainty about Alice's measurement outcomes.

Witnessing entanglement between two two-level atoms moving inside a leaky cavity under classical control

J. Taghipour, B. Mojaveri, Alireza Dehghani

Based on the quantum memory-assisted entropic uncertainty relation (QMA-EUR), we investigate the Markovian and non-Markovian dynamics of entanglement witness in a two-atom system that asymmetrically are coupled to a leaky cavity with two-photon relaxation. The atoms are two-level systems, they move inside the cavity and interact with a classical driving laser field. We discuss in detail the effects of the translational movement of the atoms, classical driving field and atom-cavity coupling on the protection of entanglement witness. Our results show that with a regular increase in the intensity of the classical driving field, the entanglement region witnessed by lower bound of QMA-EUR increases and the time of entanglement witness gets longer. In the Markovian regime, we find that quantum entanglement between the moving atoms can be witnessed for a longer time by increasing the velocity of the atoms. However, in the non-Markovian regime, higher speeds are required to witness entanglement over long time intervals. In addition, we conclude that the entanglement region witnessed by the lower bound of QMA-EUR can be protected in both the symmetrical and asymmetrical atom-cavity coupling regimes. In the asymmetrical regime, a better protection can be achieved when the memory atom is coupled to the cavity field stronger than the other atom.

Collapse–revival of squeezing of two atoms in dissipative cavities

Hong‐Mei Zou, Mao-Fa Fang

Based on the time-convolutionless master-equation approach, we investigate the squeezing dynamics of two atoms in dissipative cavities. We find that the atomic squeezing is related to initial atomic states, atom–cavity couplings, non-Markovian effects and resonant frequencies of an atom and its cavity. The results show that a collapse–revival phenomenon will occur in the atomic squeezing and this process is accompanied by the buildup and decay of entanglement between two atoms. Enhancing the atom–cavity coupling can increase the frequency of the collapse–revival of the atomic squeezing. The stronger the non-Markovian effect is, the more obvious the collapse–revival phenomenon is. In particular, if the atom–cavity coupling or the non-Markovian effect is very strong, the atomic squeezing will tend to a stably periodic oscillation in a long time. The oscillatory frequency of the atomic squeezing is dependent on the resonant frequency of the atom and its cavity.

Entanglement witness and entropy uncertainty of an open quantum system under the Zeno effect

Rongfang Liu, Hong‐Mei Zou, Jianhe Yang +1 more

In this paper, a two-level atom coupled with a double Lorentzian spectrum is solved by pseudomode theory, and an analytic representation of the density operator is obtained. Second, the paper investigates the entanglement witness and entropy uncertainty, and gets the analytical representation of entanglement, uncertainty, and their relationship. The environmental effects of the double Lorentzian spectrum are explained by non-Markovianity. In addition, this paper studies the influence of the Zeno effect on entanglement witness and uncertainty. The results show that the Zeno effect not only can effectively prolong the time of entanglement witness and reduce the lower bound of the entropy uncertainty but also can greatly enhance the time of entanglement witness and reduce the entanglement value of witness.

Entanglement, non-locality, and measurement uncertainty in two 2-level atoms in a global Markovian environment

Mourad Benzahra, Mostafa Mansour, Ameenah N. Al‐Ahmadi +1 more

Quantum systems are inherently open and fragile, leading to the loss of information and quantum properties to the environment. This study investigates the behavior of quantum entanglement (QE), quantum nonlocality (QN), and measurement uncertainty in a two-atom system interacting with a common dissipative thermal reservoir under the Markovian approximation. QE is measured using concurrence, QN through the CHSH-Bell inequality, and uncertainty through the quantum memory-assisted entropic uncertainty relation (QMA-EUR). The findings show that both QE and QN decay as the scaled time and excitation numbers increase, with QE being more resilient. In contrast, QMA-EUR shows an anticorrelation with concurrence and CHSH-Bell violation, increasing as these properties diminish. Adjusting the system initial-state parameters improves QE and CHSH degree of violation, while reducing uncertainty. Over long durations, concurrence and CHSH-Bell violations disappear, while QMA-EUR stabilizes at its maximum value. These results highlight the importance of precise parameter control to enhance quantum features and predict outcomes, especially for bipartite systems initialized in a Werner-like state.
