Stochastic Resonance phenomena in qubit arrays

Abstract

We discuss stochastic resonance–like effects in the context of coupled quantum spin systems. We focus here on an information–theoretic approach and analyze the steady state quantum correlations (entanglement) as well as the global correlations in the system when subject to different forms of local decoherence. In the presence of decay, it has been shown that the system displays quantum correlations only when the noise strength is above a certain threshold. We extend this result to the case of a Heisenberg XY Z exchange interaction and revise and clarify the mechanisms underlying this behaviour. In the presence of pure dephasing, we show that the system always remains separable in the steady state. When both types of noise are present, we show that the system can still exhibit entanglement for long times, provided that the pure dephasing rate is not too large.

When cooler is not better: Stochastic Resonance Phenomena in Quantum Many-Body Systems

Susana F. Huelga, Martin Bodo Plenio

We discuss stochastic resonance (SR) effects in weakly driven coupled quantum systems. We show that both dynamical and information theoretic measures of the system's response can be introduced that exhibit a non-monotonic behaviour as a function of the noise strength. We analyze the relation between lack of monotonicity in the response and the presence of quantum correlations, showing that there are parameter regimes where the breakdown of a linear response can be associated to the presence of entanglement. We also show that a chain of coupled spin systems can exhibit an array-enhanced response, where the sensitivity of a single resonator to a weak driving signal is enhanced as a result of the nearest-neighbour coupling. These results enlarge the domain where SR effects exist and should be observable in state-of-the-art arrays of superconducting qubits.

FLUCTUATIONS ASSISTED STATIONARY ENTANGLEMENT IN DRIVEN QUANTUM SYSTEMS

Dimitris G. Angelakis, STEFANO MANCINI

We analyze quantum correlations arising in two coupled dimer systems in the presence of independent losses and driven by a fluctuating field. For the case of the interaction being of a Heisenberg exchange type, we first analytically show the possibility for stationary entanglement and then analyze its robustness as a function of the signal-to-noise ratio of the pump. We find that for a common fluctuating driving field, stochastic resonance effects appear as function of the ratio between field strength and noise strength. The effect disappears in the case of uncorrelated or separate pumps. Our result is general and could be applied to different quantum systems ranging from electron spins in solid state, to ions trap technologies and cold atom set ups.

Disentanglement and decoherence in two-spin and three-spin systems under dephasing

Kevin Ann, Gregg S. Jaeger

We compare disentanglement and decoherence rates within two-spin and three-spin entangled systems subjected to all possible combinations of local and collective pure dephasing noise combinations. In all cases, the bipartite entanglement decay rate is found to be greater than or equal to the dephasing-decoherence rates and often significantly greater. This sharpens previous results for two-spin systems [T. Yu and J. H. Ebenly Phys. Rev. B 68, 165322 (2003)] and extends them to the three-spin context.

Local quantum uncertainty in a two-qubit system due to classical environmental noise

Qinglong Tian, You-neng Guo

Abstract In this paper, we address the dynamics of nonclassical correlation, quantified by local quantum uncertainty (LQU) in a two-qubit system subjected to classical environmental noise when the initial states of system are prepared in a specific class of Bell states. Two different configurations of the local noisy environment are examined. In the first case, we consider a system of two independently qubits, each locally interacting with its classical random noise, whereas in the second case we consider only one of qubits subject to a classical random noise. Our results show that the dynamics of LQU is strongly related to both the dephasing and relaxation factors. The behaviors of LQU in above two cases exhibit similar variation, with monotonic decay in the weak coupling region, while revivals in the strong coupling region depending on the ratio of the switching rate and coupling strength to the qubit. By controlling this ratio, long-time survival of LQU is obtained. Therefore, our results may open an interesting perspective in using of the long-time survival of quantum correlations for practical applications in quantum information science.

Spatially correlated classical and quantum noise in driven qubits: The good, the bad, and the ugly

Zou, Ji, Stefano Bosco, Daniel Loss

Correlated noise across multiple qubits poses a significant challenge for achieving scalable and fault-tolerant quantum processors. Despite recent experimental efforts to quantify this noise in various qubit architectures, a comprehensive understanding of its role in qubit dynamics remains elusive. Here, we present an analytical study of the dynamics of driven qubits under spatially correlated noise, including both Markovian and non-Markovian noise. Surprisingly, we find that, while correlated classical noise only leads to correlated decoherence without increasing the quantum coherence in the system, the correlated quantum noise can be exploited to generate entanglement. In particular, we reveal that, in the quantum limit, pure dephasing noise induces a coherent long-range two-qubit Ising interaction that correlates distant qubits. In contrast, for purely transverse noise when qubits are subjected to coherent drives, the correlated quantum noise induces both coherent symmetric exchange and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction between the qubits, as well as correlated relaxation, both of which give rise to significant entanglement. Remarkably, in this case, we uncover that the system exhibits distinct dynamical phases in different parameter regimes. Finally, we reveal the impact of spatio-temporally correlated 1/f noise on the decoherence rate, and how its temporal correlations restore lost entanglement. Our analysis not only offers critical insights into designing effective error mitigation strategies to reduce harmful effects of correlated noise, but also enables tailored protocols to leverage and harness noise-induced correlations for quantum information processing.
