Local quantum uncertainty for a class of two-qubit X states and quantum correlations dynamics under decoherence

Abstract

A special emphasis is devoted to the concept of local quantum uncertainty as an indicator of quantum correlations. We study quantum discord for a class of two-qubit states parametrized by two parameters. Quantum discord based on local quantum uncertainty, von Neumann entropy and trace distance (Schatten 1-norm) are explicitly derived and compared. The behavior of quantum correlations, quantified via local quantum uncertainty, under decoherence effects is investigated. We show that the discordlike local quantum uncertainty exhibits the possibility of freezing behavior during its evolution.

Local quantum uncertainty and trace distance discord dynamics for two-qubit X states embedded in non-Markovian environment

Youssef Khedif, Mohammed Daoud A

We investigate the behavior of quantum correlations in some specific Werner-like two-qubit states, where the qubit interacts individually with non-Markovian environment. We employ the local quantum uncertainty and trace distance discord to quantify the amount of quantum correlations between the evolved qubits and the corresponding analytical expressions are derived. For specific values of the parameters characterizing the whole system, the dynamics of quantum correlations exhibits collapse and revival phenomena. The influence of the non-Markovianity is also investigated to analyze the monotonic decay of quantum correlations in the limiting case of Markovian regime. Furthermore, we show that trace distance discord captures quantum correlations that cannot be revealed by local quantum uncertainty in some particular situations.

One-norm geometric quantum discord under decoherence

J. D. Montealegre, F. M. de Paula, A. Saguia +1 more

Geometric quantum discord is a well-defined measure of quantum correlation if Schatten one-norm (trace norm) is adopted as a distance measure. Here, we analytically investigate the dynamical behavior of the one-norm geometric quantum discord under the effect of decoherence. By starting from arbitrary Bell-diagonal mixed states under Markovian local noise, we provide the decays of the quantum correlation as a function of the decoherence parameters. In particular, we show that the one-norm geometric discord exhibits the possibility of double sudden changes and freezing behavior during its evolution. For nontrivial Bell-diagonal states under simple Markovian channels, these are new features that are in contrast with the Schatten two-norm (Hilbert-Schmidt) geometric discord. The necessary and sufficient conditions for double sudden changes as well as their exact locations in terms of decoherence probabilities are provided. Moreover, we illustrate our results by investigating decoherence in quantum spin chains in the thermodynamic limit.

Dynamics of quantum correlations in a two-parameter class system under quantum noise

Eied Mahmoud Khalil, S. Al‐Awfi

In this paper, we investigate the time evolution of quantum correlations in a two-qubit system influenced by an optical channel. The system?s dynamics are analyzed in terms of concurrence (CN), Bell non-locality (BN), and trace distance discord (TDD), which quantify entanglement, non-local correlations, and quantum discord, respectively. Our model explores the impact of key parameters such as the beam-splitter angle, ?, channel parameter, ?, and angular frequency, ?, on these quantum correlations. The results show that CN and BN exhibit oscillatory behavior with periodic revivals, but tend to decay more rapidly under noisy conditions. Conversely, TDD demonstrates greater robustness, persisting even when CN and BN collapse, indicating the survival of quantum correlations in separable states. Higher noise strength and angular frequencies induce faster oscillations and revivals across all measures, with systems prepared with stronger initial quantum correlations showing increased resilience. This study highlights the robustness of quantum discord in noisy environments and its potential role in quantum information processing, even in the absence of entanglement.

Effects of intrinsic decoherence on discord-like correlation measures of two-qubit spin squeezing model

Venkat Abhignan, R Muthuganesan

Abstract Quantum decoherence happens when the system interacts with the environment. Quantum correlation behaviours in the two-qubit spin squeezing model are studied under the influence of intrinsic decoherence. Quantitative results were determined, which depend on parameters of the physical system by checking different quantifiers of quantum correlation such as entanglement, local quantum uncertainty, trace distance discord and uncertainty-induced quantum nonlocality. We show that the entanglement suffers from intrinsic decoherence and exhibits sudden death, whereas the other measures are more robust against intrinsic decoherence. Further, we highlight the role of spin squeezing coupling constant and magnetic field.

Comparison of quantum discord and local quantum uncertainty in a vertical quantum dot

E. Faizi, H. Eftekhari

In this paper, we consider quantum correlations (quantum discord and local quantum uncertainty) in a vertical quantum dot. Their dependencies on magnetic field and temperature are presented in detail. It is noticeable that, quantum discord and local quantum uncertainty behavior is similar to a large extent. In addition, the time evolution of quantum discord and local quantum uncertainty under dephasing and amplitude damping channels is investigated. It has been found that, for some Belldiagonal states quantum discord is invariant under some decoherence in a finite time interval [Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 200401 (2010)]. Also, our results show that quantum discord is invariant under dephasing channel for a finite time interval in a vertical quantum dot, while this phenomenon does not occurs for local quantum uncertainty case.

Comparative investigation of the freezing phenomena for quantum correlations under nondissipative decoherence

Benjamin Aaronson, Rosario Lo Franco, Gerardo Adesso

We show that the phenomenon of frozen discord, exhibited by specific classes of two-qubit states under local nondissipative decoherent evolutions, is a common feature of all known bona fide measures of general quantum correlations. All those measures, despite inducing typically inequivalent orderings on the set of nonclassically correlated states, return a constant value in the considered settings. Every communication protocol that relies on quantum correlations as a resource will run with a performance completely unaffected by noise in the specified dynamical conditions. We provide a geometric interpretation of this phenomenon.
