Quantum correlation of qubit-reservoir system in dissipative environments

Abstract

In this work, the dynamics of quantum correlation (QC) in terms of geometric discord and its transfer coupled with dissipative reservoirs are investigated. Taken two canonical cases where the qubits of interest are initially prepared in extended Werner-like state and W-like states into account, we specifically reveal the dynamical behaviors of the geometric discord as each qubit locally interacts with its surrounding infinite degree-of-freedom reservoir. In the scenarios, the short-term and long-term dynamics of the geometric discord for the qubit- and reservoir-subsystem as well as its transfers between them are observed detailedly. It turns out that the geometric discord of qubit-subsystem decays asymptotically to zero while the counterpart of reservoir-subsystem can revive from time t = 0 to steady value, which sheds light on a transfer of the discord from the qubit-subsystem to the corresponding reservoir-subsystem.

The transfer dynamics of quantum correlation between systems and reservoirs

Zhong‐Xiao Man, Yun‐Jie Xia, Nguyen Ba An

In this work, we study the dynamics of quantum correlation (QC) in terms of quantum discord and its transfer for multiqubit systems in dissipative environments. At first, we investigate the dynamics of bipartite QC contained in a three-qubit system that are initially prepared in an extended W-like state with each qubit coupled to an independent reservoir. Subsequently, we study a realistic quantum network of several remote nodes each of which contains two qubits in contact with a common reservoir. For the simplest case of two nodes, we study the dynamics of QC and its transfer from the initially correlated system to the reservoirs and other degrees of freedom. In both models, we pay particular attention to the independent evolution and transfer of QC without the participation of entanglement when the systems of interest are initially prepared in unentangled states. We also observe the occurrence of sudden changes of quantum discord when the systems are initially in mixed states.

THE DYNAMICS OF GEOMETRIC DISCORD AND ITS TRANSFER IN ATOM-CAVITY-RESERVOIR SYSTEM

Tao Wu, Xue‐Ke Song, Liu Ye

The dynamics of geometric discord (GD) and its transfer in a dissipative system consisting of two independent atom-cavity-reservoir subsystems under the strong coupling and the weak coupling regimes is studied. It is shown that the GD of the atoms and the cavities oscillatorily decays to zero while the reservoirs begin to present nonzero geometric quantum discord already immediately after t = 0 in the strong coupling regime. However, in the weak coupling regime, the GD between the atoms progressively decays becoming zero and the discord between the reservoirs arises from zero to a steady value, while the cavities remain almost uncorrelated during the evolution. We also show that the amount of GD contained in atoms and reservoirs depends on the purity p and it is proportional to p, the smaller the value of p the smaller the amount of GD. It is worth noting that, in both strong coupling and the weak coupling regimes, the results show that GD initially stored in the atoms will eventually be completely transferred to the reservoirs, independent of the parameters, but the transfer is mediated via the cavities in the strong coupling regime, while it is almost directly in the weak coupling regime.

Dynamics of quantum discord and geometric quantum discord in multiqubit interacting system

Xiao-Di 晓迪 Cheng 程, Ya‐Jun Zheng, Meng-Jie 梦杰 Ran 冉 +1 more

Abstract Using quantum discord (QD) and geometric quantum discord (GQD), quantum correlation dynamics is investigated for two coupled qubits within a multiqubit interacting system in the zero-temperature bosonic reservoir, under both weak and strong qubit-reservoir coupling regimes. The multiqubit system is connected with either a common bosonic reservoir (CBR) or multiple independent bosonic reservoirs (IBRs). In the CBR case, our findings indicate that both QD and GQD can be strengthened by increasing the number of qubits in the multiqubit system. Furthermore, we study the steady state QD and GQD in the strong coupling regime, and find that the stable value in the long-time limit is determined exclusively by the number of qubits. The evolution period of QD and GQD gets longer as the dipole–dipole interaction (DDI) strength increases, which helps prolong the correlation time and thus preserves the quantum correlation under the weak coupling regime. Further analysis reveals notable differences between the CBR and IBRs scenarios. In the IBRs case, the decay of QD and GQD becomes slower compared to the CBR case, with both measures tending to zero at a reduced rate. Moreover, GQD consistently exhibits lower values than QD in both scenarios. These findings provide valuable insights into the selection of appropriate correlation measurement techniques for quantifying quantum correlations.

Quantum Correlation Dynamics of Three Qubits in Non-Markovian Environments

M. A. Shukri, Fares S. S. Alzahri, Ali Saif M. Hassan

We investigate the quantum correlation dynamics of three independent qubits each locally interacting with a zero temperature non-Markovian reservoir by using the Geometric measure of quantum discord (GQD). The dependence of quantum correlation dynamicson amount of non-Markovian, the degree of initial quantum correlation and purity of the initial states are studied in detail. It is found that the quantum correlation of such three qubits system revives after instantaneous disappearance period when a proper amount of non-Markovian is present. A comparison to the pairwise quantum discord and entanglement dynamics in three qubits system is also made.

Geometric quantum discord of Heisenberg model with dissipative terms

Jin Hao Liang, Chengwei Zhang

In this paper, we study a system with two interacting qubits described by the Heisenberg model with dissipative terms, and analyze decay dynamics and the steady-state of geometric quantum discords. Our results indicate that we can ignore the interaction force in the z-direction and adjust the parameters to change the loss of quantum correlation with time when the initial state satisfies some conditions. Moreover, we show that after a long enough period of time, unlike other parameters, the energy and the intensity of the non-uniform magnetic field do not affect the steady-state.

Geometric quantum discords of interacting qubits in thermal reservoir

Zhao Li, Xiaomin Wang, Wu Zhou +1 more

We examined decay dynamics of various geometric quantum discords (GQDs) for two interacting qubits described by the Heisenberg XY model and further coupled independently to their respective thermal reservoirs. Compared to the case of noninteracting qubits, our results showed that decay rates of the GQDs can be retarded apparently by properly choosing system parameters of the interaction term. In the long-time limit, the asymptotic values of the GQDs are enhanced evidently by tuning anisotropy of the model and strength of the transverse magnetic field. We further illuminated the relations between different GQDs on characterizing quantum correlations, and observed multiple sudden change behaviors of their dynamics.
