Abstract

In this work, we examine the process of the quantum transfer of energy considering time-dependent dipole-dipole interaction in a dimer system characterized by two-level atom systems. By taking into account the effect of the acceleration and speed of the atoms in the dimer coupling, we demonstrate that the improvement of the probability for a single-excitation transfer energy extremely benefits from the incorporation of atomic motion effectiveness and the energy detuning. We explore the relevance between the population and entanglement during the time-evolution and show that this kind of nonlocal correlation may be generated during the process of the transfer of energy. Our work may provide optimal conditions to implement realistic experimental scenario in the transfer of the quantum energy.

Coherent excitation-energy transfer and quantum entanglement in a dimer

Jie‐Qiao Liao, Jin‐Feng Huang, Le‐Man Kuang +1 more

We study coherent energy transfer of a single excitation and quantum entanglement in a dimer, which consists of a donor and an acceptor modeled by two two-level systems. Between the donor and the acceptor, there exists a dipole-dipole interaction, which provides the physical mechanism for coherent energy transfer and entanglement generation. The donor and the acceptor couple to two independent heat baths with diagonal couplings that do not dissipate the energy of the noncoupling dimer. Special attention is paid to the effect on single-excitation energy transfer and entanglement generation of the energy detuning between the donor and the acceptor and the temperatures of the two heat baths. It is found that, the probability for single-excitation energy transfer largely depends on the energy detuning in the low temperature limit. Concretely, the positive and negative energy detunings can increase and decrease the probability at steady state, respectively. In the high temperature limit, however, the effect of the energy detuning on the probability is negligibly small. We also find that the probability is negligibly dependent on the bath temperature difference of the two heat baths. In addition, it is found that quantum entanglement can be generated in the process of coherent energy transfer. As the bath temperature increases, the generated steady-state entanglement decreases. For a given bath temperature, the steady-state entanglement decreases with the increase of the absolute value of the energy detuning.

Realistic Quantum Control of Energy Transfer in Photosynthetic Processes

Reda M. El‐Shishtawy, Robert C. Haddon, Saleh H. Al-Heniti +4 more

The occurrence of coherence phenomenon as a result of the interference of the probability amplitude terms is among the principle features of quantum mechanics concepts. Current experiments display the presence of quantum techniques whose coherence is supplied over large interval times. Specifically, photosynthetic mechanisms in light-harvesting complexes furnish oscillatory behaviors owing to quantum coherence. In this manuscript, we study the coherent quantum energy transfer for a single-excitation and nonlocal correlation in a dimer system (donor+acceptor) displayed by two-level systems (TLSs), interacting with a cavity field with a time-dependent coupling effect considering the realistic situation of coupling between each TLS and the cavity field. We analyze and explore the specific conditions which are viable with real experimental realization for the ultimate transfer of quantum energy and nonlocal quantum correlation. We show that the enhancement of the probability for a single-excitation energy transfer greatly benefits from the energy detuning, photon-number transition, classicality of the field, and the time-dependent coupling effect. We also find that the entanglement between the donor and acceptor is very sensitive to the physical parameters and it can be generated during the coherent energy transfer.

Infiuence of dipole-dipole interaction on the transfer and preservation of quantum entanglement information

Dong Kang-jun

Using the method of time-evolution operator,the time evolution properties of the system of identical two-level atoms dipole interacting resonantly with a single-mode cavity field in detail by means of quantum theory is discused.The influence of dipole-dipole interaction on the transfer and preservation of quantum entanglement information is analyzed.The calculation and analysis indicates that the procedure of the swap and conservation of quantum information depends on the initial of the atoms.For W type atoms,the initial entangled information of atoms or photons are contpletely conserved under dipole-dipole interaction intensity satisfying some conditions.It appears also the phenomenon of part exchange and preservation besides some mix entangled states under different conditions.The dipole-dipole interaction doesn't effect on transfer and preservation for GHZ type atom entangled states.

New approach to energy transfer and quantum correlations in a molecular dimer

M Saberi, M. Bagheri Harouni, R. Roknizadeh +1 more

Abstract The dynamics of single-excitation energy transfer in a molecular dimer interacting with a phonon bath is studied. Although there are exact numerical solutions for this system, we propose an approach that provides exact analytical results with few electronic degrees of freedom. This approach is based on considering the phonon subsystem in the coherent state representation. Applying this approach, the long-lived coherence time is evaluated in the weak and strong coupling regimes. Moreover, by calculating the quantum entanglement and global quantum discord, the time evolution of quantum correlations is examined. The effects of two parameters, electronic coupling strength and bath temperature, on the energy transfer and quantum correlations are studied. It is shown, in agreement with previous results, that the long-lived coherence time in the weak coupling regime is longer than in the strong coupling regime. Also, the increasing bath temperature gives rise to faster delocalization of energy transfer. Furthermore, it is illustrated that the bath temperature has a significant effect on the quantum entanglement with respect to the global quantum discord.

Measures of nonclassicality for a two-level atom interacting with power-law potential field under decoherence effect

S. Abdel‐Khalek, K. Berrada, Sadah Abdullah Alkhateeb

Abstract In this paper, we propose a useful quantum system to perform different tasks of quantum information and computational technologies. We explore the required optimal conditions for this system that are feasible with real experimental realization. We present an active way to control the variation of some measures of nonclassicality considering the time-dependent coupling and photon transition effects under a model that closely describes a realistic experimental scenario. We investigate qualitatively the quantum measures for a two-level atom system interacting with a quantum field initially defined in a coherent state in the framework of power-law potentials (PLPCSs). We study the nonlocal correlation in the whole system state using the negativity as a measure of entanglement in terms of the exponent parameter, number of photon transition, and phase damping effect. The influences of the different physical parameters on the statistical properties and purity of the field are also demonstrated during the time evolution. The results indicate that the preservation and enhancement of entanglement greatly benefit from the combination of the choice of the physical parameters. Finally, we explore an interesting relationship between the different quantum measures of non-classicality during the time evolution in the absence and presence of time-dependent coupling effect.

The influence of atomic dipole–dipole interaction on the dynamics of the population inversion and entanglement of two atoms interacting non-resonantly with two coupled modes field

Elham Faraji, Hamid Reza Baghshahi, Mohammad Kazem Tavassoly

In this paper, the non-resonant interaction of two two-level atoms with two quantized cavity fields is studied by considering the dipole–dipole interaction between the two atoms. The correlation between the fields has been taken into account and the parametric down conversion is considered. Under certain initial conditions which is determined for the atoms and the fields, the analytical solution for the time-dependent Schrödinger equation is obtained. Employing this solution, we are able to discuss about some physical properties such as atomic population inversion and entanglement between various subsystems, i.e. “atoms–fields” and “atom–atom” by using respectively von Neumann entropy and negativity. It is deduced from the numerical results that, the mentioned quantities can be controlled by the atomic dipole–dipole interaction and detuning parameter, appropriately. The results show that the degree of entanglement between the two atoms is increased due to the presence of dipole–dipole coupling of the atoms at the beginning of atom–field interaction. Furthermore, it is found that, in the non-resonance condition, the so-called entanglement sudden death occurs in the presence of dipole–dipole interaction.
