Collapse and Revival of Entanglement in Interacting Qubits in Contact with the Environment

Sumanta Das, G. S. Agarwal

Published Jan 14, 2009• 0 citations

Abstract

Interaction among the qubits are basis to many quantum logic operations. We report how such inter-qubit interactions can lead to new features, in the form of bright and dark periods in the entanglement dynamics of two qubits subject to environmental perturbations. These features are seen to be precursors to the well known phenomenon of sudden death of entanglement [Yu $&$ Eberly, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 93}, 140404 (2004)] for noninteracting qubits. Further we find that the generation of bright and dark periods are generic and occur for wide varieties of the models of environment. We present explicit results for two popular models.

Decoherence effects in interacting qubits under the influence of various environments

Sumanta Das, G. S. Agarwal

We study competition between the dissipative and coherent effects in the entanglement dynamics of two qubits. The coherent interactions are needed for designing logic gate operations with systems such as ion traps, semiconductor quantum dots and atoms. We show that the interactions lead to a phenomenon of periodic disentanglement and entanglement between the qubits. The disentanglement is primarily caused by environmental perturbations. The qubits are seen to remain disentangled for a finite time before getting entangled again. We find that the phenomenon is generic and occurs for a wide variety of models of the environment. We present analytical results for the time dependence of concurrence for all the models. The periodic disentanglement and entanglement behaviour is seen to be a precursor to the sudden death of entanglement (ESD) and can happen for environments which do not show ESD for non-interacting qubits. Further we also find that this phenomenon can even lead to delayed death of entanglement for correlated environments.

Competing Effects of Environment and Inter-Qubit Interactions in the Entanglement Dynamics of Two qubits

Sumanta Das, G. S. Agarwal

We show that coherent qubit-qubit interactions lead to bright and dark periods in the entanglement dynamics of two entangled qubits in contact with an environment. This behavior is further found to be generic in nature.

Dark periods and revivals of entanglement in a two-qubit system

Z. Ficek, R. Tanaś

In a recent paper Yu and Eberly [Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 140404 (2004)] have shown that two initially entangled and afterward not interacting qubits can become completely disentangled in a finite time. We study transient entanglement between two qubits coupled collectively to a multimode vacuum field, assuming that the two-qubit system is initially prepared in an entangled state produced by the two-photon coherences, and find the unusual feature that the irreversible spontaneous decay can lead to a revival of the entanglement that has already been destroyed. The results show that this feature is independent of the coherent dipole-dipole interaction between the atoms but it depends critically on whether or not collective damping is present.

Entanglement sudden death and revival in quantum dark-soliton qubits

Muzzamal Iqbal Shaukat, Eduardo V. Castro, Hugo Terças

We study the finite time entanglement dynamics between two dark-soliton qubits due to quantum fluctuations in quasi-one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates. Recently, dark solitons are proved to be an appealing platform for qubits due to their appreciably long lifetime. We explore the entanglement decay for an entangled state of two phonon coherences and the qubits to be in the diagonal basis of so-called Dicke states. We observe the collapse and revival of the entanglement, depending critically on the collective damping term but independent of the qubit-qubit interaction for both initial states. The collective behavior of the dark-soliton qubits demonstrate the dependence of entanglement evolution on the interatomic distance.

Schemes to avoid entanglement sudden death of decohering two qubit system

C. V. Namitha, S. V. M. Satyanarayana

We investigate the entanglement dynamics of two interacting qubits in a common vacuum environment. The inevitable environment interaction leads to entanglement sudden death (ESD) in a two qubit entangled state system. The entanglement dynamics can be modified by the use of local unitary operations (quantum gates), applied on the system during its evolution. We show that these operations not only delays or avoids the ESD but also advances the entanglement revival with high concurrence value depending on the time of operation. We have analytically found out different time windows for switching with different quantum gates so that the ESD can be completely avoided in the subsequent evolution of the system. Our result offers practical applications in the field of quantum information processing where the entanglement is a necessary resource.
