Sudden Death of Entanglement in a Two-Qubit System Coupled to a Small Environment

Abstract

We study the entanglement dynamics of two interacting qubits, having only one of them coupled to a small environment (single mode thermal field). We verify the existence of sudden death of entanglement in the system.

Entanglement and decoherence of coupled superconductor qubits in a non-Markovian environment

Yinghua Ji, Juju Hu

The sudden death of entanglement is investigated for the non-Markovian dynamic process of a pair of interacting flux qubits under a thermal bath. The results show that, for initially two-qubit entangled states, entanglement sudden death (ESD) always happens in the thermal reservoir, where its appearance strongly depends on the environment. In particular, ESD of the qubits occurs more easily for the non-Markovian process than for the Markovian one.

Suppressing entanglement sudden death by initial system-environment correlation

Ping Yue, Qiang Zheng, Zhongzhou Ren

This paper studies the entanglement dynamics of the system S composed of two non-interactional qubits A and B. The third qubit C is its environment, E, which only interacts with the S qubit B by the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya spin-orbit coupling. Considering the following states as the whole (S+E): the initially S-E correlated state and the separable one, the entanglement of S has no sudden death for the former case. This result sheds some light on the control of quantum entanglement, which will be helpful for quantum information processing.

Entanglement dynamics of high-dimensional bipartite field states inside the cavities in dissipative environments

Rabia Tahira, Manzoor Ikram, Smail B. Bougouffa +1 more

We investigate the phenomenon of sudden death of entanglement in a high-dimensional bipartite system subjected to dissipative environments with an arbitrary initial pure entangled state between two fields in the cavities. We find that in a vacuum reservoir, the presence of the state where one or more than one (two) photons in each cavity are present is a necessary condition for the sudden death of entanglement. Otherwise entanglement remains for infinite time and decays asymptotically with the decay of individual qubits. For pure two-qubit entangled states in a thermal environment, we observe that sudden death of entanglement always occurs. The sudden death time of the entangled states is related to the number of photons in the cavities, the temperature of the reservoir and the initial preparation of the entangled states.

Universality of sudden death of entanglement

F. F. Fanchini, Paulo E. M. F. Mendonça, Reginaldo de Jesus Napolitano

We present a constructive argument to demonstrate the universality of the sudden death of entanglement in the case of two non-interacting qubits, each of which generically coupled to independent Markovian environments at zero temperature. Conditions for the occurrence of the abrupt disappearance of entanglement are determined and, most importantly, rigourously shown to be \emph{almost} always satisfied: Dynamical models for which the sudden death of entanglement does not occur are seen to form a highly idealized zero-measure subset within the set of all possible quantum dynamics.

Entanglement dynamics of a pure bipartite system in dissipative environments

Rabia Tahira, Manzoor Ikram, Tasnim Azim +1 more

We investigate the phenomenon of sudden death of entanglement in a bipartite system subjected to dissipative environments with arbitrary initial pure entangled state between two atoms. We find that in a vacuum reservoir the presence of the state where both atoms are in excited states is a necessary condition for the sudden death of entanglement. Otherwise entanglement remains for an infinite time and decays asymptotically with the decay of individual qubits. For pure 2-qubit entangled states in a thermal environment, we observe that the sudden death of entanglement always happens. The sudden death time of the entangled states is related to the temperature of the reservoir and the initial preparation of the entangled states.

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.
