Abstract

In this thesis, we will analyze quantum entanglement phenomena in systems composed of quantum molecules, considering two different models. In the first, N molecules, each with a single excess electron, interact via Coulomb coupling. This interaction is restricted to the first neighbors. In the second system, electrons from distinct molecules interact with each other through the electron-phonon coupling. Considering the N-molecule system, we broadened our studies started in the master’s degree to verify the characteristics of the energy spectrum and eigenstates for the molecule system. We focus on the scalability of the system and its effect on entanglement, showing that some specific eigenstates are systematically associated with the maximally entangled GHZ states, regardless of the number of molecules. In the second part of the work, we explore the entanglement of both the electronic subsystem and the phonon subsystem, defining a new base composed of Bell’s electronic states associated with the excitation states in vibrational modes, which allows rewriting the Hamiltonian to the composite system. From this point of view, it is possible to determine a set of 4 ⊗ 4 matrix subspaces that elucidated the study of the entanglement behavior in both subsystems, allowing the determination of distinct sets of parameters effective in generating highly entangled states in the electronic subsystem and now in the phononic subsystem.

In this work, we study the dynamics of entanglement between two eletronic qubits inside two coupled quantum molecules, where each molecule is consisting of two semiconductor quantum dots.Our first interest is to explore the production of maximally entangled states in the two level system not considering dissipation.Using the Bell states, we define a new basis for the system of interest, which allows to obtain a new Hamiltonian for the quantum molecules.To analyze the characteristics of eigenstates of the Hamiltonian which describes the quantum molecules, we use a measure of entanglement called concurrence.From the new base, we verify the behavior the dynamics of entanglement by manipulating the physical parameters of the system as the detuning and the tunneling between the quantum dots contained in molecules and the Coulomb interaction.We identified a set of physical parameters which are linked to the creation of maximally entangled states and other conditions where it is not possible to entangle the subsystems.

Quantum entanglement between electronic and vibrational degrees of freedom in molecules

L. K. McKemmish, Ross H. McKenzie, Noel S. Hush +1 more

We consider the quantum entanglement of the electronic and vibrational degrees of freedom in molecules with tendencies towards double welled potentials. In these bipartite systems, the von Neumann entropy of the reduced density matrix is used to quantify the electron-vibration entanglement for the lowest two vibronic wavefunctions obtained from a model Hamiltonian based on coupled harmonic diabatic potential-energy surfaces. Significant entanglement is found only in the region in which the ground vibronic state contains a density profile that is bimodal (i.e., contains two separate local maxima). However, in this region two distinct types of density and entanglement profiles are found: one type arises purely from the degeneracy of energy levels in the two potential wells and is destroyed by slight asymmetry, while the other arises through strong interactions between the diabatic levels of each well and is relatively insensitive to asymmetry. These two distinct types are termed fragile degeneracy-induced entanglement and persistent entanglement, respectively. Six classic molecular systems describable by two diabatic states are considered: ammonia, benzene, BNB, pyridine excited triplet states, the Creutz-Taube ion, and the radical cation of the "special pair" of chlorophylls involved in photosynthesis. These chemically diverse systems are all treated using the same general formalism and the nature of the entanglement that they embody is elucidated.

Structured Unitary Matrices and Quantum Entanglement

Wojciech Bruzda

We explore the set of unitary matrices characterized by a given structure in the context of their applications in the field of Quantum Information. In the first part of the Thesis we focus on classification of special classes of unitary matrices and possibility of introducing certain internal parameterizations. Several new results and conjectures are discussed. Second part of the Thesis is devoted to the concept of multipartite quantum entanglement. We present a solution to the problem of absolutely maximally entangled states of four subsystems with six levels each. Finally, we analyze the excess of a matrix and the corresponding Bell inequalities. This combination allows us to draw new conclusions related to quantum nonlocality.

Entanglement between electronic and vibrational Schrödinger-cat states in coupled molecules

N. S. Maslova, Vladimir N. Mantsevich, P. I. Arseyev +1 more

In the present work we theoretically analyze the emergence appearance of entanglement between electronic and vibrational states in a system of two coupled molecules after switching on the interaction between them. In the framework of the adiabatic approach this effect appears because the equilibrium position of one of the molecules is sensitive to its electron occupation. The time evolution of the system shows multiple changes between its entangled and unentangled states. If this evolution starts from a pure coherent vibrational mode state and a state of a single electron localized in one of the molecules, the Schr\"odinger-cat states can appear during the system's time evolution. The Schr\"odinger-cat states can arise as a quantum superposition of distinct coherent states of molecule vibrational mode. Such states are entangled with empty and singly occupied electronic states of the molecule. The presence of entanglement between electronic and vibrational molecule states can be revealed by measuring the electron occupation (charge) of a particular molecule.

Interação radiação-matéria em pontos quânticos semicondutores em nanocavidades

Integrating solid-state qubits to photonic circuit can be a revolutionary ingredient for quantum information processing and transportation of information. If on one hand solidstate based qubits are a very promising candidate for the quantum computation unit, photons, on the other hand, are the most reliable and fast way to transport information. Making the junction of this two ingredients is highly desired. In this sense, semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) in photonic crystals (PhC) provide a perfect environment for such an integration, where waveguides can be used to connect qubits and detectors. In this work, the light-matter interaction of a system composed of quantum dots embedded in semiconductors nanocavities is studied in details using density matrix formalism in the Lindblad form. In a first study, the effect of incoherent therms on the splitting of emission spectrum of a single QD inside a PhC is analyzed and we found that the splitting observed in the experiments can not translated very easily by polaritonic splitting. In other words, the observed splitting is not the coherent coupling between exciton and photons. In another work a quantum dot molecule inside a PhC is used and found that depending on the symmetry (symmetric or anti-symmetric) the molecule state, the splitting in the emission spectrum can be decreased (even zero depending on the choices of parameters) or enhanced when compared to that of a single QD. In the last study the emission spectrum of a system composed of an empty cavity coupled to another cavity with a single QD embedded is investigated. Our results demonstrate that the emission spectra of a low quality factor mode of the empty cavity can be used to monitor the quantum dot-cavity subsystem and its interactions.

A great effort has been devoted to understand Quantum InformationTheory. This interest comes from the fact that this field has given us advanced methods to process and store information. Among these proposals we can cite the teleportation, the quantum cryptography, and the quantum computation. Interestingly, entanglement is the main resource that puts the quantum approach in a higher level than the classical counterpart. On the other hand, the theory of entanglement allows also a better understanding of physical phenomena already treated by the fields of condensed matter, statistical physics, and quantum optics among others. In this dissertation we aim to review the main topics concerning the Theory of Entanglement and propose new results on this theme as well. Firstly, we will discuss how the notion of entanglement raises naturally, how to determine whether a state is entangled, and how to quantify it. Moving on to the three qubit context,we will show a tomographic process able to determine the quantum stateof a system using only two detectors. It will be shown the connection between multipartite entanglement and the exceptions to our process. In the multipartite scenario we will obtain novel results in the formalism of the theory.Specifically, we study the question: are all maximally entangled statespure? While for bipartite systems almost all entanglement quantifiers agree in a positive answer, in a more general context this is not the case. Indeed, we will show a multipartite entanglement quantifier for which all maximally entangled states are pure. Finally, we address some questions on identical particle entanglement, i.e.: the entanglement coming just from the indistinguishabilityof quantum particles.
