Abstract

By means of composite quantum collision models, we study the entanglement dynamics of a bipartite system, i.e., two qubits S 1 and S 2 interacting directly with an intermediate auxiliary qubit S A, while S A is in turn coupled to a thermal reservoir. We are concerned with how the intracollisions of the reservoir qubits influence the entanglement dynamics. We show that even if the system is initially in the separated state, their entanglement can be generated due to the interaction between the qubits. In the long-time limit, the steady-state entanglement can be generated depending on the initial state of S 1 and S 2 and the environment temperature. We also study the dynamics of tripartite entanglement of the three qubits S 1, S 2, and S A when they are initially prepared in the GHZ state and separated state, respectively. For the GHZ initial state, the tripartite entanglement can be maintained for a long time when the collision strength between the environment qubits is sufficiently large.

Effect of entanglement embedded in environment on quantum non-Markovianity based on collision model

Xiao-Ming 晓明 Li 李, Yong-Xu Chen, Yun‐Jie Xia +1 more

Abstract By means of collision models (CMs) where the environment is simulated by a collection of ancillas consisting of two entangled qubits, we investigate the effects of entanglement in the environment on the non-Markovianity of an open quantum system. Two CMs are considered in this study, in the first one the open quantum system S directly collides with the environment, while in the second one the system interacts with two intermediate qubits which, in turn, are coupled to the environment. We show that it is possible to enhance the non-Markovianity by environment entanglement in both models. In particular, in the second model, we show that the initial state of the auxiliary qubits can also affect the non-Markovianity of the system and there exists the optimal combination of the initial environmental state and the initial state of auxiliary qubits. In this case, the non-Markovianity can be greatly enhanced.

Bipartite and tripartite entanglement in the two-qubit quantum Rabi model

毛丽君, Hongmei 红梅 Wang 王, Yaoyao Zhou +1 more

Abstract This study investigates the entanglement dynamics of the two-qubit quantum Rabi model (QRM) with both homogeneous and inhomogeneous couplings using the adiabatic approximation. The quantized field is initially prepared in a coherent state, while a separable state and a maximally entangled Bell state are selected as the initial two-qubit states. We characterize distinct types of entanglement generated among the subsystems through qubit–field interactions, with a focus on the bipartite entanglement between a single qubit and the field. Building on this, we examine tripartite correlations through the I -residual tangle, a measure that conclusively verifies the presence of genuine tripartite entanglement among the two qubits and the field. This work provides insights into the generation of tunable multipartite entanglement and the detection of quantum phase transitions in light–matter systems, such as circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED).

Improving Entanglement Generation Using the Coherence of a Nonthermal Reservoir

Xiao‐Ming Li, Zhong‐Xiao Man, Yun‐Jie Xia

Abstract The effect of environmental coherence on bipartite and tripartite quantum entanglements using quantum collision models is studied. In the collision model, an open quantum system of two qubits indirectly interacts with the reservoir via auxiliary qubits. The reservoir is modeled as a collection of initially uncorrelated qubits prepared in an identically nonthermal state. It is shown that the coherence of the nonthermal reservoir contributes to the generation and protection of entanglement. It is found that adding coherence to the initial state of the reservoir qubit can significantly enhance the steady‐state entanglement of the system, and the presence of coherence in the reservoir allows steady‐state entanglement to be obtained in a higher temperature region.

Exact dynamics of interacting qubits in a thermal environment: results beyond the weak coupling limit

Lian-Ao Wu, Claire X. Yu, Dvira Segal

We demonstrate an exact mapping of a class of models of two interacting qubits in thermal reservoirs to two separate problems of spin–boson-type systems. Based on this mapping, exact numerical simulations of the qubits dynamics can be performed, beyond the weak system–bath coupling limit and the Markovian approximation. Given the time evolution of the system population and coherences, we study as an application the dynamics of entanglement between the pair of qubits immersed in boson thermal baths, showing a rich phenomenology, including an intermediate oscillatory behavior, the entanglement sudden birth, sudden death and revival. We find that the occurrence of entanglement sudden death in this model depends on the portion of the zero and double excitation states in the subsystem initial state. In the long-time limit, analytic expressions are presented at weak system–bath coupling, for a range of relevant qubit parameters.

Quantum synchronization with correlated baths

Lei 磊 Li 李, Chun-Hui 春辉 Wang 王, Hong-Hao 洪浩 Yin 尹 +2 more

We study quantum synchronization under the nonequilibrium reservoirs. We consider a two-qubit XXZ chain coupled independently to their own reservoirs modeled by the collisional model. Two reservoir particles, initially prepared in a thermal state or a state with coherence, are correlated through a unitary transformation and afterward interact locally with the two quantum subsystems. We study the quantum effect of reservoir on synchronous dynamics of system. By preparing different reservoir initial states or manipulating the reservoir particles coupling and the temperature gradient, we find that quantum entanglement of reservoir is the key to control quantum synchronization of system qubits.

NON-MARKOVIAN DYNAMICS OF SYSTEM-RESERVOIR ENTANGLEMENT

Francesco Plastina, Sabrina Maniscalco

Using an exact approach, we study the dynamics of entanglement between two qubits coupled to independent reservoirs and between the two, initially disentangled, reservoirs. We also describe the transfer of bipartite entanglement from the two qubits to their respective reservoirs focussing on the case of two atoms inside two different leaky cavities with a specific attention to the role of the detuning. We present a scheme to prepare the cavity fields in a maximally entangled state, without direct interaction between the cavities, by exploiting the initial qubits entanglement. We discuss a deterministic protocol, working in the presence of cavity losses, for the generation of a W-state of one qubit and two cavity fields and we describe a probabilistic scheme to entangle one of the atoms with the reservoir (cavity field) of the other atom.
