Abstract

Abstract. We study the entanglement dynamics in the externally-driven single-mode Dicke model in the thermodynamic limit, when the field is in resonance with the atoms. We compute the correlations in the atoms-field ground state by means of the density operator that represents the pure state of the universe and the reduced density operator for the atoms, which results from taking the partial trace over the field coordinates. As a measure of bipartite entanglement, we calculate the linear entropy, from which we analyze the entanglement dynamics. In particular, we found a strong relation between the stability of the dynamical parameters and the reported entanglement. 1.

The externally-driven nonequilibrium dicke model

V. M. Bastidas

In this thesis, we study the nonequilibrium dynamics of the time dependent single mode Dicke model in the thermodynamic limit in the context of the Liouville-von Neumann canonical method. We report an exact solution for this model under a non-equilibrium situation, generated by time dependent control parameters. We compute the correlations: in the atom-field ground state by means of the density operator for the pure state of the universe, and the corresponding reduced density operator for the atoms when the field is in resonance with the atomic ensemble. We obtain a closed relationship between the correlations in the ground state, the localisation of the atom¿s Wigner function in phase space, and the localisation of the wave function of the universe. As a measure of bipartite entanglement, we calculate the linear entropy from which we study the atom-field entanglement dynamics. In particular, we find a strong relationship between the stability of the auxiliary dynamical parameters, the reported entanglement, and the dynamics of certain physical observables. Furthermore, we use the Liouville-von Neumann technique to study the influence of quantum and thermal fluctuations on the dynamics of the normal and the superradiant phase. In addition, we calculate the density matrix for the quantum mechanical evolution of an initial thermal equilibrium state in the case of an instantaneous atom-field coupling and time independent ω and ω0.

Entanglement and entropy in a spin-boson quantum phase transition

Neill Lambert, Clive Emary, Tobias Brandes

We investigate the entanglement properties of an ensemble of atoms interacting with a single bosonic field mode via the Dicke (superradiance) Hamiltonian. The model exhibits a quantum phase transition and a well-understood thermodynamic limit, allowing the identification of both quantum and semiclassical many-body features in the behavior of the entanglement. We consider the entanglement between the atoms and the field, an investigation initiated in Lambert et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 073602 (2004)]. In the thermodynamic limit, we give exact results for all entanglement partitions and observe a logarithmic divergence of the atom-field entanglement, and discontinuities in the average linear entropy.

Entanglement and parametric resonance in driven quantum systems

V. M. Bastidas, John Henry Reina, Clive Emary +1 more

We study the relationship between entanglement and parametric resonance in a system of two coupled time-dependent oscillators. As a measure of bipartite entanglement, we calculate the linear entropy for the reduced density operator, from which we study the entanglement dynamics. In particular, we find that the bipartite entanglement increases in time up to a maximal mixing scenario, when the set of auxiliary dynamical parameters are under parametric resonance. Moreover, we obtain a closed relationship between the correlations in the ground state, the localization of the Wigner function in phase space, and the localization of the wave function of the total system.

The driven Dicke Model: time-dependent mean field and quantum fluctuations in a non-equilibrium quantum many-body system

Gianluca Francica, Simone Montangero, Mauro Paternostro +1 more

We establish a new theoretical framework, based on a time-dependent mean field approach, to address the dynamics of the driven Dicke model. The joint evolution of both mean fields and quantum fluctuations gives rise to a rich and generally non-linear dynamics, featuring a normal (stable) regime and an unstable, super-radiant one. Various dynamical phenomena emerge, such as the spontaneous amplification of vacuum fluctuations, or the appearance of special points around which the mean-field amplitudes rotate during driven time evolution, signalling a dynamical symmetry breaking. We also provide a characterization of the driving-induced photon production in terms of the work done by the driving agent, of the non-adiabaticity of the process and of the entanglement generated between the atomic system and the cavity mode.

Entanglement Characteristics of a Spin-Boson Quantum Phase Transition

We investigate the entanglement properties of an ensemble of atoms interacting with a single bosonic field mode via the Dicke (superradiance) Hamiltonian. The model exhibits a quantum phase transition and a well-understood thermodynamic limit, allowing the identification of both quantum and semi-classical many-body features in the behavior of the entanglement. We consider entanglement between the atoms and field, as well both bi- and multi- partite entanglement between atoms. In the thermodynamic limit, we give exact results for all entanglement partitions and observe a logarithmic divergence of the atom-field entanglement, and discontinuities in the pairwise and multipartite entanglement.
