Abstract

Abstract Symmetric quantum correlations and properties have been often investigated earlier in the process of quantum decoherence. However, the asymmetric quantum features, such as steering, have been rarely considered in this context. In this work, we study Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen steering, measured by steering robustness R , for two-qubit systems under asymmetric noise channels. For the one-sided asymmetric noise channels, we explore the influence of several typical channels on the asymmetric decay of steering. Our results show that the asymmetric steering is directly linked to the initial state as well as the type of noises. We prove that asymmetric decay can be used to characterize the properties of the channels in some certain. For the two-sided asymmetric noise channels, the results show that the behavior of steering are also both initial states and combination types depended. Moreover, we show that there always exist asymmetric steering even the initial state is high symmetry for the depolarizing-amplitude damping combination channel.

Improving Steering and Entanglement by Local Filtering Operation under Noisy Channels

Qing-Yun Zhou, Fa Zhao, Dong Wang +1 more

In reality, a quantum system will inevitably interact with the environment around it, and this will lead to decoherence. In this paper, we mainly study quantum entanglement and Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) steering of two-qubit system in some typical environments. Exactly, consider the initial two-qubit state to be the Werner-type state, we let one of the qubits pass through some different channels including amplitude damping (AD) channel, phase damping (PD) channel, phase flip (PF) channel, and bit flip (BF) channel. We research entanglement and EPR steering in the progress. Most importantly, we find that entanglement and EPR steering can be improved by local filtering operations with an appropriate k. Besides, we also give an example of the fact that the EPR steering is the proper subset of entanglement. These results will promote the application of the two quantum resources in quantum information tasks.

Manipulating the direction of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering

Zhongzhong Qin, Xiaowei Deng, Caixing Tian +4 more

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering exhibits an inherent asymmetric feature that differs from both entanglement and Bell nonlocality, which leads to one-way EPR steering. Although this one-way EPR steering phenomenon has been experimentally observed, the schemes to manipulate the direction of EPR steering have not been investigated thoroughly. In this paper, we propose and experimentally demonstrate three schemes to manipulate the direction of EPR steering, either by varying the noise on one party of a two-mode squeezed state (TMSS) or transmitting the TMSS in a noisy channel. The dependence of the direction of EPR steering on the noise and transmission efficiency in the quantum channel is analyzed. The experimental results show that the direction of EPR steering of the TMSS can be changed in the presented schemes. Our work is helpful in understanding the fundamental asymmetry of quantum nonlocality and has potential applications in future asymmetric quantum information processing.

Symmetry in the open-system dynamics of quantum correlations

Henri Lyyra, Göktuğ Karpat, Chuan-Feng Li +3 more

We study the symmetry properties in the dynamics of quantum correlations for two-qubit systems in one-sided noisy channels, with respect to a switch in the location of noise from one qubit to the other. We consider four different channel types, namely depolarizing, amplitude damping, bit-flip, and bit-phase-flip channel, and identify the classes of initial states leading to symmetric decay of entanglement, non-locality and discord. Our results show that the symmetric decay of quantum correlations is not directly linked to the presence or absence of symmetry in the initial state, while it does depend on the type of correlation considered as well as on the type of noise. We prove that asymmetric decay can be used to infer, in certain cases, characteristic properties of the channel. We also show that the location of noise may lead to dramatic changes in the persistence of phenomena such as entanglement sudden death and time-invariant discord.

Sudden death and revival of Gaussian Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen steering in noisy channels

Xiaowei Deng, Yang Liu, Meihong Wang +2 more

Abstract Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) steering is a useful resource for secure quantum information tasks. It is crucial to investigate the effect of inevitable loss and noise in quantum channels on EPR steering. We analyze and experimentally demonstrate the influence of purity of quantum states and excess noise on Gaussian EPR steering by distributing a two-mode squeezed state through lossy and noisy channels, respectively. We show that the impurity of state never leads to sudden death of Gaussian EPR steering, but the noise in quantum channel can. Then we revive the disappeared Gaussian EPR steering by establishing a correlated noisy channel. Different from entanglement, the sudden death and revival of Gaussian EPR steering are directional. Our result confirms that EPR steering criteria proposed by Reid and I. Kogias et al. are equivalent in our case. The presented results pave way for asymmetric quantum information processing exploiting Gaussian EPR steering in noisy environment.

Dynamics of multipartite quantum steering for different types of decoherence channels

Weichen Li, Ya Xiao, Zhao-Qi-Zhi Han +3 more

Multipartite quantum steering, a unique resource for asymmetric quantum network information tasks, is very fragile to the inevitable decoherence, which makes it useless for practical purposes. It is thus of importance to understand how it decays in the presence of noise channels. We study the dynamic behaviors of genuine tripartite steering, reduced bipartite steering, and collective steering of a generalized three-qubit W state when only one qubit interacts independently with the amplitude damping channel (ADC), phase damping channel (PDC) or depolarizing channel (DC). Our results provide the region of decoherence strength and state parameters that each type of steering can survive. The results show that these steering correlations decay the slowest in PDC and some non-maximally entangled states more robust than the maximally entangled ones. Unlike entanglement and Bell nonlocality, the thresholds of decoherence strength that reduced bipartite steering and collective steering can survive depend on the steering direction. In addition, we find that not only one party can be steered by a group system, but also two parties can be steered by a single system. There is a trade-off between the monogamy relation involving one steered party and two steered parties. Our work provides comprehensive information about the effect of decoherence on multipartite quantum steering, which will help to realize quantum information processing tasks in the presence of noise environments.

Observation of Diverse Asymmetric Structures in High-Dimensional Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Steering

Rui Qu, Chao Zhang, Zehong Chang +7 more

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering, a distinctive quantum correlation, reveals a unique and inherent asymmetry. This research delves into the multifaceted asymmetry of EPR steering within high-dimensional quantum systems, exploring both theoretical frameworks and experimental validations. We introduce the concept of genuine high-dimensional one-way steering, wherein a high Schmidt number of bipartite quantum states is demonstrable in one steering direction but not reciprocally. Additionally, we explore two criteria to certify the lower and upper bounds of the Schmidt number within a one-sided device-independent context. These criteria serve as tools for identifying potential asymmetric dimensionality of EPR steering in both directions. By preparing two-qutrit mixed states with high fidelity, we experimentally observe asymmetric structures of EPR steering in the C^{3}⊗C^{3} Hilbert space. Our Letter offers new perspectives to understand the asymmetric EPR steering beyond qubits and has potential applications in asymmetric high-dimensional quantum information tasks.
