Abstract

We propose a scheme to enhance entanglement from amplitude damping or correlated amplitude damping decoherence. We show that entanglement sudden death time can be prolonged by the initial single-qubit operation combined with local filtering operation. For the amplitude damping channel case, we give the optimal single-qubit operation for arbitrary pure state [Formula: see text]. For the correlated amplitude damping channel case, we find that single-qubit operation on the initial state can not only enhance the final entanglement but also avoid entanglement sudden death. Compared to the previous schemes, the optimal operations and local filtering operations used in our scheme are independent with the decay parameters of the environment.

Protecting and enhancing entanglement from correlated amplitude damping channel via non-Hermitian operation

Abstract Using the non-Hermitian operation approach, we propose a scheme to protect and enhance entanglement from correlated amplitude damping decoherence. In contrast to the results of memoryless amplitude damping channel, we show that the memory effects play a significant role in the suppression of entanglement sudden death and induce the entanglement revival. Moreover, we find that the damaged entanglement can be effectively enhanced by using the non-Hermitian operation. Furthermore, the freezing phenomenon of entanglement can be detected by using the optimal non-Hermitian operation.

Protecting qubit-qutrit entanglement via non-Hermitian operation

Li Ji-Xin, Shengli Chang, Yun-Hui Zhao +2 more

Abstract Entangled states with high-dimensional systems have been investigated widely because of their extended possibilities. We investigate the entanglement protection of a qubit–qutrit system under amplitude damping decoherence by employing non-Hermitian operation. We find that the qubit–qutrit entanglement decays monotonically as the decoherence strength increases, and may go through a sudden death for strong decoherence strength. However, we can completely defeat amplitude damping decoherence and recover or even magnify the initial entanglement perfectly by means of non-Hermitian operation. In particular, the non-Hermitian operation can protect entanglement more efficiently in the case of strong decoherence strength than those with small decoherence strength.

Conclusive quantum operation sharing in amplitude-damping channel

Yi Xiang, Nueraminaimu Maihemuti, Peng Jia-yin

In this paper, two conclusive multiparty quantum operation sharing (QOS) schemes in amplitude damping channel are proposed to respectively share partially unknown single-qubit unitary operations and single-qutrit unitary operations from the different restricted sets. To reach this target, the detail procedures of using entanglement compensation in amplitude damped channel to share pure entangled quantum states is first proposed. Then, using the pure entangled quantum state shared between the two sender and their two agents as a quantum channel, the dealer’s secret quantum operation, i.e. partially unknown single-qubit unitary operation (or partially unknown single-qutrit unitary operation) can be remotely implemented by the dealer at any one of the locations of all the agents in such way that the unknown quantum state after being acted on by this quantum operation can be probabilistically reconstructed through introducing an auxiliary qubit and performing appropriate local operations provided that two agents collaborate together. Subsequently, the above two schemes are generalized from 2 agents to the scenario of [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]) agents. In addition, through our analysis, we have found that in both single-qubit and single-qutrit QOS schemes, the probability of successful recovery of the target state by the receiver after the quantum operation is solely determined by the smaller of the absolute values of the coefficients that characterize the quantum channel. This proves that, under the same amplitude damping strength, the conclusive multiparty single-qutrit QOS has a higher success probability than the single-qubit QOS.

Protection of entanglement in two independently decohering qubits via local prior and post parity-time symmetry operations

Wenjuan Li, Yang Leng

Abstract Protection of entanglement of two qubits undergoing two independent amplitude damping channels using a local parity-time ( PT ) symmetric operation is exactly studied. First, the explicit expressions of concurrence quantifying the entanglement of two qubits with both local PT symmetric operation and two amplitude damping channels are obtained. Then, we give two schemes, i.e. prior and post PT symmetric operations, to show the performance of PT symmetric operation on entanglement dynamics of two qubits. By investigation, we find that the effect of prior PT symmetric operation schemes on the protection of entanglement of two qubits in the double channel case is superior to that of the single channel case. Conversely, the effect of post PT symmetric operation scheme on the protection of entanglement of two qubits in the single channel case is better than that in the double channel case. In other words, the local PT symmetric operation approach may have potential applications in combating amplitude damping decoherence.

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.

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.
