Nonlocal advantage of quantum coherence and entanglement of two spins under intrinsic decoherence*

Abstract

We investigate the nonlocal advantage of quantum coherence (NAQC) and entanglement for two spins coupled via the Heisenberg interaction and under the intrinsic decoherence. Solutions of this decoherence model for the initial spin-1/2 and spin-1 maximally entangled states are obtained, based on which we calculate the NAQC and entanglement. In the weak region of magnetic field, the NAQC behaves as a damped oscillation with the time evolves, while the entanglement decays exponentially (behaves as a damped oscillation) for the spin-1/2 (spin-1) case. Moreover, the decay of both the NAQC and entanglement can be suppressed significantly by tuning the magnetic field and anisotropy of the spin interaction to some decoherence-rate-determined optimal values.

Nonlocal advantage of quantum coherence in the Heisenberg XY model

Yu-Xia Xie, Yun-Yue Gao

Abstract Quantum correlations in a state can be quantified from different aspects. The nonlocal advantage of quantum coherence (NAQC) captures quantum correlation stronger than entanglement and Bell nonlocality. We investigate the NAQC-type quantum correlation in the Heisenberg XY model and showed that both the anisotropy of the interaction between two spins and the external transverse magnetic field can serve as efficient parameters for tuning the NAQC-type quantum correlation. In particular, for the relative low temperature case there is a finite parameter region in which the strength of the NAQC-type quantum correlation is of about its maximum 1. We also found there are quantum states for which the NAQC-type quantum correlations defined by the l 1 norm of coherence and the relative entropy of coherence have a different ordering.

Nonlocal advantage of quantum coherence of coupled qubits in thermal and dephasing reservoirs

Yu-Xia Xie

Abstract We investigate the nonlocal advantage of quantum coherence (NAQC) for two qubits coupled via the Heisenberg interaction and embedded in their respective thermal and dephasing reservoirs. Unlike the case of two uncoupled qubits, we showed that in the presence of the Heisenberg interaction, the decay rate of the NAQC can be reduced and the strength of the NAQC can be enhanced for certain initial states. Moreover, the Heisenberg interaction of two spins can induce generation of NAQC from the initial product states, and the generated NAQC approaches asymptotically to its maximum with the increasing anisotropy of the Heisenberg interaction.

Nonlocal advantage of quantum coherence in the spin-1/2 and spin-1 Heisenberg XXZ models

Yu-Xia Xie, Yuhan Zhang

Abstract Quantum coherence underlies different forms of quantum correlations. We investigate the nonlocal advantage of quantum coherence (NAQC) for the thermal equilibrium states of both the spin-1/2 and the spin-1 Heisenberg XXZ models. By considering the NAQC formulated within two slightly different frameworks, we showed that their values can always be enhanced by tuning strength of the spin-exchange interaction along the z direction. The maximum achievable NAQC by tuning decreases with the increasing temperature T and there will be no NAQC when T is higher than a critical value. Moreover, both the NAQC and the critical temperature could be further noticeably increased by introducing the Dzyaloshinsky–Moriya interaction along either the z direction or the x direction to the considered spin models.

Impurity-assisted control of the nonlocal advantage of quantum coherence in the Heisenberg model

Yu-Xia Xie, Yun-Yue Gao

Abstract Quantum coherence is not only a fundamental notion in quantum theory but also an invaluable resource for quantum information processing. We investigate the nonlocal advantage of quantum coherence (NAQC) in the Heisenberg model, aimed at seeking flexible ways for its control. By considering impurities, or more explicitly, the inhomogeneous spin couplings and nonuniform magnetic field, in such a model, we showed that an efficient nonlocal control of the NAQC can be realized, and there exists a wide impurity parameter region for which the NAQC takes the value a little less than its maximum 1. Moreover, the critical temperature after which the NAQC vanishes can also be enhanced evidently by tuning the impurity parameters.

Quantum correlations and coherence in a mixed spin- ( 1 2 , 1 ) Heisenberg dimer under intrinsic decoherence

Mansoura Oumennana, Mostafa Mansour

Abstract This research delves into the dynamical behavior of quantum correlations and coherence within a mixed Heisenberg dimer system under the intrinsic decoherence. Our approach involves the application of logarithmic negativity, local quantum uncertainty, and the ℓ 1 norm-based coherence as quantifiers for entanglement, skew information correlations, and quantum coherence in this qubit-qutrit model. Our primary objective is to explore the impact of various factors on the dynamics of quantum correlations and quantum coherence. These factors encompass the initial density matrix and its mixing parameter, the intrinsic decoherence rate (γ), the external magnetic field, as well as intrinsic system parameters, notably the XXZ and uniaxial single-ion anisotropies. Our results demonstrate that the introduction of intrinsic decoherence (ID) significantly erodes quantum resources. Particularly, for high values of the ID rate (γ), excessive damping occurs, leading to the absence of oscillations or a rapid decay of quantum resources, ultimately stabilizing in steady states. Furthermore, the presence of an external homogeneous magnetic field further diminishes quantum resources within the system. However, despite the degradation induced by the combined influence of intrinsic decoherence and high external magnetic field intensities, the judicious selection of the initial density matrix and precise adjustment of the uniaxial single-ion anisotropy enable the preservation of quantum resources within the mixed spin-(1/2, 1) Heisenberg dimer.

Exploring the nonlocal advantage of quantum coherence and Bell nonlocality in the Heisenberg XYZ chain

Huan Yang, Ling-Ling Xing

Abstract The non-local advantage of quantum coherence (NAQC) is regarded as a quantum correlation, which can be reflected by the violation of a set of inequalities based on various coherence measures. In this work, we explore the NAQC and Bell nonlocality (BN) in a two-qubit Heisenberg XYZ model. The results show that one can capture the BN in the case of both anti-ferromagnetism and ferromagnetism. By contrast, the NAQC cannot be achieved in the ferromagnetism case if the magnetic field is strong. Increases of inhomogeneity and temperature give rise to reductions of the NAQC and BN, and the achievement of the NAQC at high inhomogeneity or temperatures becomes very difficult. Also, the NAQC and BN strengthen with an increase of the mean coupling coefficient. A strong mean coupling coefficient leads to the freezing of the NAQC and BN when the inhomogeneity is low. The enhancement of the magnetic field can result in the fact that the NAQC and BN experience four processes, including reduction, sudden death, revival, and reduction. Additionally, the BN is easier to capture than the NAQC. Furthermore, we focus our attention on controlling the NAQC and BN via a local filtering operation. The results demonstrate that the operation can effectively strengthen the NAQC and BN, and can also help us to control the NAQC and BN in the Heisenberg XYZ chain.
