Abstract

Abstract Correlations in the open quantum systems exhibit a rich phenomenology in various decoherent environments. We theoretically study the dynamics of quantum and classical correlations in a two-qubit system, where each qubit is locally subjected to the relevant squeezed vacuum bath through the non-demolition interaction. Specifically, we unveil the effects of the squeezing phase of the bath and squeezing strength on the intriguing phenomena of freezing discord and sudden transition between classical and quantum decoherence. Remarkably, we show that by proper tuning the squeezing phase one can significantly delay the sudden transition time t ′ . Interestingly, we found that the maximum delay in t ′ may obtain when the phase difference between the squeezing phase and the phase of the coupling strength is π /2. Consequently, an increase in the t ′ leads to the enhancement of time-interval during which quantum discord does not affect by environmental noise. On the other hand, we show that squeezing strength plays a negative role in enhancing sudden transition time and preserving quantum discord. Furthermore, we also show that squeezed bath allows the existence of the time-invariant discord for a broader range of Ohmicity parameter s and initial condition ε . Strikingly our study renders new insights to control and sustain quantum correlations against the detrimental effects of decoherence beyond the conventional protocols.

Effects of reservoir squeezing on the amplification of quantum correlation

Zhaorui Peng, Lucas C. Céleri, Abdul Basit +1 more

The dynamics of quantum discord is studied in a system of two identical noninteracting qubits coupled to a common squeezed vacuum bath through non-demolition interactions. We concern on how reservoir squeezing influences the dynamical behaviors of quantum discord when both qubits are initially prepared in $X$-type states. We find that the critical time exhibits the sudden change of quantum discord, which is of great significance for the quantum discord amplification. Furthermore, depending on the initial parameters of the system, we numerically calculate the interval when the critical time is finite or infinite. For the finite critical time, we show that the squeezing phase of the bath can prolong the critical time while the squeezing strength exhibits the opposite effect. For infinite critical time, even if there is no sudden transition point, reservoir squeezing still has an effect on the amplification of quantum discord, and the time to reach steady-state quantum discord can be changed by adjusting the squeezing parameters. Fianlly, we investigate the quantum speed limit time for a two-qubit system under squeezed reservoir, and find that the quantum speed limit time can be reduced via the adjustment of the squeezing parameters and the initial parameters. Remarkably, in the short time limit, reservoir squeezing has an obvious influence on the degree of amplification of quantum discord. Our study presents a promising approach to controlling the amplification of quantum correlation.

Controlling sudden transition from classical to quantum decoherence via non-equilibrium environments

Abdul Basit, Hamad Ali, Fazal Badshah +2 more

Abstract We investigate the freezing and sudden transition in the dynamical behavior of quantum and classical correlations in a system composed of two identical non-interacting qubits locally subjected to their own non-equilibrium environments. In contrast to the equilibrium case, one can observe striking results when a bipartite quantum system couples with the non-equilibrium dephasing environment with non-stationary and non-Markovian features. Remarkably, the finite time interval in which the quantum correlation remains impervious to decoherence can be further prolonged as the environment deviates from equilibrium. This reveals that the non-equilibrium parameter provides an alternative tool to efficiently control the appearance of a sudden transition in the decay rates of correlations and their immunity towards the decoherence. Furthermore, for certain initial states, the appearance of another time-interval over which quantum correlation remains constant and the revival of classical correlation not only depends on the non-Markovianity but also on the non-equilibrium parameter.

Effects of reservoir squeezing on trace-distance correlations and emergence of the pointer basis

Abdul Basit, Hamad Ali, Fuli Li +1 more

We investigate theoretically the dynamics of 1-norm geometric quantum correlations and their classical counterparts in a two-qubit system. Both qubits are initially prepared in Bell-diagonal states and locally coupled to separated thermal squeezed baths or a common squeezed thermal bath via energy-preserving interactions. We then unveil the effects of reservoir squeezing on the abrupt changes in the evolution of geometric correlations. It is found that adequately tuning the squeezing phase can efficiently suppress the dephasing rate and delay the appearance of sudden transitions in geometric correlations. Further, we show that the squeezing phase of the bath renders a different avenue to enhance the finite time interval for frozen quantum correlation. On the other hand, in this context, we show that the squeezing strength of the reservoir exhibits a negative role. In addition, in the common bath case, we observe the steady-state correlations and decoherence-free subspace, which can be governed via squeezing parameters. Moreover, the abrupt change from a decaying regime to a constant nonzero value in classical correlation signals the emergence of a pointer-state basis. We show that the emergence of a pointer-state basis can be delayed by suitably adjusting the bath squeezing parameters. Remarkably, we find the optimal value of the squeezing phase, which introduces maximum retardation in the appearance of a pointer-state basis.

Effects of reservoir squeezing on the amplification of quantum correlation and the quantum speed limit

Zhaorui Peng, Lucas C. Céleri, Abdul Basit +1 more

We examine the behavior of quantum discord in a scenario where two identical noninteracting qubits interact with a shared squeezed environment at zero temperature. Our focus lies on how the squeezing of the reservoir impacts the evolution of quantum discord when both qubits are initially in $X$-type states. We observe that there exists a critical time ${t}_{c}$ at which quantum discord undergoes a sudden change, a phenomenon crucial for quantum discord amplification. Furthermore, through numerical analysis, we determine the range of parameters where ${t}_{c}$ is finite or infinite. In cases where ${t}_{c}$ is finite, we demonstrate that increasing the squeezing phase of the bath can extend ${t}_{c}$, while increasing the squeezing strength has the opposite effect. Even in situations where ${t}_{c}$ is infinite and there is no sudden changes in the correlations, reservoir squeezing still influences quantum discord amplification, allowing adjustment of squeezing parameters to alter the time taken to reach steady-state quantum discord. Furthermore, in the short-time regime, reservoir squeezing significantly impacts the degree of quantum discord amplification. Notably, we explore the quantum speed limit time for a two-qubit system under a squeezed reservoir, finding that it can be decreased by adjusting both squeezing and the initial parameters. Our investigation offers a promising avenue for controlling quantum correlation amplification and the quantum speed limit.

Pulse control of sudden transition for two qubits in XY spin baths and quantum phase transition

Da-Wei Luo, Hai‐Qing Lin, Jing‐Bo Xu +1 more

We study the dynamics of two initially correlated qubits coupled to their own separate spin baths modeled by an $XY$ spin chain and find the explicit expression of the quantum discord for the system. A sudden transition is found to exist between classical and quantum decoherence by choosing certain initial states. We show that the sudden transition happens near the critical point, which provides an alternative way to characterize the quantum phase transition. Furthermore, we propose a scheme to prolong the transition time of the quantum discord by applying the bang-bang pulses.

EFFECTS OF CLASSICAL ENVIRONMENTAL NOISE ON ENTANGLEMENT AND QUANTUM DISCORD DYNAMICS

Claudia Benedetti, Fabrizio Buscemi, Paolo Bordone +1 more

We address the effect of classical noise on the dynamics of quantum correlations, entanglement and quantum discord (QD), of two non-interacting qubits initially prepared in a Bell state. The effect of noise is modeled by randomizing the single-qubit transition amplitudes. We address both static and dynamic environmental noise corresponding to interaction with separate and common baths in either Markovian and non-Markovian regimes. In the Markov regime, a monotone decay of the quantum correlations is found, whereas for non-Markovian noise sudden death and revival phenomena may occur, depending on the characteristics of the noise. Entanglement and QD show the same qualitative behavior for all kind of noises considered. On the other hand, we find that separate and common environments may play opposite roles in preserving quantum correlations, depending on the noise regime considered.
