Abstract

We analyzed the effect of colored noise on the negativity dynamics of a hybrid system consisting of a qubit–qutrit and not interacting, prepared from the start in an entangled one-parameter state and acting with noise in local and non-local environments. In this pink and brown noise we investigated two different situations: in the first situation, the noise is produced by a bistable oscillator with an unknown exchange rate; however, in the second situation, the noise is generated by a set of bistable oscillators. We found that entanglement decreases with time to zero, and undergoes the phenomenon of sudden death and rebirth. The pink noise is more prone to entanglement than the brown noise and the non-local environment is more prone to entanglement than the local one. When the number of fluctuators is increased, entanglement decays faster and finally, for certain parameters of the initial state, the subsystems are not affected by the noise.

Dynamics of quantum correlations in colored-noise environments

We address the dynamics of entanglement and quantum discord for two noninteracting qubits initially prepared in a maximally entangled state and then subjected to a classical colored noise, i.e., coupled with an external environment characterized by a noise spectrum of the form $1/{f}^{\ensuremath{\alpha}}$. More specifically, we address systems in which the Gaussian approximation fails, i.e., mere knowledge of the spectrum is not enough to determine the dynamics of quantum correlations. We thus investigate the dynamics for two different configurations of the environment: in the first case, the noise spectrum is due to the interaction of each qubit with a single bistable fluctuator with an undetermined switching rate, whereas in the second case we consider a collection of classical fluctuators with fixed switching rates. In both cases, we found analytical expressions for the time dependence of entanglement and quantum discord, which may also be extended to a collection of fluctuators with random switching rates. The environmental noise is introduced by means of stochastic time-dependent terms in the Hamiltonian, and this allows us to describe the effects of both separate and common environments. We show that the non-Gaussian character of the noise may lead to significant effects, e.g., environments with the same power spectrum, but different configurations give rise to the opposite behavior for quantum correlations. In particular, depending on the characteristics of the environmental noise considered, both entanglement and discord display either a monotonic decay or the phenomena of sudden death and revivals. Our results show that the microscopic structure of the environment, in addition to its noise spectrum, is relevant for the dynamics of quantum correlations and may be a valid starting point for the engineering of non-Gaussian colored environments.

Dynamics of Entanglement for a Two-Parameter Class of States in a Qubit-Qutrit System

Hai-Rui Wei, Bao-Cang Ren, Tao Li +2 more

We investigate the dynamics of entanglement for a two-parameter class of states in a hybrid qubit-qutrit system under the influence of various dissipative channels. Our results show that entanglement sudden death (ESD) is a general phenomenon and it usually takes place in a qubit-qutrit system interacting with various noisy channels, not only the case with dephasing and depolarizing channels observed by others. ESD can only be avoided for some initially entangled states under some particular noisy channels. Moreover, the environment affects the entanglement and the coherence of the system in very different ways.

Classification of classical non-Gaussian noises with respect to their detrimental effects on the evolution of entanglement using a system of three-qubit as probe

Lionel Tenemeza Kenfack, Martin, Tchoffo, Lukong Cornelius Fai

We use a system of three non-interacting qubits as a quantum probe to classify three classical non-Gaussian noises (namely the static, colored (pink and brown) and random telegraph noise), according to their detrimental effects on the evolution of entanglement of the latter. The probe system is initially prepared in the GHZ state and coupled to the noises in independent environments. Seven configurations for the qubit-noise coupling (QNC) are considered. To estimate the destructive influence of each kind of noise, we employ the tripartite negativity to compare the evolution of entanglement in these QNC configurations to each other with the same noise parameters. The results show that the evolution of entanglement is drastically impacted by the QNC configuration considered as well as the properties of the environmental noises and that the SN is more detrimental to the survival of entanglement than the RTN and CN, regardless of the Markov or non-Markov character of the RTN and the color of the CN. We also observed that pink noise is more fatal to the system than the RTN and that the situation is totally reversed in the case of brown noise. Finally, we show that these noises, in descending order of destructive influence, can be classified as follows: SN>pink noise>RTN>brown noise.

Effect of flipping noise on the entanglement dynamics of a 3x3 system

Muhammad Asif Ramzan

Entanglement dynamics of a qutrit-qutrit system under the influence of global, local and multilocal decoherence introduced by phase flip, trit flip and trit phase flip channels is investigated. The negativity and realignment criterion are used to quantify the entanglement of the system. It is shown that the entanglement sudden death and distibility sudden death can be avoided in the presence of phase flip, trit flip and trit-phase flip environments. It is shown that certain free entangled distillable qutrit states become bound entangled or separable i.e. convert into non-distillable states under different flipping noises. It is also seen that local operations do not have any effect on the entanglement dynamics of the system. Further more, no ESD and DSD is seen for the case of trit flip channel.

Quantumness of hybrid systems under quantum noise

M. Abdellaoui, N. -E. Abouelkhir, A. Slaoui +2 more

We investigate the quantum correlations in an axially symmetric hybrid qubit-qutrit system subjected to different noisy environments. We first introduce a physical model and analyze its Hamiltonian structure, emphasizing the role of hybrid dimensionality and axial symmetry. The effects of decoherence are then examined under two local noise mechanisms, namely dephasing and phase-flip channels, acting on the qubit and qutrit subsystems in both symmetric and asymmetric configurations. Quantum correlations are quantified using negativity to capture entanglement and quantum discord based on linear entropy to characterize more general nonclassical correlations. Our results show that both thermal fluctuations and phase noise lead to a monotonic degradation of quantum correlations, with increasing temperature accelerating coherence loss and inducing entanglement sudden death at finite temperatures. While negativity vanishes abruptly under sufficiently strong noise, quantum discord persists beyond the entanglement threshold, revealing residual quantum correlations in mixed states. We further demonstrate that asymmetric noise configurations significantly enhance the robustness of both entanglement and discord by partially shielding coherence in the less affected subsystem. A comparative analysis reveals that phase-flip noise is more destructive than pure dephasing, leading to faster suppression of quantum correlations.

Effect of random telegraph noise on entanglement and nonlocality of a qubit-qutrit system

Hakimeh Jaghouri, Samira Nazifkar

We study the evolution of entanglement and nonlocality of a non-interacting qubit-qutrit system under the effect of random telegraph noise (RTN) in independent and common environments in Markovian and non-Markovian regimes. We investigate the dynamics of qubit-qutrit system for different initial states. These systems could be existed in far astronomical objects. A monotone decay of the nonlocality (entanglement) is found in the Markov regime, while for non-Markovian noise, phenomena of sudden change (death) and revival occurs. We find that the preserving nonlocality (entanglement) depends on initial state of the system in common and independent environments; so, we can not strictly conclude that independent or common environments are more robust against the noise.
