Abstract

The present research is designed to examine the dynamic of the quantum computational speed in a nanowire system through the orthogonality speed when three distinct types of magnetic fields are applied: the strong magnetic field, the weak magnetic field, and no magnetic field. Moreover, we investigate the action of the magnetic fields, the spin-orbit coupling, and the system's initial states on the orthogonality speed. The observed results reveal that a substantial correlation between the intensity of the spin-orbit coupling and the dynamics of the orthogonality speed, where the orthogonality speed decreasing as the spin-orbit coupling increases. Furthermore, the initial states of the nanowire system are critical for regulating the speed of transmuting the information and computations.

Fractional Dynamics of Information Entropy in Quantum Wire System Under Rashba Interaction

Rabie I. Mohamed, Ramy M. Hafez, Atef F. Hashem +1 more

We present a theoretical examination of the fractional dynamics of information entropy within a semiconductor nanowire system influenced by Rashba spin–orbit interaction and external magnetic fields. Moreover, we determine the fractional nanowire state through the analytical solution of the fractional Schrödinger equation, considering various initial states of the nanowire system. Our research emphasizes the impact of the fractional order and the interaction parameters on the behavior of information entropy. Our findings reveal that the temporal behavior of information entropy is highly sensitive to any variations in the magnetic field length, the Rashba spin–orbit interaction, and the fractional order parameter. The results demonstrate that these parameters are pivotal in determining the coherence and correlation properties of the nanowire system. Therefore, precise control of these factors paves the way for enhancing entanglement performance and facilitating information transfer in spintronic and quantum communication applications.

Squeezing dynamics of a nanowire system with spin-orbit interaction

Rabie I. Mohamed, Ahmed Farouk, Ali H. Homid +4 more

We analyze the dynamics of squeezing in a ballistic quantum wire with Rashba spin-orbit interaction in the presence of both strong and weak magnetic fields and for different initial states of the system. Compared to the more standard measure of squeezing based on variances, we show that entropy squeezing is a more sensitive measure. Our results show that there is a strong relationship between the spin-orbit interaction and the strength of entropy squeezing. Furthermore, there is a relationship between the initial state and the number of squeezed components. This allows new knobs to control the strength and the component of entropy squeezing in a nanowire system.

Quantum-classical dynamics of Rashba spin-orbit coupling

Paul Bergold, Giovanni Manfredi, Cesare Tronci

Mixed quantum-classical models are widely used to reduce the computational cost of fully quantum simulations. However, their general applicability across different classes of problems remains an open question. Here, we address this issue for systems featuring spin-orbit coupling. In particular, we study the interaction dynamics of quantum spin-1/2 and classical orbital momentum in one-dimensional models of Rashba nanowires. We tackle this problem by resorting to a new quantum-classical Hamiltonian model that, unlike conventional approaches, retains the Heisenberg principle and captures correlation effects beyond the common Ehrenfest method. Based on Koopman wavefunctions in classical mechanics, the new model was recently implemented numerically via a particle scheme -- the koopmon method -- which is extended here to treat spin-orbit coupling. We apply the koopmon method to study the quantum-classical dynamics of nanowire models, with and without the presence of a harmonic potential and in both Rashba-dominated (strong coupling) and Zeeman-dominated (weak coupling) regimes. Considering realistic semiconductor parameters, the results are contrasted with both fully quantum and quantum-classical Ehrenfest dynamics. In the absence of external potential, the koopmon method qualitatively reproduces the features of the fully quantum evolution for all coupling regimes. While it exhibits a slight loss in spin accuracy compared to Ehrenfest simulations, the latter fail to capture the orbital dynamics. In the presence of a harmonic potential, the koopmon scheme reproduces several features of full quantum dynamics with accuracy levels that are unachievable by the Ehrenfest model. We conclude by presenting a test case that exhibits the formation of cat-like states.

Fractional Rashba-induced quantum correlations and their role in achieving steerability in nanowires

Rabie I. Mohamed, Mahmoud Youssef Abd‐Rabbou, NASSER METWALLY

Abstract The dynamics of quantum correlations, steerability, and the coherence of the evolution of a fractional nanowire state are analyzed for a system comprising two electrons interacting with an orbital-spin system through Rashba interaction. The results reveal that the initial state configuration and fractional order act as effective control parameters for enhancing these physical quantities. Preparing the electronic system in an entangled state and the orbital system in an excited state ensures sustained quantum correlations during time evolution. For small fractional order values, the upper bounds of steerability are increased, although the time for steering to decay is shortened. The influence of magnetic field strength, spin–orbit coupling, and confinement potential parameters on improving these measures depends on whether the orbital system is initially prepared in an excited state or a vacuum state.

Transparent qubit manipulations with spin-orbit coupled two-electron nanowire quantum dot

Kuo Hai, Yifan Wang, Qiong Chen +1 more

We report on the first set of exact orthonormalized states to an ac driven one-dimensional (1D) two-electron nanowire quantum dot with the Rashba-Dresselhaus coexisted spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and the controlled magnetic field orientation and trapping frequency. In the ground state case, it is shown that the spatiotemporal evolutions of probability densities occupying internal spin states and the transfer rates between different spin states can be adjusted by the ac electric field and the intensities of SOC and magnetic field. Effects of the system parameters and initial-state-dependent constants on the mean entanglement are revealed, where the approximately maximal entanglement associated with the stronger SOC and its insensitivity to the initial and parametric perturbations are demonstrated numerically. A novel resonance transition mechanism is found, in which the ladder-like time-evolution process of expected energy and the transition time between two arbitrary exact states are controlled by the ac field strength. Using such maximally entangled exact states to encode qubits can render the qubit control more transparent and robust. The results could be extended to 2D case and to an array of two-electron quantum dots with weak neighboring coupling for quantum information processing.

Rashba-controlled two-electron spin-charge qubits as building blocks of a quantum computer

Ambrož Kregar, A. Ramšak

The spin-sensitive charge oscillation, controlled by an external magnetic field, was recently proposed as a mechanism of transformations of qubits, defined as two-electron spin-charge Wannier molecules in a square quantum dot.1 The paper expands this idea by including the effects of Rashba-type spin-orbit coupling. The problem is studied theoretically by mapping the system to an analytic effective Hamiltonian for 8 low-energy states, comprising singlet and triplet on each dot diagonal. The validity of mapping is confirmed by comparing the energy and spin of full and mapped system, and also by the reproduction of charge-oscillation dynamics in the presence of magnetic flux. The newly introduced Rashba coupling significantly enriches the system dynamics, affecting the magnitude of charge oscillations and allowing the controlled transitions between singlet and triplet states due to the spin rotations, induced by spin-orbit coupling. The results indicate the possibility for use of the studied system for quantum information processing, while possible extensions of the system to serve as a qubit in a universal quantum computer, fulfilling all five Di Vincenzo criteria, is also discussed.
