Abstract

We study the temporal evolution of quantum coherence and parameter estimation for two-mode coherent-state superposition by using the master equation. Analytic expressions are provided and numerically displayed, which can illustrate the reliance of the coherence and Fisher information during the dynamics. Generally, we find that the amount of the quantum measures has the same behavior during the time variation, and displays a different order that depends on the different strength regimes of the input radiation fields and then disappears at infinite times. We show that these measures start from maximal value at the initial instant and decrease the time goes on. Moreover, we can observe that these measures can be protected resisted from the environment effect during the dynamics, showing an important feature of coherence and Fisher information. The obtained results can be assumed more practical in the characterization of the behavior of the coherence and Fisher information under the effect of the environment. Our observations can provide significant implications in harnessing these phenomena in quantum optics and information.

Discontinuity and Protection of Quantum Fisher Information for a Two-Qubit System*

Guoyou Wang, Ji-Bing Yuan, Hao‐Sheng Zeng

Abstract We analytically investigate the dynamics of quantum Fisher information of two qubits in independent environments for both uncorrelated and entangled input states. Especially, we observe that, in the non-Markovian regime and resonant case, quantum Fisher information of uncorrelated input state vanishes only at discrete time point whereas that of entangled input state can disappear during finite time interval. It shows that quantum Fisher information, which determines the parameter estimation precision, is strongly affected by the environment memory effects, and the advantage of entanglement-enhance metrology no longer exists even for a very short time. We also note that quantum Fisher information for two kinds of input states can be preserved under appropriate qubit-reservoir detuning.

Dynamics of quantum Fisher information and quantum coherence of two interacting atoms under time–fractional analysis

K. El Anouz, Chibueze Paul Onyenegecha, Alexander Iheanyichukwu Opara +2 more

In this paper, we give an exact general solution to the fractional Schrödinger equation of two interacting atoms. It consists of using the Riemann–Liouville fractional integral operator to examine the interaction between two identical atoms under temporal–fractional evolution. The dynamics of quantum Fisher information with respect to changes in the phase parameter and the quantum coherence by means of the l 1 -norm and relative entropy of coherence are discussed. Moreover, the analytical fractional solution allows us to evaluate the relationship between the estimation precision of the phase parameter and the coherence measures for various atom–atom states. Indeed, the obtained results show a good similarity between these measures for certain critical values of the phase parameter. In addition, it is observed that initially, for such coherent-like fractional states, the amount of quantum Fisher information may be sensitive or insensitive to changes in the phase parameter. Therefore, one can conclude that quantum Fisher information can be considered as an indicator of quantum coherence in a composite quantum state.

Dynamics of quantum Fisher information from a time-local non-Markovian master equation with decoherence rates and operators depending on the estimated parameter

Mihaela Vatasescu

We analyze the dynamics of the quantum Fisher information (QFI) in the case of a two-dimensional open quantum system obeying a time-local non-Markovian master equation in the canonical form, characterized by canonical decoherence rates and operators that depend on the parameter to be estimated. This last condition brings a framework in which the information about the parameter is structurally encoded not only in the open system, but also in the system-environment interaction or/and correlations, and in some environment properties. We derive analytical formulas for the decompositions of the QFI flow and of the purity dynamics in terms associated to the canonical decoherence rates. In contrast to the results presented in X.-M. Lu et al. [Phys. Rev. A 82, 042103 (2010)], we show that, in this extended framework, the QFI flow contains not only the subflows corresponding to the decoherence rates, but also supplementary terms which originate in the state dependence on the estimated parameter; moreover, the signs of the QFI subflows associated to the decoherence rates are not correlated to the signs of the rates. We show that a pertinent connection between the QFI flow and non-Markovianity can be realized using the canonical measures defined from the negative canonical decoherence rates. We employ this theoretical framework to explore the QFI flow and its subflows in two cases of quantum evolutions directed by master equations with decoherence rates or/and operators depending on the estimated parameter: (i) the Markovian nonunital time evolution of a qubit under the generalized amplitude damping channel; (ii) the non-Markovian time evolution of a two-dimensional electronic subsystem entangled with its vibrational environment in a molecule.

Optimal quantum parameter estimation of two interacting qubits under decoherence

Qiang Zheng, Yao Yao, Yong Li

We investigate the parameter estimation problem in a two-qubit system, in which each qubit is independently interacting with its Markovian environment. We study in detail the sensitivity of the estimation on the decoherence rate $γ$ and the two-qubit interaction strength $v$. In particular, the dynamics of quantum Fisher information are employed as a measure to quantify the precision of the estimations. We find that the quantum Fisher information with respect to the decoherence rate scales like $t^2/[\exp(γt)-1]$ and $\exp(-2γt)$ in the unitary limit and the completely decoherent limit, respectively. When we estimate the interaction strength $v$, the quantum Fisher information shows oscillation behavior in term of time. In addition, our results provide further evidence that the entanglement of the input state may not enhance quantum metrology.

Characteristics of the temporal behavior of quantum Fisher information and entanglement between radiation field and two atoms under atomic motion effect

Eman M. A. Hilal, Sadah Abdullah Alkhateeb, Eied Mahmoud Khalil +3 more

The influence of time dependence on the model which consists of two qubits interacting with a two-mode electromagnetic field of the parametric amplifier type is investigated. The analytical solution of the wave function is obtained. The quantum Fisher information, entanglement and population inversion for a time-dependent system are analyzed. The photon statistics of a single-mode are quantified by the evolution of the Mandel parameter. Our results showed that there exists a positive relationship between the time-dependent parameter and entanglement. In other words, the time-dependent parameter due to the degree of entanglement is increased. Also, the quantum quantifier is strongly affected by the time-dependent coupling parameter in the absence and presence of the detuning parameter. This enables new parameters to control the degree of entanglement and quantum Fisher information, especially in quantum communication.

High precision regions of phase sensitivity for the superposition of coherent fields

K. Berrada

We investigate the problem of parameter estimation for the superposition of coherent fields under perfect and lossy regimes. We show the optimal range for higher precision of phase estimation by exactly solving a model consisting of a Schrödinger-cat state (SCS) subject to zero-temperature under a decoherence effect due to a dissipative interaction with an environment. We find the phenomenon that the quantum Fisher information (QFI), namely, the precision of estimation, is slowly reduced with the environment effect and affected by the photon number effects. We find that revivals and retardation of the QFI loss may occur by adjusting the mean photon number, and increasing the photons strongly enhances the coherence and hence augments the resolution of the parameter estimation. Due to the significance of how a system is quantum correlated with its environment in the construction of a scalable quantum computer, the entanglement between the coherent field and its environment is investigated during the dissipation. We show that partial entanglement trapping occurs during the dynamics depending on the mean photon number. These features make the SCS with a larger average number of photons a good candidate for implementation of schemes of quantum optics and information with high precision.

We investigate the parameter estimation problem in a two-qubit system, in which each qubit is independently interacting with its Markovian environment. We study in detail the sensitivity of the estimation on the decoherence rate γγγ and the two-qubit interaction strength vvv. In particular, the dynamics of quantum Fisher information are employed as a measure to quantify the precision of the estimations. We find that the quantum Fisher information with respect to the decoherence rate scales like t2/[exp⁡(γt)−1]t^2/[\exp(γt)-1]t2/[exp(γt)−1] and exp⁡(−2γt)\exp(-2γt)exp(−2γt) in the unitary limit and the completely decoherent limit, respectively. When we estimate the interaction strength vvv, the quantum Fisher information shows oscillation behavior in term of time.
