Abstract

This investigation delves into the dynamics of quantum correlations and coherence within a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) system, taking into account the influence of Rashba spin–orbit coupling (SOC). We utilize metrics such as logarithmic negativity ([Formula: see text]), local quantum uncertainty (LQU ([Formula: see text])), and relative entropy of coherence ([Formula: see text]) to specifically assess these quantum resources among electron spins within non-interacting electron gases. Our study investigates how the separation distance (R) between electrons and the intensity of Rashba SOC ([Formula: see text]), impact the behavior of quantum properties within the 2DEG system. We find that specific strengths of Rashba SOC can effectively regulate quantum correlations and coherence within this system. Particularly significant is our observation that optimal quantum indicators emerge when electron proximity is minimized, underscoring the substantial influence of electron distance on quantum characteristics. Conversely, as electron separation increases, these quantum metrics diminish. Therefore, by adjusting the Rashba parameter, we can enhance the resilience of these quantum measurements against increasing electron separations, providing valuable insights into the potential for controlling and manipulating quantum behavior in similar 2DEG systems.

Quantum Steering and Nonlocal Correlations Between Non-Interacting Delocalized Electrons Under Rashba Spin-Orbit Interaction

Zakaria Bouafia, Mostafa Mansour

We investigate quantum steering and nonlocal correlations between two electrons in a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) as functions of Rashba spin-orbit interaction (RSOI) strength and inter-electron separation. We focus particularly on the Bi/Ag(111) system characterized by its strong RSOI ($α_0 = 3.05\times10^{-11}$ eV~m), and we explore the influence of tuning intensity of RSOI and inter-electron distance on the dynamics of Bell nonlocality, uncertainty-induced nonlocality and steering. We find that, although increasing $α_R$ initially suppresses quantum correlations, all three metrics exhibit a non-monotonic recovery as functions of $α_R$, peaking near an optimal coupling strength $α_R = 4.32\times10^{-11}$~eV~m across the range of inter-electron separations considered. This finding establishes RSOI as a critical control parameter for stabilizing quantum properties in two-dimensional electron gases against the decay of quantum correlations with inter-electron separation, and shows that the suppression and recovery of quantum resources within the Bi/Ag(111) system can be controlled by adjusting the inter-electron distance and carefully tuning the RSOI strength.

Dynamics of Two-Qubit Correlations in a Double Quantum Dot System Supported by Spin–Spin Interactions Under Intrinsic Decoherence

Abdel‐Baset A. Mohamed, Heba Allhibi, S. S. Alharbi

This study investigates the dynamics of two-qubit correlations in a double quantum dot (QD) containing an electron and two charge-spin configurations under the influence of Rashba interaction, the Dzyaloshinsky–Moriya interaction, and an external magnetic field. The dynamics of two-qubit correlations, particularly those of local quantum Fisher information (LQFI) and local quantum uncertainty (LQU), are compared with those of log negativity. The correlation dynamics are analysed under the effects of Dzyaloshinsky–Moriya interaction, Rashba spin–orbit coupling, electron tunnelling strength, Zeeman spin-splitting coupling, and intrinsic decoherence. Importantly, in the absence of intrinsic electron QD qubit decoherence, it is found that weak couplings within the electron QD qubit system have a high capacity to create equal LQFI and LQU two-qubit correlations, as well as log-negativity entanglement. Furthermore, it is found that an increase in Zeeman spin splitting and the tunnelling effect of two electrons decreases the ability of the other couplings, DM spin–orbit and Rashba spin–orbit interactions, to generate Wigner–Yanase–Fisher correlation and entanglement, and the opposite is also true. The generation of electron-QD qubit correlations exhibits decaying oscillatory dynamics, especially when decoherence is considered. Additionally, the LQFI and LQU display different correlations, and the sudden death and birth phenomena of entanglement occur. Moreover, the phenomena of decaying oscillatory dynamics, as well as the sudden death and birth of entanglement, depend on the electron-QD-qubit couplings. These electron-QD-qubit correlations provide the quantum dot system with promising features for establishing quantum technologies.

Quantum correlations of a two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba spin-orbit coupling

Juan Aranzadi, P. I. Tamborenea

We study the correlations of a two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC). We obtain the two-particle density matrix and use it to derive the exchange hole. We find a nontrivial correlation for electrons with opposite spin projections that does not occur without Rashba SOC. The two-particle density matrix allows us to further study the quantum correlations of the system. We use it to obtain the concurrence and the entanglement of formation in order to quantify the entanglement of the electron spins. Additionally, we calculate the quantum discord and compare it with the entanglement and classical correlations.

Dynamics of quantum coherence and non-classical correlations between non-interacting two 2-level atoms in thermal baths

Mourad Benzahra, Zakaria Dahbi, Mostafa Mansour +1 more

This paper delves into the exploration of quantum resources within a two-qubit system composed of two 2-level atoms connected to distinct thermal baths. Various quantifiers are employed to evaluate different aspects of the system’s quantum characteristics. Specifically, the [Formula: see text]-norm and relative entropy of coherence ([Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]) are utilized to gauge quantum coherence, while local quantum Fisher information (LQFI) is used to quantify non-classical correlations within the system. The findings suggest that the amount of quantum correlations and coherence decline as the spontaneous emission rate [Formula: see text] and the mean thermal photon number n increase. However, it is observed that manipulating parameters defining the initial state of the two-level atoms system can enhance non-classical correlations and quantum coherence between the two atoms. Additionally, it is noted that these three key metrics entirely vanish in the asymptotic limit of time. Our research underscores the importance of precisely adjusting the parameters of the initial system state, which is prepared in an extended Werner-like state (EWL), to protect quantum resources shared between the two atoms from environmental influences.

Effects of intrinsic decoherence on quantum coherence and correlations between spins within a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice graphene layer system

Zakaria Bouafia, Samira Elghaayda, Mostafa Mansour

This research delves into the influence of intrinsic decoherence on the behavior of quantum correlations and coherence between two interacting qubits in a graphene-based system. To evaluate the amount of nonclassical correlations in the system, we employ local quantum uncertainty (LQU), and to assess quantum coherence we use the relative entropy of coherence [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]-norm [Formula: see text]. We assume that the system is initially prepared in an extended-Werner-like (EWL) state, and we investigate how these quantifiers evolve over time and examine their sensitivity to various graphene layer system parameters, mixture parameter of the initial state and the intrinsic decoherence rate. Our results indicate that by adjusting the wave number operators, decreasing the intrinsic decoherence rate, and increasing the initial state mixing parameter, it is possible to enhance both quantum correlations and coherence within the two-dimensional honeycomb lattice system. In addition, we found that quantum coherence is more resilient to intrinsic decoherence than LQU, moreover, the [Formula: see text]-norm is more robust than the relative entropy of coherence.

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.
