Abstract

Abstract We consider the task of extracting work from multiqubit-interaction system coupled to a common non-Markovian environment. By adjusting various parameters such as the number of qubits and the strength of interaction between qubits, the environment can be made non-Markovian in both strong coupling and weak coupling states. It will be shown that the number of qubits and the coupling strengthbetween the qubits have a positive role for enhancing the process of extracting work from the quantum system.

Quantum speedup dynamics process in multiqubit-interacting system

Ji-Yang Sun, Kai Dong Xu, Zai-Dong Li

We investigate the dynamics of an N -qubit interacting system coupled to a common reservoir. In the weak system-environment coupling regime, the crossovers from Markovian to non-Markovian and from no speedup to speedup can be realized by adjusting the controllable parameters (i.e., the coupling strength between qubits and the number of the qubits). However, in the case of strong coupling, the multiple transitions from non-Markovian regime to Markovian regime and from speedup to no speedup can be induced by manipulating controllable parameters. In addition, a phenomenon can be noticed that the number of qubits and the coupling strength between the qubits have the different effect on the non-Markovian dynamics and speedup evolution of the system in the above weak- and strong-coupling regimes. Our results provide an effective theoretical scheme for the realization of non-Markovian speedup dynamic processes. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

Enhancing quantum coherence in multiqubit-interacting system

Wenjing Zhao, Kai Dong Xu, Ji-Yang Sun +2 more

Abstract We propose a quantum coherence protection scheme for a two-qubit system by considering the exact evolution of multi-interacting qubits in a common reservoir. We find that the l 1 norm of coherence and the relative entropy of coherence can be noticeably enhanced by increasing the number of qubits in the weak/strong system-environment coupling regime, which contrasts sharply with the impact of coupling between qubits. Moreover, in the infinite-time limit, all the coherence measures reach their steady values which are determined only by the number of qubits.

Control of quantum dynamics: Non-Markovianity and the speedup of the open system evolution

Ying-Jie Zhang, Yun‐Jie Xia, Heng Fan

We illustrate a scheme for implementing a non-Markovian speedup evolution of an open system weakly interacting with a controllable environment: the coupled qubit-array. By controlling the environment, for instance by choosing a judicious nearest-neighbor excitation quanta hopping strength among the qubit-array or by changing the number of qubits coupled to the quantum system, two dynamical crossovers from Markovian to non-Markovian and from no-speedup to speedup are achieved in the weak system-environment coupling regime. For the weaker system-environment coupling, the larger hopping strength (or the larger qubits number) should be tuned to drive the non-Markovian speedup evolution. Particularly, the controllable non-Markovian dynamics is the intrinsic physical reason for the speedup evolution of a quantum system.

Exact non-Markovian dynamics of qubits coupled to two interacting environments

H. Z. Shen, Dongxiao Li, Shi‐Lei Su +2 more

As the memory effect may be helpful in quantum information processing, non-Markovian dynamics plays an important role in the description of many-body open systems. Among these topics, the system consisting of independent qubits interacting with several coupled environments is of particular interest. In this paper, we study the exact non-Markovian dynamics of two independent qubits. Each of the qubits interacts individually with its environment, and these two environments coupled with each other. We investigate the non-Markovianity measure of the system for the whole parameter regime without the rotating-wave approximation (RWA) and compare the results with that under the RWA. We find that the non-Markovianity measure for two qubits manifests a transition from a non-Markovian to Markovian regime regardless of the coupling strength between the environments. The physical origin of this transition is revealed, and a possible observation of the prediction in superconducting quantum interference devices is discussed.

Harnessing non-Markovian quantum memory by environmental coupling

Zhong‐Xiao Man, Yun‐Jie Xia, Rosario Lo Franco

Controlling the non-Markovian dynamics of open quantum systems is essential in quantum information technology since it plays a crucial role in preserving quantum memory. Albeit in many realistic scenarios the quantum system can simultaneously interact with composite environments, this condition remains little understood, particularly regarding the effect of the coupling between environmental parts. We analyze the non-Markovian behavior of a qubit interacting at the same time with two coupled single-mode cavities which in turn dissipate into memoryless or memory-keeping reservoirs. We show that increasing the control parameter, that is the two-mode coupling, allows for triggering and enhancing a non-Markovian dynamics for the qubit starting from a Markovian one in the absence of coupling. Surprisingly, if the qubit dynamics is non-Markovian for the zero control parameter, increasing the latter enables multiple transitions from non-Markovian to Markovian regimes. These results hold independently on the nature of the reservoirs. This work highlights that suitably engineering the coupling between parts of a compound environment can efficiently harness the quantum memory, stored in a qubit, based on non-Markovianity.

Entanglement dynamics of moving qubits in a common environment

Sare Golkar, Mohammad Kazem Tavassoly, Alireza Nourmandipour

In this paper, we provide an analytical investigation of the entanglement dynamics of moving qubits dissipating into a common and (in general) non-Markovian environment for both weak and strong coupling regimes. We first consider the case of two moving qubits in a common environment and then generalize it to an arbitrary number of moving qubits. Our results show that when the system evolves from an initial entangled state, the amount of initial entanglement decreases and finally disappears after a finite interval of time due to the environmental effects. Moreover, we observe that the movement of qubits has a constructive role in the protection of the initial entanglement. In a sense, in this case, we observe a Zeno-like effect due to the velocity of qubits. On the other hand, we demonstrate how a stationary state of entanglement may be achieved when we consider the case in which at least one of the moving qubits is initially in the ground state. Surprisingly, we observe that when we extend the number of moving qubits with the same velocity, the stationary state of the qubits does not depend on the velocity of qubits as well as on the environmental properties. This means that, in this condition, the stationary state of entanglement depends only on the number of moving qubits.
