Abstract

Abstract Graphene, with its two-dimensional carbon structure, exhibits unique quantum properties that are crucial for quantum computing. In this paper, we investigate the influence of an external electromagnetic field on quantum coherence and entanglement between two qubits in graphene lattices. Our findings show that an electromagnetic field with high field strength (ξ 0 ∼ 50 meV2) and low frequency (ω = 0.117 eV) significantly enhances quantum entanglement and coherence, even at elevated temperatures (T ∼ 20 meV). By adjusting the frequency and the field strength, these quantum effects can be preserved long enough at high temperatures. Furthermore, circular polarization of the electromagnetic field is found to be more effective than linear and elliptical polarizations in optimizing these effects. These results highlight the critical role of electromagnetic fields in enhancing quantum properties, potentially paving the way for advancements in quantum computing and related technologies.

Pairwise thermal quantum resources in graphene-based qubits under polarized laser driving

Zakaria Bouafia, Zakaria Dahbi, Mostafa Mansour

Abstract We investigate the dynamics of entanglement and quantum coherence between the pseudospin and valley indices of individual electrons in two-dimensional graphene, thermalized at an equilibrium temperature T . The system is modeled by an effective Dirac-like Hamiltonian describing a graphene valley-pseudospin qubit under polarized laser driving, including sublattice-dependent scattering process, while the thermal fluctuations are accounted through the standard Gibbs thermal state. Entanglement between the two degrees of liberty of electrons is quantified using concurrence, and coherence with the system is measured employing the relative entropy of coherence. The findings demonstrate that the behavior of entanglement and coherence under thermal noise strongly depends on the scattering strength, wavevector components, and electromagnetic field. Additionally, our results indicate that the strong polarized fields ( ξ 0 = 8 meV 2 ) with low-frequency ( ω = 0.06 eV ) can be employed to enhance the robustness of thermal entanglement and coherence of the system at intermediate temperatures. We also explore the impact of the other system parameters, like scattering strength and wavevector components, in enhancing and preserving quantum resources within graphene-based systems, noting particularly that the relative entropy of coherence is more resilient than concurrence against thermal decoherence.

Investigating the Impact of Electromagnetic Fields on Local Quantum Fisher Information and Coherence in Graphene

Abdelghani El Houri, Ayyoub El Mouatasim, Aziz Khribach +3 more

Abstract This study explores the temporal evolution of local quantum Fisher information and coherence in a graphene monolayer subjected to a polarized electromagnetic field, revealing significant effects driven by system parameters. In the absence of the field, the analysis highlights the crucial role of the initial state's purity in the dynamics of both local quantum Fisher information and coherence, influencing their amplitude and decay over time. Introducing an electromagnetic field unveils a strong dependence of these quantities on the polarization and amplitude parameters. For linear polarization, local quantum Fisher information and coherence reach their maximum values at specific field phases, while for circular polarization, the system's response becomes more complex, exhibiting pronounced variations and a gradual decrease in coherence at higher field intensities. These findings emphasize the importance of controlling electromagnetic parameters to manipulate quantum information in graphene and open up new prospects for applications in quantum electronics and information processing.

Quantum Correlations in Zigzag Graphene Nanoribbons: Effects of Length and Magnetic Fields

Younes Moqine, Brahim Adnane, Aziz Khribach +3 more

In this article, we investigate how various parameters such as the nanoribbon length, temperature, external magnetic field, and Coulomb interactions affect fundamental quantum correlations in zigzag graphene nanoribbons. Using an effective Heisenberg model derived from the Hubbard Hamiltonian, we analyze three essential quantifiers: thermal entanglement, correlated quantum coherence, and local quantum uncertainty. Our results reveal that increasing the ribbon length leads to an exponential reduction of the exchange interaction between edge‐localized electronic states, which causes a gradual decrease of thermal entanglement. Both temperature and Coulomb repulsion significantly reduce the concurrence, while quantum coherence and local quantum uncertainty exhibit greater robustness, maintaining nonclassical correlations even at elevated temperatures. Furthermore, the application of an external magnetic field strongly influences these quantum correlations and enhances their sensitivity to thermal and geometric effects. These findings provide a comprehensive understanding of how structural and environmental parameters govern quantum correlations in graphene‐based nanostructures, offering valuable insights for the design of stable platforms for quantum information processing and spintronic applications.

Dynamics of quantum entanglement in a zigzag graphene nanoribbon

Xiao-Dong Tan, L. X. Cui, Ya-Feng Song

Abstract We study the dynamics of entanglement between two edge spins in a zigzag graphene nanoribbon (ZGNR) which is thermalized with a reservoir at temperature T . The results show that the entanglement evolution displays oscillating behaviors in the presence of an external magnetic field. Such oscillating behaviors of entanglement strongly depend on the field frequency and relative location between two inter-edge coupled spins. At some critical field frequencies, the entanglement exhibits a periodic structure. When the temperature is low, the oscillating patterns of entanglement are quite regular and symmetrical. When the temperature is high, the patterns of entanglement evolution occur irregular distortions due to the thermal fluctuations. However, the entanglement between two inter-edge coupled spins in ZGNR still exists a nontrivial value even at room temperature.

Temperature limits of the transitional quantum dynamics in qubit clusters exposed to the ac field

Serhii Shafraniuk

Extending the temperature limits of quantum coherence in the system representing a chain of coupled two-level systems (TLS) exposed to an electromagnetic field is complicated due to the adverse influence of noise. Such a system frequently serves as a basic element of various quantum devices. In the steady state, the quantum coherence in TLS is merely destroyed by noise, which intensifies as the temperature increases. The behavior is complicated when the external field is applied modulating also the noise. In this work, using the computerized model, we study the temperature limits of the transitional quantum dynamics in the all-electrically controlled graphene single-TLS and three-TLS devices exposed to the electromagnetic field. We analyze how the external ac field changes the state of the system and observe that it not only influences the coherent transport there but modifies the effect of noise. The conducted numerical experiments determine the conditions provided the quantum coherence in QC may be much prolonged even above the ambient room temperature which can improve the performance of various quantum devices.
