Controlling sudden transition between classical and quantum decoherence via squeezing phase of the baths

Abstract Correlations in the open quantum systems exhibit a rich phenomenology in various decoherent environments. We theoretically study the dynamics of quantum and classical correlations in a two-qubit system, where each qubit is locally subjected to the relevant squeezed vacuum bath through the non-demolition interaction. Specifically, we unveil the effects of the squeezing phase of the bath and squeezing strength on the intriguing phenomena of freezing discord and sudden transition between classical and quantum decoherence. Remarkably, we show that by proper tuning the squeezing phase one can significantly delay the sudden transition time t ′ . Interestingly, we found that the maximum delay in t ′ may obtain when the phase difference between the squeezing phase and the phase of the coupling strength is π /2. Consequently, an increase in the t ′ leads to the enhancement of time-interval during which quantum discord does not affect by environmental noise. On the other hand, we show that squeezing strength plays a negative role in enhancing sudden transition time and preserving quantum discord. Furthermore, we also show that squeezed bath allows the existence of the time-invariant discord for a broader range of Ohmicity parameter s and initial condition ε . Strikingly our study renders new insights to control and sustain quantum correlations against the detrimental effects of decoherence beyond the conventional protocols.

Dynamics of quantum correlations in colored-noise environments

We address the dynamics of entanglement and quantum discord for two noninteracting qubits initially prepared in a maximally entangled state and then subjected to a classical colored noise, i.e., coupled with an external environment characterized by a noise spectrum of the form $1/{f}^{\ensuremath{\alpha}}$. More specifically, we address systems in which the Gaussian approximation fails, i.e., mere knowledge of the spectrum is not enough to determine the dynamics of quantum correlations. We thus investigate the dynamics for two different configurations of the environment: in the first case, the noise spectrum is due to the interaction of each qubit with a single bistable fluctuator with an undetermined switching rate, whereas in the second case we consider a collection of classical fluctuators with fixed switching rates. In both cases, we found analytical expressions for the time dependence of entanglement and quantum discord, which may also be extended to a collection of fluctuators with random switching rates. The environmental noise is introduced by means of stochastic time-dependent terms in the Hamiltonian, and this allows us to describe the effects of both separate and common environments. We show that the non-Gaussian character of the noise may lead to significant effects, e.g., environments with the same power spectrum, but different configurations give rise to the opposite behavior for quantum correlations. In particular, depending on the characteristics of the environmental noise considered, both entanglement and discord display either a monotonic decay or the phenomena of sudden death and revivals. Our results show that the microscopic structure of the environment, in addition to its noise spectrum, is relevant for the dynamics of quantum correlations and may be a valid starting point for the engineering of non-Gaussian colored environments.
