Abstract

Abstract The open quantum dynamics of a two‐qubit quantum dot system is investigated initially prepared as thermal state and exposed to an Ohmic bosonic reservoir, modeling it as a prototype quantum processor. By integrating local and interaction Hamiltonians, field‐induced couplings, and thermal effects, we derive the system's thermal state and analyze its evolution using quantum measures: concurrence, Bell nonlocality, energy fluctuations, and quantum speed limit (QSL) time. Results reveal that strong field‐induced coupling enhances and preserves quantum correlations, which otherwise vanish abruptly beyond a critical coupling strength. Conversely, energy fluctuations and the QSL time are suppressed for weak coupling but increase significantly in the strong coupling regime. Higher temperatures are shown to uniformly accelerate the dissipation of quantum correlations. Furthermore, it is found that while weak splitting strength allows for tunable correlations, strong splitting enhances initial correlations and energy fluctuations at the cost of suppressing the QSL. These findings demonstrate the potential of coupled quantum dots as tunable two‐qubit processors, providing a guide for precise control over their quantum and thermal properties.

Thermal Local Quantum Information Beyond Entanglement in Two‐Qubit NV Centers with External Control Parameters

Abstract The thermal behavior of quantum correlations is explored in a two‐qubit system based on nitrogen‐vacancy (NV) centers, using Local Quantum Fisher Information (LQFI), Local Quantum Uncertainty (LQU), and concurrence as quantifiers. These results show that entanglement, measured byconcurrence (CE), decays rapidly with increasing temperature, whereas coherence‐based measures such as LQFI and LQU display greater resilience. The strength of zero‐field splitting plays a key role in shaping quantum correlations, significantly suppressing entanglement at higher values while helping to preserve coherence. External magnetic and electric fields further influence these dynamics–magnetic fields tend to suppress entanglement, while electric fields accelerate its degradation. Dipole–dipole interactions enhance the initial quantum correlations but have a limited effect on their thermal decay. Overall, these findings underscore the robustness of coherence‐based quantum resources and suggest that, while dipole–dipole coupling is more effective at regulating quantum correlations, optimal tuning of system parameters can significantly improve both the generation and preservation of these correlations at finite temperatures.

Coherence and Local Quantum Fisher Information in Tilted Dirac Systems With Reservoir Memory

ABSTRACT We study quantum resources in tilted‐Dirac materials using a thermal state and reservoir‐driven dynamics in dissipative weak‐coupling and memory‐bearing strong‐coupling regimes. In contrast to the usual treatments based on the Bellomo formalism and relying on Bell or Werner states, the present approach starts from a physically motivated thermal state of two qubits whose initial properties are determined by the system temperature and the velocity parameters of the underlying Dirac material. The subsequent dynamics is modeled using the Bellomo formalism for two independent qubits, each locally coupled to an independent reservoir. To characterize the evolution, we analyze coherence quantified by the ‐norm and local quantum Fisher information. Weak, effectively Markovian coupling yields monotonic coherence decay, while local quantum Fisher information depends more strongly on parameters, especially at low reservoir temperatures; varying velocity parameters together obscures their individual effects. With strong, memory‐bearing coupling, coherence remains suppressed at long times, whereas local quantum Fisher information decreases then recovers to a large asymptotic value. The two measures thus respond differently to thermal, material, and reservoir effects, without implying general practical metrological superiority of local quantum Fisher information.

Quantum Thermometry of External Phonon Reservoirs in Driven Open Quantum Systems

Yildiz Berk Ates

We investigate the non-monotonic temperature sensitivity of a coherently driven two-level quantum system coupled to an Ohmic phonon environment. By employing a unitary polaron transformation, we account for phonon-induced renormalization effects that go beyond the standard weak-coupling approximations. Our analysis reveals that the Quantum Fisher Information (QFI) exhibits a prominent peak at an intermediate system-environment coupling strength, identifying an optimal regime for thermal sensing. This behavior emerges from a fundamental competition between environment-induced dissipation enhancement and the exponential suppression of system parameters due to phonon dressing. We demonstrate that while thermometric precision vanishes in both the ultra-weak and strong coupling limits, a properly tuned nonequilibrium steady state can significantly enhance sensitivity. These results suggest that environmental interactions, often viewed as detrimental decoherence sources, can be engineered as a resource to optimize the performance of solid-state quantum thermometers.

Quantum speed limits in dephasing dynamics of a qubit system coupled to thermal environments

Xiang-Ji Cai, Yanyan Feng, Jing Ren +4 more

We theoretically study the quantum speed limits (QSLs) of a qubit system coupled to a thermal dephasing environment with an Ohmic-like spectral density. Based on the geometric QSLs time bound, which is derived by employing the trace distance to quantify the geodesic between two distinguishable states in dynamical evolution, we study the influences of the temperature and spectral density of the environment on the QSLs time of the dephasing qubit. We also investigate the interplay between the QSLs time, the environmental temperature, and the spectral density of the environment. It has been demonstrated that the QSLs time closely depends on the transition frequency and the dynamical behavior (e.g., coherence trapping) of the dephasing qubit. For a fixed Ohmicity parameter of the environmental spectral density, the increase in environmental temperature can enhance the QSLs time bound. In addition, when the environmental temperature remains constant, the increase in the Ohmicity parameter initially leads to a reduction in the QSLs time bound, which is then followed by an increase in the time bound of QSLs. Our results can help to better understand the QSLs in the dynamics of open quantum systems and have potential application in the modulation of QSLs time in the dephasing qubit by engineering the spectral density of the environment.

Entanglement of A Qubit‐Qutrit System: Impact of Ohmic Noise

ABSTRACT This research examines the dynamics of quantum correlations in a hybrid qubit–qutrit system subjected to an Ohmic noisy environment. While entanglement degradation in homogeneous systems is well‐documented, the behavior of disparate‐dimensional interfaces remains a critical challenge for the interoperability of future quantum networks. Using the negativity as a measure of entanglement, we analytically and numerically investigate how the spectral properties of the reservoir influence the system´s coherence. Our results reveal that the cut‐off frequency ω c acts as a fundamental control parameter: at low frequencies, it triggers non‐Markovian effects that effectively shield the system from entanglement sudden death, whereas high frequencies accelerate the transition to a purely dissipative regime. Furthermore, we demonstrate that strategic optimization of the coupling strength J and the entanglement parameter r can significantly enhance the robustness of hybrid correlations. The findings provide new methodological insights and practical guidelines for reservoir engineering, offering a framework to preserve quantum resources in high‐dimensional hybrid architectures.

Dynamical Evolution of Quantum Correlations and Decoherence in Coupled Oscillators Interacting with a Thermal Reservoir

We investigate the dynamical evolution of quantum discord, entanglement and purity in an open quantum system of two coupled asymmetric harmonic oscillators interacting with a thermal environment. Using the Kossakowski-Lindblad master equation we analyze the time evolution starting with a squeezed vacuum state. In contrast to our previous study on entanglement evolution in asymmetric oscillators, the present work introduces XY-type position-position coupling together with a systematic joint analysis of quantum discord and purity alongside entanglement. We examine the combined effects of the squeezing parameter, asymmetry parameter, coupling constant, dissipation rate and temperature. We find that quantum discord and entanglement exhibit, in general, a non-monotonic decrease over time. Increasing temperature consistently accelerates the degradation of both quantum correlations and purity, whereas increasing dissipation accelerates the degradation of quantum correlations but leads to higher steady-state purity. Increasing the squeezing parameter provides a protective effect by enhancing initial correlations and prolonging entanglement survival time, while increasing the coupling constant leads to higher quantum correlations. The asymmetry parameter exhibits only a weak influence on the correlation evolution. Our analysis reveals that quantum discord demonstrates stronger resilience than entanglement, which can present more complex behaviour including entanglement sudden death and possible temporary revivals and re-suppressions. These findings provide valuable insights for developing robust quantum information protocols and strategies for preserving quantum correlations in realistic open quantum systems, with potential extensions to non-Markovian regimes and multi-mode architectures.
