Abstract

Abstract Quantum entanglement in two-spin systems in multiple pulse NMR spin locking with dephasing relaxation is studied on the basis of the Lindblad equation. An exact solution for the density matrix of the system for any initial temperature is found. The dependence of the concurrence (which determines quantum entanglement) on the dephasing relaxation rate and the parameters of the multiple pulse sequence is investigated. For different rates of dephasing relaxation, the critical temperature at which entanglement arises is found.

Quantum Entanglement in Quasi-Equilibrium States in the Multipulse Spin Locking of the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

G. A. Bochkin, Sergey G. Vasil’ev, E. I. Kuznetsova +1 more

Quantum entanglement is studied NMR multipulse spin locking, when a system of spins coupled by the dipole–dipole interaction in a strong magnetic field is irradiated by a sequence of resonant high-frequency $$\varphi $$ -pulses with the same time delay $$2\tau $$ between successive pulses. For times $$t \sim {{T}_{2}}$$ ( $${{T}_{2}} \approx \omega _{{{\text{loc}}}}^{{ - 1}}$$ , $${{\omega }_{{{\text{loc}}}}}$$ is determined by the dipole–dipole interaction), quasi-equilibrium with a structure depending on the relation between the pulsed field $${{\omega }_{1}} = \varphi {\text{/}}2\tau $$ and $${{\omega }_{{{\text{loc}}}}}$$ is established in the system. For $${{\omega }_{1}} \lessapprox {{\omega }_{{{\text{loc}}}}}$$ , a one-temperature quasi-equilibrium state arises, while a quasi-equilibrium with the dipole and Zeeman temperatures appears for $${{\omega }_{1}} \gg {{\omega }_{{{\text{loc}}}}}$$ . The temperature dependence of entanglement is investigated for $${{\omega }_{1}} \lessapprox {{\omega }_{{{\text{loc}}}}}$$ . For $${{\omega }_{1}} \gg {{\omega }_{{{\text{loc}}}}}$$ , the further evolution of the system is determined by the Provotorov equations and leads to the equalization of the dipole and Zeeman temperatures. It is shown that the entanglement is absent in this case.

Magnus expansion paradoxes in the study of equilibrium magnetization and entanglement in multi-pulse spin locking

E. I. Kuznetsova, Edward B. Fel’dman, Dima E. Feldman

Divergence of the Magnus expansion leads to paradoxes in the spin dynamics of solid-state NMR and in quantum informatics. This review presents results on quasi-equilibrium magnetization in a system of dipole-dipole (DD) coupled spins at times in multiple-pulse spin locking ( is the transverse spin relaxation time and is the rotating-frame spin-lattice relaxation time). It is shown how contradictions between the results obtained with the Magnus expansion and experimental data can be removed. Systems of two and three DD coupled spins in multi-pulse spin locking are considered, and the entanglement evolution is investigated using both the Magnus expansion and the exact solution. The critical temperature for an entangled state is also found.

Multiple quantum coherence transfer and quantum correlations in NMR experiments in solids

G. A. Bochkin, А. В. Федорова, Edward B. Fel’dman +1 more

In this work, quantum correlations in two model systems which can be invesitgated by means of solid-state NMR are considered. The first is a two-spin system in NMR spin-locking experiment, where two schemes of spin-locking are considered. Concurrence is calculated for both schemes assuming the initial thermodynamic equilibrium state. Quantum discord is calculated analytically in the high-temperature approximation. The second model system is the spin-1/2 chain with the XY interaction, where the transfer of multiple quantum (MQ) coherences from one end of the chain to another is studied. The conditions under which the density matrix of the receiver is a block-scaled version of the sender’s density matrix are found.

Multiple quantum spin dynamics of entanglement

Serge I. Doronin

The dynamics of entanglement is investigated on the basis of exactly solvable models of multiple quantum (MQ) NMR spin dynamics. It is shown that the time evolution of MQ coherences of systems of coupled nuclear spins in solids is directly connected with dynamics of the quantum entanglement. We studied analytically the dynamics of entangled states for two- and three-spin systems coupled by the dipole-dipole interaction. In this case the dynamics of the quantum entanglement is uniquely determined by the time evolution of MQ coherences of the second order. The real part of the density matrix describing MQ dynamics in solids is responsible for MQ coherences of the zeroth order while its imaginary part is responsible for the second order. Thus, one can conclude that the dynamics of the entanglement is connected with transitions from the real part of the density matrix to the imaginary one, and vice versa. A pure state which generalizes the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) and W states is found. Different measures of the entanglement of this state are analyzed for tripartite systems.

Influence of environment on quantum correlations in two-spin systems with dipole-dipole interactions

G. A. Bochkin, E. B. Fel'dman, E. I. Kuznetsova +1 more

An influence of environment on quantum correlations (entanglement and quantum discord) is studied in a two-spin-1/2 system with dipole-dipole interactions on the basis of Lindblad equation. We consider the simplest case when the environment causes only dephasing of system spins. The dependencies of entanglement and the quantum discord on the relaxation rate are obtained. We compare the influence of the environment on entanglement and quantum discord.

The effect of spin-lattice relaxation on multiple-quantum NMR coherences in solids

Edward B. Fel’dman, Alexey N. Pyrkov

A phenomenological theory of spin-lattice relaxation of multiple-quantum coherences in systems of two dipolar coupled spins at low temperatures is developed. Intensities of multiple-quantum NMR coherences depending on the spin-lattice relaxation time are obtained. It is shown that the theory is also applicable to finite spin chains when the approximation of nearest neighbour interaction is used. An application of this theory to an estimation of the influence of decoherence processes on quantum entanglement and its fluctuations is briefly discussed.
