Entangled Light from White Noise

Abstract

An atom that couples to two distinct leaky optical cavities is driven by an external optical white noise field. We describe how entanglement between the light fields sustained by two optical cavities arises in such a situation. The entanglement is maximized for intermediate values of the cavity damping rates and the intensity of the white noise field, vanishing both for small and for large values of these parameters and thus exhibiting a stochastic-resonancelike behavior. This example illustrates the possibility of generating entanglement by exclusively incoherent means and sheds new light on the constructive role noise may play in certain tasks of interest for quantum information processing.

Noise-assisted preparation of entangled atoms

We discuss the generation of entangled states of two two-level atoms inside an optical cavity. The cavity mode is supposed to be coupled to a white noise with adjustable intensity. We describe how the entanglement between the atoms arise in such a situation. The entanglement is maximized for intermediate values of the noise intensity, while it is a monotonic function of the atomic decay rate. This resembles the phenomenon of stochastic resonance and sheds more light on the idea to exploit the white noise in quantum-information processing.

Control of the entanglement of two atoms in an optical cavity via white noise

Jing‐Bo Xu, Shangbin Li

We employ external optical white-noise fields as the actual driving fields of two atoms inside an optical cavity and investigate how controllable entanglement between two atoms arises in such a situation. Two different action configurations of noise are considered. If two atoms are simultaneously driven by two independent white-noise fields with the same intensity, the entanglement between them is suppressed and eventually completely destroyed by the noise. However, if only one atom is exposed in the white-noise fields, the steady state of the two atoms exhibits entanglement. A stochastic-resonance-like behaviour of steady state entanglement is also revealed. Finally, we examine the Bell violation between atoms and show that the steady state does not violate the Bell inequality even though it is inseparable. The stochastic-resonance-like behaviour cannot be observed in the Bell violation of two atoms during the evolution. The stronger the noise intensity, the more rapidly the Bell violation disappears.

Quantum discord induced by white noises

Jiasen Jin, Chang‐shui Yu, Pei Pei +1 more

We discuss the creation of quantum discord between two two-level atoms trapped in an optical cavity in a noisy environment. It is shown that nonzero steady-state quantum discord between atoms can be obtained when the white-noise field is separately imposed on atoms or cavity mode, while the steady-state quantum discord reaches zero if both cavity mode and atoms are driven simultaneously by white-noise fields. In particular, we demonstrate that white-noise field in different cases can play a variously constructive role in the generation of quantum discord.

NOISE INDUCED ENTANGLEMENT

Jiale Chen, X. X. Yi, H. S. Song +1 more

We show that two two-level atoms coupled simultaneously with a third dissipated atom would end up with entangled states. The dissipation of the third atom is supposed to come from its coupling to noises with adjustable intensity. Two kinds of noise, white noise and squeezing white noise, are identified to possess the ability to help preparation of entanglement. We confirm that the entanglement is maximized for intermediate values of the noise intensity with all atoms in the ground state, while it is a monotonic function of the spontaneous rates.

Enhancing entanglement cavity with white noise generation of two atoms in a using classical driving fields

张建松, 陈爱喜

We investigate the entanglement dynamics of a quantum system consisting of two two-level atoms in a cavity with classical driving fields in the presence of white noise.The cavity is initially prepared in the vacuum state.Generally,the entanglement of two atoms decreases with the intensity of the thermal fields and the coupling strength of the two-level atoms to the thermal fields.However,we find that the entanglement of the quantum system can be enhanced by adjusting the frequency and the strength of the classical driving fields in the presence of white noise.

Noise-Assisted Quantum Entanglement: Memory-Enhanced Coherence in Stochastic Jaynes-Cummings Dynamics

Fang Wang, Quanzhen Ding, Jun Jing +1 more

We investigate qubit entanglement dynamics in a two-qubit cavity system with stochastically fluctuating coupling strength, comparing white noise (Markovian) and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck noise (non-Markovian) processes. We analytically solve the system dynamics for both Fock and coherent cavity states and systematically characterize how initial qubit configurations affect entanglement generation and preservation. Our results reveal distinct dynamical regimes: in the Fock-state cavity, initial states in the single-excitation subspace generate robust qubit entanglement in decoherence-free subspaces, while initially entangled states in the double-excitation subspace exhibit inevitable decay without protective symmetries. For coherent cavities, we identify a critical photon-number threshold in the intermediate coherent-state amplitude regime where dynamics transition from low-frequency to high-frequency entanglement oscillations, while universal entanglement loss occurs at large amplitudes. Remarkable resilience against entanglement sudden death emerges under strong non-Markovian noise with long correlation times, where repeated revivals occur. These findings establish cavity photon statistics and environmental memory time as key control parameters for engineering qubit entanglement dynamics in qubit-cavity systems, revealing how system-environment correlations govern quantum information preservation.
