Entanglement of two-mode Bose-Einstein condensates

Abstract

We investigate the entanglement characteristics of two general bimodal Bose-Einstein condensates---a pair of tunnel-coupled Bose-Einstein condensates and the atom-molecule Bose-Einstein condensate. We argue that the entanglement is only physically meaningful if the system is viewed as a bipartite system, where the subsystems are the two modes. The indistinguishibility of the particles in the condensate means that the atomic constituents are physically inaccessible and, thus, the degree of entanglement between individual particles, unlike the entanglement between the modes, is not experimentally relevant so long as the particles remain in the condensed state. We calculate the entanglement between the two modes for the exact ground state of the two bimodal condensates and consider the dynamics of the entanglement in the tunnel-coupled case.

Two-mode entanglement in spin and spatial degrees of freedom

Karsten Lange

The predictions of quantum mechanics often differ from our everyday experiences. In the classical case, the state of a system can be predicted precisely, assuming the exact knowledge of all parameters. This is not possible in quantum mechanics. For example, the spin of one particle can be simultaneously in two different states, until a measurement defines the actual state. If multiple particles are in such superposition states, their spins can be coupled with each other such that the measurement of one particle changes the physical state of the other particles. This coupling effect is a fundamental part of quantum mechanics and is called entanglement. It is a central requirement for applications in the fields of quantum communication, quantum cryptography and quantum computing. One possibility to create entanglement are spin-changing collisions in a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate. These collisions are described by a nonlinear process, which creates non-classical correlations between all atoms of the Bose-Einstein condensate. Within this thesis, 87Rb spinor Bose-Einstein condensates are used to demonstrate Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen entanglement by the generation and analysis of a two-mode entangled state in spin space [A1]. These states are applied in an interferometric measurement with a resolution of 2.05+0.34 -0.37 dB beyond the standard quantum limit [A2]. Depending on the dynamics, the process can also be analogous to the dynamical Casimir effect [A3]. The entanglement between the particles in these publications is strongly connected with their indistinguishability. It is thus possible to make the particles distinguishable again and recover the entanglement between the now separated particles? This question is approached by cutting an entangled state of indistinguishable particles into two spatially separated atomic modes - creating a two-mode entangled state in real space. As shown in Ref. [A4], the entanglement between the two separated clouds of a Bose-Einstein condensate can be measured directly. In the future, the created state can be employed for a test of quantum nonlocality.

ENTANGLEMENT DYNAMICS OF FLUCTUATIONS IN TWO-MODE BOSE–EINSTEIN CONDENSATES

P. L. Shu, L. C. Wang, X. X. Yi

The entanglement dynamics of fluctuations in two weakly coupled Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) is studied in this paper. By calculating the time evolution of entanglement between two fluctuations of condensates in a double-well potential, we show that the nonlinear tunneling transition can be reflected in the entanglement dynamics of fluctuations in BECs. This complements the study on the entanglement dynamics of BECs based on the mean-field approximation.

Entanglement dynamics in two-species Bose-Einstein condensates

YI Hong-gan

We present a scheme for generating entangled state in two-species Bose-Einstein Condensate(BEC)with tunneling coupling.It's shown that the entanglement is independent of the tunneling coupling;the best entanglement is independent of the interaction in two-species in the condensate and the interaction accelerates the atoms in the condensate into the entangled state.It's also shown that one may faster generating the better entangled state by increasing the number of atoms in the condensate.

Mode-exchange collisions in an exactly solvable two-mode Bose-Einstein condensate

Pablo Barberis-Blostein, Ivette Fuentes

Mode-exchange collisions occur in multimode Bose-Einstein condensates, in some cases, producing particle loss in the system. Nevertheless, little is known about mode-exchange collisions in the case when particles do not escape the trap. We show that these processes are relevant in quantum properties of the system such as the evolution of the relative population, the self-trapping effect, and the probability distribution of particles. Surprisingly, including mode-exchange terms in the model of the two-mode condensate allows for an exact analytical solution. Using this solution, we show that collisions favor the generation of entanglement between the modes of the condensate.

Bipartite mode entanglement of bosonic condensates on tunneling graphs

Paolo Zanardi A

We study a set of L spatial bosonic modes localized on a graph $\ensuremath{\Gamma}.$ The particles are allowed to tunnel from vertex to vertex by hopping along the edges of $\ensuremath{\Gamma}.$ We analyze how, in the exact many-body eigenstates of the system, i.e., Bose-Einstein condensates over single-particle eigenfunctions, the bipartite quantum entanglement of a graph vertex with respect to the rest of the graph depends on the topology of $\ensuremath{\Gamma}.$

Entanglement dynamics in two-component Bose–Einstein condensates

Hao Ya-Jiang, Liang Jiu-Qing

Based on the exact solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for two-species Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) consisting of two hyperfine states of the atoms coupled by a tuned adiabatic and time-varying Raman coupling, we obtain analytically the entanglement dynamics of the system with various initial states, particularly the SU(2) coherent state, for both of cases with and without the nonlinear interactions. It is shown that the effect of nonlinear interaction on the entanglement appears only in a longer time period depending on the BEC parameters.
