Loss induced long-lived entanglement in a multiatom sample

Stefania Nicolosi, Anna Napoli, ANTONINO MESSINA

The exact dynamics of $N$ two-level atoms coupled to a common electromagnetic bath and closely located inside a lossy cavity is reported. Stationary radiation trapping effects are found and very transparently interpreted in the context of our approach. We prove that initially injecting one excitation only in the $N$ atoms cavity system, loss mechanisms asymptotically drive the matter sample toward a long-lived collective subradiant Dicke state. The role played by the closeness of the $N$ atoms with respect to such a cooperative behaviour is brought to light and carefully discussed.The exact dynamics of $N$ two-level atoms coupled to a common electromagnetic bath and closely located inside a lossy cavity is reported.

Entanglement in a driven two-qubit system coupled to common cavity

Amit Dey

A system, comprised of a qubit pair coupled to a common cavity, is studied with the aim of establishing qubit entanglement. This study is the sequel of the paper Phys. Rev. A 111, 043705 (2025), where similar model was investigated for an initially vacuum cavity. In the present manuscript the cavity with finite initial occupancy is considered and the effect of asymmetric qubit cavity couplings is investigated. For a closed system scenario, the ratio of the qubit-cavity couplings shows a threshold beyond which no maximally-entangled qubit state is available. The threshold value is shown to depend on the excitation level of the cavity. For a driven-dissipative case steady state entanglement is shown to depend non-monotonically on the qubit drive. Intricate interplay of drive, dissipation, and coupling asymmetry is shown to be pivotal for steady-state entanglement generation.A system, comprised of a qubit pair coupled to a common cavity, is studied with the aim of establishing qubit entanglement.

The entangleable properties of two atoms inside the dissipative cavity

Zhang Li-Hui

We have investigated the entangleable properties of two two-level atoms inside the dissipative cavity coupled to a single-mode radiation field under the big detuning,and discussed the influence of the initial state of the two atoms,the cavitity decay constant and the mean photon number on the entanglement degree.It have shown that if the two atoms are initially in the exicited or the ground states,they will be separate always;if the two atoms are initially in the coherent superposition of the excited and the ground states,the influence of cavity dissipation on the entanglement degree will vanish gradually with the time evolution,but the dipole-dipole interaction can enhance the entanglement degree.We have investigated the entangleable properties of two two-level atoms inside the dissipative cavity coupled to a single-mode radiation field under the big detuning,and discussed the influence of the initial state of the two atoms,the cavitity decay constant and the mean photon number on the entanglement degree.It have shown that if the two atoms are initially in the exicited or the ground states,they will be separate always;if the two atoms are initially in the coherent superposition of the excited and the ground states,the influence of cavity dissipation on the entanglement degree will vanish gradually with the time evolution,but the dipole-dipole interaction can enhance the entanglement degree.

Off-resonant entanglement generation in a lossy cavity

Francesco Francica, Sabrina Maniscalco, PIILO J +2 more

We provide an analytical description of the entanglement dynamics of two qubits coupled to a common structured reservoir at zero temperature. We derive the conditions to maximize reservoir-induced entanglement for an initially factorized state of the two-qubit system. In particular, when the two qubits are placed inside a lossy cavity, we show that high values of entanglement can be obtained, even in the bad-cavity limit, in the dispersive regime. Finally we show that, under certain conditions, the entanglement dynamics exhibits quantum beats and we explain their physical origin in terms of the interference between two different transitions coupling the dressed states of the system.We provide an analytical description of the entanglement dynamics of two qubits coupled to a common structured reservoir at zero temperature.
