Dynamical creation of entanglement by homodyne-mediated feedback

Abstract

For two two-level atoms coupled to a single Bosonic mode that is driven and heavily damped, the steady state can be entangled by resonantly driving the system [S. Schneider and G. J. Milburn, Phys. Rev. A 65, 042107 (2002)]. We present a scheme to significantly increase the steady-state entanglement by using homodyne-mediated feedback, in which the Bosonic mode is that of an electromagnetic cavity, the output of which is measured and the resulting homodyne photocurrent is used to modulate the field driving the qubits. Such feedback can increase the nonlinear response to both the decoherence process of the two-qubit system and the coherent evolution of individual qubits. We present the properties of the entangled states using the SO(3) $Q$ function.

Decoherence control by homodyne-mediated feedback

J. Wang, Howard M. Wiseman, Gerard J Milburn

Summary form only given. Decoherence in quantum systems can be loosely defined as loss of purity. Therefore the ultimate success in using feedback to fight decoherence would be to create an arbitrary stable pure state in the presence of dissipation. This goal was realized by Hoffman, Mahler and Hess (1998) for a very simple system: a resonantly driven two-level atom. They showed that by making part of the coherent driving proportional to the homodyne photocurrent can stabilize the state to any point on the bottom half of the sphere. Here we reanalyze their proposal by using the technique of stochastic master equations, allowing their results to be generalized in three ways.

Enhanced entanglement of two different mechanical resonators via coherent feedback

Jie Li, Gang Li, Stefano Zippilli +2 more

It was shown [New J. Phys. 17, 103037 (2015)] that large and robust entanglement between two different mechanical resonators could be achieved, either dynamically or in the steady state, in an optomechanical system in which the two mechanical resonators are coupled to a single cavity mode driven by a suitably chosen two-tone field. An important limitation of the scheme is that the cavity decay rate must be much smaller than the two mechanical frequencies and their difference. Here we show that the entanglement can be remarkably enhanced, and the validity of the scheme can be largely extended, by adding a coherent feedback loop that effectively reduces the cavity decay rate.

Markov Quantum Feedback Control Based on Homodyne Measurement of a Two-Qubit System

Jing Zhu

We consider the system consisting of two qubits collectively damped,with the output being unit-efficiency measured and subsequently fed back to control the system state.Our primary goal in this paper is (ⅰ) to solve the feedback-modified master equation,(ⅱ) to demonstrate the ability of feedback control based on the solutions,and (ⅲ) to pick out different steady states by choosing different driving strengths and feedback strengths to counteract the effects of both damping and the measurement back-action on the system.We further investigate some properties of the equilibrium steady state,its distribution probability and entanglement vs.the driving and feedback amplitudes.We find that in our feedback model feedback plays a negative role in producing entanglement.

Distributed entanglement induced by dissipative bosonic media

Li-Tuo Shen, Xin-Yu Chen, Zhen-Biao Yang +2 more

We describe a scheme with analytic result that allows to generate steady-state entanglement for two atoms over a dissipative bosonic medium. The resonant coupling between the mediating bosonic mode and cavity modes produces three collective atomic decay channels. This dissipative dynamics, together with the unitary process induced by classical microwave fields, drives the two atoms to the symmetric or asymmetric entangled steady state conditional upon the choice of the phases of the microwave fields. The effects on the steady-state entanglement of off-resonance mediating bosonic modes are analyzed. The entanglement can be obtained with high fidelity regardless of the initial state and there is a linear relation in the scaling of the fidelity with the cooperativity parameter. The fidelity is insensitive to the fluctuation of the Rabi frequencies of the classical driving fields.

Entanglement created by spontaneously generated coherence

Zhao-Hong Tang, Gao‐xiang Li, Z. Ficek

We propose a scheme that is able to generate on demand a steady-state entanglement between two nondegenerate cavity modes. The scheme relies on the interaction of the cavity modes with driven two- or three-level atoms, which act as a coupler to build entanglement between the modes. We show that, in the limit of a strong driving, it is crucial for the generation of entanglement between the modes to imbalance populations of the dressed states of the driven atomic transition. In the case of a three-level $V$-type atom, we find that a stationary entanglement can be created on demand by tuning the Rabi frequency of the driving field to the difference between the atomic transition frequencies. The resulting degeneracy of the energy levels, together with the spontaneously generated coherence, generate a steady-state entanglement between the cavity modes. It is shown that the condition for the maximal entanglement coincides with the collapse of the atomic system into a pure trapping state. We also show that the creation of entanglement depends strongly on the mutual polarization of the transition atomic dipole moments.
