Interpreting concurrence in terms of covariances in a generalized spin star system

Abstract

The quantum dynamics of M pairwise coupled spin 1/2 is analyzed and the time evolution of the entanglement get established within a prefixed couple of spins is studied. A conceptual and quantitative link between the concurrence function and measurable quantities is brought to light providing a physical interpretation for the concurrence itself as well as a way to measure it. A generalized spin star system is exactly investigated showing that the entanglement accompanying its rich dynamics is traceable back to the covariance of appropriate commuting observables of the two spins.

Interpreting concurrence in terms of covariances in spin systems

F Palumbo, Anna Napoli, ANTONINO MESSINA

A conceptual and quantitative link between the concurrence function and measurable quantities is brought to light in a system composed of M pairwise coupled spins . As a consequence, a physical interpretation for the concurrence itself as well as a way to measure it is provided. We illustrate our theory exactly investigating a generalized spin star system, showing that the spin?spin entanglement evolution is traceable back to the covariance time behavior of appropriate commuting observables of the two spins.

Quantum Correlations in a Generalized Spin Star System

F Palumbo, Anna Napoli, Antonio Messina

The problem of detecting quantum signatures in the correlations formed in dynamical evolution of quantum bipartite systems receives a lot of attention in current literature. Generally speaking, the occurrence of correlations between two observables of a system does not necessarily reflect nonclassical behaviour. In this paper, the exact dynamics of a pair of uncoupled spins 1/2 interacting with a common spin 1/2 bath is investigated. Starting from a separable initial condition, the ability of the system to develop purely quantum correlations is brought to light. Physical interpretation of the concurrence function as well as a suggestion on how to measure it are given.

An exactly solvable model for the dynamics of two spin-\frac{1}{2} particles embedded in separate spin star environments

Yamen Hamdouni

Exact analytical results for the dynamics of two interacting qubits, each of which is embedded in its own spin star bath, are presented. The time evolution of the concurrence and the purity of the two-qubit system are investigated for finite and infinite numbers of environmental spins. The effect of qubit–qubit interactions on the steady state of the central system is investigated.

Quenched dynamics of entangled states in correlated quantum dots

N. S. Maslova, P. I. Arseyev, Vladimir N. Mantsevich

The time evolution of an initially prepared entangled state in the system of coupled quantum dots has been analyzed by means of two different theoretical approaches: equations of motion for all orders localized electron correlation functions, considering interference effects, and kinetic equations for the pseudoparticle occupation numbers with constraint on the possible physical states. Results obtained by means of different approaches were carefully analyzed and compared to each other. Revealing a direct link between concurrence (degree of entanglement) and quantum dots pair correlation functions allowed us to follow the changes of entanglement during the time evolution of the coupled quantum dots system. It was demonstrated that the degree of entanglement can be controllably tuned during the time evolution of quantum dots system.

Entanglement evolution of a spin-chain bath coupled to a quantum spin

Zhihui Wang, Bing-Shen Wang, Zhao-Bin Su

For an electron spin in coupling with an interacting spin chain via hyperfine-type interaction, we investigate the dynamical evolutions of the pairwise entanglement of the spin chain, and a correlation function joined the electron spin with a pair of chain spins in correspondence to the electron-spin coherence evolution. Both quantities manifest a periodic and a decaying evolution. The entanglement of the spin bath is significant in distinguishing the zero-coherence status exhibited in periodic and decoherence evolutions of the electron spin. The periodical concurrence evolution of the spin bath characterizes the whole system in a coherence-preserving phase, particularly for the case that the associated periodic coherence evolution is predominated by zero value in the infinite chain-length limit, which was often regarded as the realization of decoherence.

Evolution of pairwise entanglement in a coupled n -body system

Carlos Pineda, T. H. Seligman

We study the exact evolution of two noninteracting qubits, initially in a Bell state, in the presence of an environment, modeled by a kicked Ising spin chain. Dynamics of this model range from integrable to chaotic and we can handle numerics for a large number of qubits. We find that the entanglement (as measured by concurrence) of the two qubits has a close relation to the purity of the pair, and closely follows an analytic relation derived for Werner states. As a collateral result we find that an integrable environment causes quadratic decay of concurrence as well as of purity, while a chaotic environment causes linear decay. Both quantities display recurrences in an integrable environment.
