Abstract

The dynamics of two coupled spins-½ coupled to a spin-bath is studied as an extended model of the Tessieri–Wilkie Hamiltonian. The pair of spins served as an open subsystem is prepared in one of the Bell states and the bath consisting of some spins-½ is in a thermal equilibrium state from the very beginning. It is found that with increasing coupling strength of the bath spins, the bath forms a resonant antiferromagnetic order. The polarization correlation between the two spins of the subsystem and the concurrence of it are recovered to some extent in the isolated subsystem. This suppression of the subsystem decoherence may be used to control the quantum devices in practical applications.

Controllable dynamics of two separate qubits in Bell states

Jun Jing, Zhiguo Lü, Guo-Hong Yang

The dynamics of entanglement and fidelity for a subsystem of two separate spin-$1∕2$ qubits prepared in Bell states is investigated. One of the subsystem qubit labeled $A$ is under the influence of a Heisenberg $XY$ spin bath, while another one labeled $B$ is uncoupled with that. We discuss two cases: (i) the number of bath spins is infinite, $N\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}$, and (ii) $N$ is finite, $N=40$. In both cases, the bath is initially prepared in a thermal equilibrium state. It is shown that the time dependence of the concurrence and the fidelity of the two subsystem qubits can be controlled by tuning the parameters of the spin bath, such as the anisotropic parameter, the temperature, and the coupling strength with qubit $A$. It is interesting to find that the dynamics of the concurrence is independent of four different initial Bell states and that of the fidelity is divided into two groups.

Induced decoherence and entanglement by interacting quantum spin baths

Cheng-Yan Lai, Jo-Tzu Hung, Chung‐Yu Mou +1 more

The reduced dynamics of a single qubit or two qubits coupled to an interacting quantum spin bath modeled by an $XXZ$ spin chain is investigated. By using the method of a time-dependent density matrix renormalization group $(t\text{-DMRG})$, we go beyond the uniform coupling central spin model and nonperturbatively evaluate the induced decoherence and entanglement. It is shown that both the decoherence and the entanglement strongly depend on the phase of the underlying spin bath. We show that in general, spin baths can induce entanglement for an initially disentangled pair of qubits. Furthermore, when the spin bath is in the ferromagnetic phase because the qubits directly couple to the order parameter, the reduced dynamics shows an oscillatory type behavior. On the other hand, only for the paramagnetic and the antiferromagnetic phases do the initially entangled states suffer from an entanglement sudden death. By calculating the concurrence, the finite disentanglement time is mapped out for all of the phases in the phase diagram of the spin bath.

Dynamics of two center spins in a Quantum Heisenberg XY system

Jun Jing, Zhi-Guo Lü

The dynamics of two coupled spins of 1/2 coupled to spin-bath of a quantum Heisenberg XY type \\cite{Breuer, Yuan} is studied. The center pair of spins served as an quantum open subsystem were initially prepared in a Bell state or a product state and the bath consisted of $N$ ($N\\to\\infty$ as the thermodynamic limit) spins-1/2 is in a thermal state at different temperatures from the beginning. Transformed by the Holstein-Primakoff operator, the model will be treated effectively as two spin qubits embedded in a single mode cavity. Then the von-Neumann entropy, z-component summation and the concurrence of the center spins can be determined by a novel polynomial scheme for the time-evolution of quantum systems. It is found that (i) with increasing temperature, the bath plays a more strong destroy effect on the coherence or entanglement of the subsystem; (ii) the larger the coupling strength between the subsystem spins, the less the variation of the initial state; (iii) the stronger the interaction between the subsystem and the bath, the faster the variation of the initial state.

Decoherence and entanglement evolution of two qubits coupled through Heisenberg interactions to a spin bath in thermal equilibrium

Yamen Hamdouni

The decoherence and entanglement dynamics of two interacting qubits coupled through Heisenberg XY interactions to a spin bath in thermal equilibrium are studied. The exact form of the reduced density matrix is derived for finite and infinite numbers of environmental spins. It is shown that decoherence can be minimized at low bath temperatures and strong coupling between the qubits. Some initial product states evolve into entangled ones, initially entangled states lose completely or partially their entanglement. The relation between the fidelity and the concurrence is also investigated.

Decoherence of a single spin coupled to an interacting spin bath

Ning Wu, Nina Fröhling, Xing Xi +4 more

Decoherence of a central spin coupled to an interacting spin bath via inhomogeneous Heisenberg coupling is studied by two different approaches, namely an exact equations of motion (EOMs) method and a Chebyshev expansion technique (CET). By assuming a wheel topology of the bath spins with uniform nearest-neighbor $XX$-type intrabath coupling, we examine the central spin dynamics with the bath prepared in two different types of bath initial conditions. For fully polarized baths in strong magnetic fields, the polarization dynamics of the central spin exhibits a collapse-revival behavior in the intermediate-time regime. Under an antiferromagnetic bath initial condition, the two methods give excellently consistent central spin decoherence dynamics for finite-size baths of $N\ensuremath{\le}14$ bath spins. The decoherence factor is found to drop off abruptly on a short time scale and approach a finite plateau value which depends on the intrabath coupling strength nonmonotonically. In the ultrastrong intrabath coupling regime, the plateau values show an oscillatory behavior depending on whether $N/2$ is even or odd. The observed results are interpreted qualitatively within the framework of the EOM and perturbation analysis. The effects of anisotropic spin-bath coupling and inhomogeneous intrabath bath couplings are briefly discussed. Possible experimental realization of the model in a modified quantum corral setup is suggested.

Coherence of an extended central spin model with a coupled spin bath

Pengcheng Lu, Hailong Shi, Like Cao +4 more

We study an extended central spin model with an isotropic nearest-neighbor spin-exchange interaction among the bath spins. The system is controllable by external magnetic fields applied on the central spin and the bath, respectively. We construct a basis set of the Hilbert space and express the Hamiltonian of the extended model into a series of $2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}2$ block matrices to obtain the exact solution of the model successfully. Therefrom, the coherence and the spin polarization of the central spin are investigated. We find that if the couplings among the bath spins are antiferromagnetic, the central spin has good coherence and polarization at low temperatures. Moreover, the decoherence is greatly suppressed at the critical point where the strengths of the central and the bath magnetic field take the same value. A dephasing phenomenon is identified when the initial state of the central spin is unpolarized.
