Entanglement generation in trapped atoms

The two atoms in the ion trap are entangled by the interaction with an external excited atom. The evolution of the entanglement is analytically derived without the decoherence. Considering the spontaneous decay from the environment, the evolution of the entanglement is similar to the damping Rabi oscillation. The generation of entanglement is induced by the dipole-dipole type interaction of atoms. It is found that the entanglement of two trapped atoms is robust with the uniform interaction with the external atom. The collective spontaneous emission from the coupling between the atoms may enhance the entanglement.

Quantum correlations in a system of two two-level atoms

The dynamics of appearance of a steady entangled state in an ensemble of two collectively decaying two-level atoms is studied on the basis of the Peres-Horodecki criterion with regard to the dipole-dipole interaction between the atoms and their frequency detuning. It is ascertained that, in the absence of dipole-dipole interaction, the steady-state entanglement is in many respects due to the coincidence of the frequencies of transitions in the atoms, whereas a difference in the frequencies, related to different positions of the atoms in a crystal or their thermal motion, destroys the steady-state entanglement. Upon a dipole-dipole interaction, a steady-state entanglement also exists and, in this case, depends strongly on the relationship between the magnitude of the dipole-dipole interaction, the constant of coupling with a thermostat, and the phase of the resonance wave; the entanglement appears only when the thermostat coupling constant is dominant.

Dynamical creation of entanglement versus disentanglement in a system of three-level atoms with vacuum-induced coherences

The dynamics of entanglement between three-level atoms coupled to the common vacuum is investigated. We show that the collective effects such as collective damping, dipole-dipole interaction and the cross coupling between orthogonal dipoles, play a crucial role in the process of creation of entanglement. In particular, the additional cross coupling enhances the production of entanglement. For the specific initial states we find that the effect of delayed sudden birth of entanglement, recently invented by Ficek and Tana? [Ficek, R. Tana?, Phys. Rev. A 77 (2008) 054301] in the case of two-level atoms, can also be observed in the system. When the initial state is entangled, the process of spontaneous emission causes destruction of correlations and its disentanglement. We show that the robustness of initial entanglement against the noise can be changed by local operations performed on the state.     

Tunable entanglement sudden death and three-partite entanglement in Tavis-Cummings model with an added nonlinear kerr-like medium

We investigate the entanglement dynamics and the phenomenon of entanglement sudden death in the two-photon Tavis-Cummings model with an added nonlinear kerr-like medium. It is shown that the phenomenon of entanglement sudden death can be controlled by the nonlinear kerr-like medium. Furthermore, the influence of dipole-dipole interaction on entanglement between atoms is also discussed. It is found that the phenomenon of entanglement sudden death can be weakened by the dipole-dipole interaction. Finally, we investigate the influence of kerr medium and dipole-dipole interaction on the three-partite entanglement of the system by making use of the state preparation fidelity.     

非旋波近似下两纠缠原子的纠缠特性

采用了相干态正交化法研究了耦合强度以及偶极相互作用对Tavis-Cummings模型中两原子的纠缠的影响.与旋波近似比较发现,在弱耦合强度下,非旋波近似下两原子间的纠缠与旋波近似下的结果符合得很好,在强耦合区,原子之间的纠缠出现了突然死亡现象.研究同时发现耦合强度越大,原子间处于可分离态的时间越长,表明了原子间处于退纠缠的时间的长短是依赖于原子-光场的耦合强度的.而考虑了偶极相互作用时,随着偶极-偶极相互作用的加强,原子间的纠缠也将被加强.     

Entanglement properties between two atoms in the binomial optical field interacting with two entangled atoms

The temporal evolution of the degree of entanglement between two atoms in a system of the binomial optical field interacting with two arbitrary entangled atoms is investigated. The influence of the strength of the dipole–dipole interaction between two atoms, probabilities of the Bernoulli trial, and particle number of the binomial optical field on the temporal evolution of the atomic entanglement are discussed. The result shows that the two atoms are always in the entanglement state. Moreover, if and only if the two atoms are initially in the maximally entangled state, the entanglement evolution is not affected by the parameters, and the degree of entanglement is always kept as 1.     

控制Tavis-Cummings模型中两原子X态的纠缠突然死亡与突然产生

研究了初态为X态时Tavis-Cummings模型中具有偶极相互作用两原子的纠缠演化特性,在演化过程中,同时号码出现了两原子的纠缠突然死亡(ESD)与突然产生(ESB)两种有趣的现象.详细分析了两原子初始态的纯度、偶极相互作用、光场粒子数对这两种现象出现时间的影响,进一步给出了初始为混态时ESB与ESD的转换条件.计算结果表明,上述系统参量对两原子的纠缠演化、ESB与ESD有重要的影响,偶极相互作用会改变纠缠度的振荡周期,使出现ESD的时间间隔减少;随着初始两原子纠缠纯度的增大,纠缠突然产生以及纠缠突然死亡存在的时间缩短,并且可以提高两原子之间的纠缠;对于特殊的初态,产生了纠缠不变性以及固定的两原子纠缠,该定值受两原子初始状态的纯度控制。     

Different entanglement dynamics and transfer behaviors due to dipole-dipole interaction

We analyze entanglement dynamics and transfer in a system composed of two initially correlated two-level atoms, in which each atom is coupled with another atom interacting with its own reservoir. Considering atomic dipole-dipole interactions, the results show that dipole-dipole interactions restrain the entanglement birth of the reservoirs, and a parametric region of dipole-dipole interaction strength exists in which the maximal entanglement of two initially uncorrelated atoms is reduced. The transfer of entanglement shows obvious different behaviors in two initial Bell-like states.

Quantum Entanglement in a System of Two Spatially Separated Atoms Coupled to the Thermal Reservoir

We study quantum entanglement between two spatially separated atoms coupled to the thermal reservoir. The influences of the initial state of the system, the atomic frequency difference and the mean number of the thermal field on the entanglement are examined. The results show that the maximum of the entanglement obtained with nonidentical atoms is greater than that obtained with identical atoms. The degree of entanglement is progressively decreased with the increase of the thermal noise. Interestingly, the two atoms can be easily entangled even when the two atoms are initially prepared in the most mixed states.

A Theoretical Scheme for Entanglement Transfer under Intensity-Dependent Couplings

We consider a theoretical scheme for entanglement transfer between a two-mode squeezed vacuum field and two initially separable atoms through intensity-dependent couplings. We find that the entanglement transfer between the field and the atoms has an exact period for any given squeezing. We also find that the maximum achievable entanglement of the atomic subsystem is a simple increasing function of r.For sufficiently large squeezing parameter r, it is possible for the atoms to be entangled into a Bell state at half the periodic time points.     

Creation of quantum correlations via the initial classical-mixed states

Using the pseudomode method, we theoretically analyze the creation of quantum correlations between two two-level dipole-dipole interacting atoms coupled with a common structured reservoir with different coupling strengths. Considering certain classes of initial separable-mixed states, we demonstrate that the sudden birth of atomic entanglement as well as the generation of stationary quantum correlations occur. Our results also suggest a possible way to control the occurrence time of entanglement sudden birth and the stationary value of quantum correlations by modifying the initial conditions of states, the dipole-dipole interaction, and the relative coupling strength. These results are helpful for the experimental engineering of entanglement and quantum correlations.
