Properties on the distant distribution of entanglement for arbitrary two-qubit pure states via noisy quantum channels

This paper investigates the change of entanglement for transmitting an arbitrarily entangled two-qubit pure state via one of three typical kinds of noisy quantum channels: amplitude damping quantum channel, phase damping quantum channel and depolarizing quantum channel. It finds, in all these three cases, that the output distant entanglement (measured by concurrence) reduces proportionately with respect to its initial amount, and the decaying ratio is determined only by the noisy characteristics of quantum channels and independent of the form of initial input state.     

Dynamics of entanglement under decoherence in noninertial frames

In this paper,we investigate the entanglement dynamics of a two-qubit entangled state coupled with its noisy environment,and plan to utilize weak measurement and quantum reversal measurement to study the entanglement dynamics under different decoherence channels in noninertial frames.Through the calculations and analyses,it is shown that the weak measurement can prevent entanglement from coupling to the amplitude damping channel,while the system is under the phase damping and flip channels.This protection protocol cannot prevent entanglement but will accelerate the death of entanglement.In addition,if the system is in the noninertial reference frame,then the effect of weak measurement will be weakened for the amplitude damping channel.Nevertheless,for other decoherence channels,the Unruh effect does not affect the quantum weak measurement,the only exception is that the maximum value of entanglement is reduced to√2/2of the original value in the inertial frames.     

多粒子纠缠的保护方案

量子纠缠是量子信息的重要物理资源. 然而当量子系统与环境相互作用时, 会不可避免地产生消相干导致纠缠下降, 因此保护纠缠不受环境的影响具有重要意义. 振幅衰减是一种典型的衰减机制. 如果探测环境保证没有激发从系统中流出, 即视为对系统的一种弱测量. 本文基于局域脉冲序列和弱测量, 提出了一种可以保护多粒子纠缠不受振幅衰减影响的有效物理方案, 保护的对象是在量子通信和量子计算中发挥重要作用的Cluster态和Maximal slice态.     

Entanglement Swapping in the Presence of White and Color Noise

The influence of white and color noise on the outcome of the entanglement swapping process is investigated in a four-qubit system. Critical degree of noise in initial state, that could destroy entanglement in a result state is presented. The entanglement characteristics, such as concurrence, tangle, etc. are compared. Results could be helpful for experiments regarding entanglement swapping as conditions for initial quantum entangled states, to obtain entangled result state.     

Robustness of Entanglement During Decoherence

Finding the most robust entangled states during the whole process of decoherence is a particularly fundamental problem for quantum physics and quantum information processing. In this paper, the decoherence process of two-qubit system under two individual identical decoherence channels is investigated systematically. We find that although the robustness of two-qubit states with same initial entanglement is usually different, the Bell-like states are always the most robust entangled states during decoherence. That is to say, affected by the same amount of noise, the remain entanglement of an arbitrary two-qubit state is not more than that of a Bell-like state with the same initial entanglement.     

Protecting Distribution Entanglement by Weak Measurement and Reversal under Various Decoherence Sources

Protection of entanglement from disturbance of the environment is an essential task marion processing. We examine the validity and limitation of the weak measurement and reversal in quantum infor- （WMR） operation in the protection of distributed entanglement from various decoherence sources. Since the entanglement variation can be investigated analytically for an arbitrarily entangled bipartite pure state under three kinds of typical noisy quantum channels, we show explicitly that the WMR operation indeed helps for protecting distributed entanglement from ampli- tude damping and phase damping, but not for depolarizing. Bxperimental feasibility for testing our results is discussed using current laboratory techniques.     

Sudden birth versus sudden death of entanglement for the extended Werner-like state in a dissipative environment

In this paper, we investigate the dynamical behaviour of entanglement in terms of concurrence in a bipartite system subjected to an external magnetic field under the action of dissipative environments in the extended Werner-like initial state. The interesting phenomenon of entanglement sudden death as well as sudden birth appears during the evolution process. We analyse in detail the effect of the purity of the initial entangled state of two qubits via Heisenberg XY interaction on the apparition time of entanglement sudden death and entanglement sudden birth. Furthermore, the conditions on the conversion of entanglement sudden death and entanglement sudden birth can be generalized when the initial entangled state is not pure. In particular, a critical purity of the initial mixed entangled state exists, above which entanglement sudden birth vanishes while entanglement sudden death appears. It is also noticed that stable entanglement, which is independent of different initial states of the qubits (pure or mixed state), occurs even in the presence of decoherence. These results arising from the combination of the extended Werner-like initial state and dissipative environments suggest an approach to control and enhance the entanglement even after purity induced sudden birth, death and revival.     

Entanglement Dynamics and Bell Violations of Two Atoms in Tavis-Cummings Model with Phase Decoherence

Considering the dipole-dipole coupling intensity between two atoms and the field in the Fock state, the entanglement dynamics between two atoms that are initially entangled in the system of two two-level atoms coupled to a single mode cavity in the presence of phase decoherence has been investigated. The two-atom entanglement appears with periodicity without considering phase decoherence, however, the phase decoherence causes the decay of entanglement between two atoms, with the increasing of the phase decoherence coefficient, the entanglement will quickly become a constant value, which is affected by the two-atom initial state. Meanwhile the two-atom quantum state will forever stay in the maximal entangled state when the initial state is proper even in the presence of phase decoherence. On the other hand, the Bell violation and the entanglement do not satisfy the monotonous relation, a large Bell violation implies the presence of a large amount of entanglement under certain conditions, while a large Bell violation corresponds to a little amount of entanglement in certain situations. However, the violation of Bell-CHSH inequality can reach the maximal value if two atoms are in the maximal entangled state, or vice versa.     

在有限温度下运用弱测量保护量子纠缠

根据单量子比特的映射, 提出一个在有限温度下运用弱测量保护两量子比特纠缠的方案. 在两个可通过局域幺正变化实现的等价的初始纠缠进入广义振幅阻尼信道前后, 对其分别进行弱测量, 并对四个弱测量的参数做全面的优化, 获取最大共生纠缠C_r 和弱测量参数m, n的解析表达式, 然后再进一步研究弱测量参数与信道参数的关系. 发现这种基于弱测量的纠缠保护方法在某些情况下可以有效地提高纠缠, 甚至可以避免纠缠的突然死亡. 当信道参数r一定时, 对不同的参数p,初始态|ψ>纠缠达到最大值时对应的弱测量参数m的取值一样, 共生纠缠关于p=0.5对称, 而初始态|φ>对应的参数m的取值不同; 在参数p一定、参数r不同、初始态|ψ>或|φ>的情况下, 当纠缠度取最大值时, 弱测量参数m的取值不变, 且随着r的增加, 纠缠度减少. 通过对信道参数的分析, 发现可以选择合适的信道参数和初始态来获得较大的纠缠.

Entanglement evolution and transfer in a double Tavis--Cumming model in cavity QED

We have studied entanglement evolution and transfer in a double Tavis--Cumming model where two pairs of entangled two-level atoms AB and CD interact with two single-mode cavity fields a and b. We show that the Bell-like initial state of atoms AB can exhibit entanglement sudden death which should be independent of the initial entanglement of atoms CD. Also, we show that the initial entanglement of one atomic pair can be transferred into another pair, as well as the possible subsystems, that become entangled during evolution.     

Time evolution law of a two-mode squeezed light field passing through twin diffusion channels

We explore the time evolution law of a two-mode squeezed light field(pure state)passing through twin diffusion channels,and we find that the final state is a squeezed chaotic light field(mixed state)with entanglement,which shows that even though the two channels are independent of each other,since the two modes of the initial state are entangled with each other,the final state remains entangled.Nevertheless,although the squeezing(entanglement)between the two modes is weakened after the diffusion,it is not completely removed.We also highlight the law of photon number evolution.In the calculation process used in this paper,we make full use of the summation method within the ordered product of operators and the generating function formula for two-variable Hermite polynomials.

双模纠缠态是量子信息领域一种重要的量子资源,本文基于四波混频过程从理论上提出了对双模纠缠态的单个模式(单模放大方案)和对双模纠缠态的两个模式(双模放大方案)的放大.利用光学分束器模型来模拟在光学传输过程中损耗引入的真空场噪声,利用部分转置正定判据分析了两种不同的放大方案中四波混频过程的增益对初始双模纠缠态的纠缠程度的影响.结果表明,在特定的损耗情况下,两个方案中初始双模纠缠态的纠缠度都随增益的增大而减小,直至消失,且双模放大方案中初始双模纠缠态纠缠消失得比单模放大方案中更快.本文的理论结果为实验上实现基于四波混频过程的双模纠缠态的放大奠定了理论基础.     

A study on entanglement dynamics for a four-qubit model

In this paper, we consider the entanglement dynamics of a four-qubit model [2006 Phys. Rev. A 74 042328] where two entangled qubits a and b locally interact with separate qubits A and B via the spin-exchange-like Hamiltonian. We study the effect of purity of initial entangled state of qubits a, b on the entanglement evolution and its relation with energy transfer. Also, we find that the total bipartite entanglement of qubits a, b plus A, B is not a constant any longer when the initial entangled state of a, b is not pure, which is a complement to the result in the paper [2007 J. Phys. B 40 S45] for the pure case.

We show that both the pure entangled state and mixed entangled state can be transferred. For some special coupling constants and some evolution time, entanglement can be completely transferred from one pair particles to another.
