Nonlocal Correlations of Moving Three-level Atoms in Photon-added Squeezed Thermal States

We investigate nonlocal correlations between a three-level atom and the optical field initially being in the photon-added squeezed thermal state. We examine the effect of the squeezing parameter and the number of added photons to the squeezed thermal field on the entanglement during the time evolution. We show that the entanglement can be enhanced by increasing the number of added photons and the squeezing parameter for moving and nonmoving three-level atoms. We present a useful way to generate and restrain a large amount of entanglement by increasing the number of added photons when the atomic motion is described by the atomic velocity.     

Physical Properties,Field Purity,and Quantum Phase for a Two-Level Atom in Photon-Added Coherent States for the Morse Potential

In this paper, we consider a two-level atom (TLA) interacting with a field mode, which is initially in the photon-added coherent state for the Morse potential (PACSMP). We investigate the dynamical behavior of quantum entropy, the geometric phase, and the Mandel parameter and discuss the statistical and nonclassical properties of the field with regards to its PACSMP through the evolution of the Mandel parameter. We examine the effects of the number of added photons, the initial-state setting, and the Morse-potential parameters. We establish the relationship between the field purity, nonclassical properties, and geometric phase of the system state during the time evolution. The results show that the numbers of added photons and CSMP strength have the potential to affect the time evolution of the field purity, the geometric phase, and the Mandel parameter. We explore some important physical phenomena such as sudden death and sudden birth of the nonlocal correlation between TLA and field systems.

Geometric Phase and Entanglement of a Three-Level Atom With and Without Rotating Wave Approximation

In this paper, we study the dynamics of entanglement between three-level atom and optical field, initially prepared in the squeezed coherent state. We discuss the dynamical behavior of the geometric phase and entanglement, measured by the von Neumann entropy, with and without rotating wave approximation during the time of evolution. The effect of the squeezing and detuning parameters on the evolution of entanglement and geometric phase will be examined. We find that the squeezing and detuning parameters play a central role on the evolution of the geometric phase and nonlocal correlation between the field and the three-level atom. Moreover, we show that the dynamics of the system in the presence of rotating wave approximation has a richer structure compared with the absence of rotating wave approximation.

Robustness investigations on quantum entanglement and quantum discord of coupled qubits in squeezed vacuum reservoir

We investigate the quantum discord of coupled qubits in squeezed vacuum reservoir and compare it with the quantum entanglement of system. We find that the quantum discord and entanglement perform completely oppositely with the change of squeezed parameters. Quantum discord survives longer with the increase of squeezed amplitude parameter and entanglement death faster on the contrary. Under high squeezed amplitude parameter, the quantum discord can keep nonzero which indicate that the quantum discord is more robust than entanglement. We also find that the purity reduction of the initial quantum state will lead to the decay of concurrence or quantum discord. However, the quantum discord damps remarkably more slowly and survives longer than concurrence.     

Quantification of Quantum Entanglement in a Multiparticle System of Two-Level Atoms Interacting with a Squeezed Vacuum State of the Radiation Field

We quantify multiparticle quantum entanglement in a system of N two-level atoms interacting with a squeezed vacuum state of the electromagnetic field. We calculate the amount of quantum entanglement present among one hundred such two-level atoms and also show the variation of that entanglement with the radiation field parameter. We show the continuous variation of the amount of quantum entanglement as we continuously increase the number of atoms from N = 2 to N = 100. We also discuss that the multiparticle correlations among the N two-level atoms are made up of all possible bipartite correlations among the N atoms.     

一种生成质量最优路径纠缠微波信号的压缩参量选择方法

介绍了路径纠缠微波及其生成原理,将生成信号以量子力学算符的形式表示,并在光子数态表象下展开,定性地给出了生成信号与压缩参量之间的关系.提出了一种路径纠缠微波信号质量评价方法,即通过信号中纠缠微波光子总数的期望值表征信号的纠缠度,间接实现对信号质量的评价.基于这种信号质量评价方法,提出了一种生成质量最优路径纠缠微波信号的压缩参量选取方法:在近似确定有效纠缠微波光子数的前提下,找出生成不同微波光子数纠缠概率最大时的一组压缩参量值,进而得出各个压缩参量值所对应的一组纠缠微波光子总数的期望值,其中的最大值对应的压缩参量值即为生成质量最优信号所要选择的压缩参量值.通过理论分析,发现路径纠缠微波信号质量由压缩参量决定,且只与压缩幅有关,而与压缩角无关.仿真实验结果表明,在纠缠微波光子数的最大有效值取为"26"时,纠缠微波光子总数期望值的最大值对应的压缩幅值为1.77,即压缩幅取此值时所得到的路径纠缠微波信号质量最佳,仿真结果表明该方法是有效的.本文的研究为路径纠缠微波在实验研究和实际应用中如何生成高质量信号的问题提供了思路.     

Entanglement and nonclassicality evolution of the atom in a squeezed vacuum

As an important parameter, von Neumann entropy has been used to characterize the entanglement between atom and light field. We discussed the entanglement and nonclassicality evolution of an atom in a squeezed vacuum—a typical nonclassical field, and compare it with that of the coherent state. It shows that the atom-field entanglement in squeezed vacuum is much stronger and stabler than that in coherent state, whereas the nonclassicality of the light field depends on its initial status. This investigation is trying to find a new insight into the relation between entanglement of atom-field system and nonclassicality of light fields. The result shows that the entanglement between the atom and the field can be maintained well in the squeezed vacuum and this implies better control of atom and photon mutually.

Entanglement and Quantum Discord Dynamics of Two Atoms in a Broadband Squeezed Vacuum Bath

We study the dynamics of entanglement and quantum discord between two two-level atoms that interact with a common squeezed reservoir. It is shown that the degree of entanglement and quantum discord are very sensitive to the degree of two-photon correlation for large values of the mean photon number. The squeezed vacuum environment can drive the system to a stationary state with high entanglement and quantum discord for certain X-type states. Furthermore, sudden change happens to the dynamics of quantum discord while the entanglement is remained almost unchanged.     

Generation of Entanglement Between Two Noninteracting Qubits via Interaction with Nonclassical Radiation Field

We study the interaction between a single-mode quantized field and a quantum system composed of two qubits. We suppose that two qubits initially be prepared in the mixed and separable state, and study how entanglement between two qubits arises in the course of evolution according to the Jaynes-Cummings type interaction with nonclassical radiation field. We also investigate the relation between entanglement and purity of qubit subsystem. We show that different photon statistics have different effects on the dynamical behavior of the qubit subsystem. When the qubits are initially prepared in the maximally mixed and separable state, for coherent state field we cannot find entanglement between two qubits; for squeezed state field entanglement between two qubits exists in several short period of time; for even and odd coherent state fields of large photon number, the dynamical behavior of the entanglement between two qubits shows collapse and revival phenomenon. For odd coherent state field of small photon number, the entanglement with both qubits initially prepared in maximally mixed state can be stronger than that with both qubits initially prepared in pure states. For fields of small photon number, the entanglement strongly depends on the states they are initially prepared in. For coherent state field, and odd and even coherent state fields of large photon number, the entanglement only depends on the purity of the initial state of qubit subsystem. We also show that during the evolution the unentangled state may be purer than the entangled state, and the maximum degree of entanglement may not occur at the time when the qubit subsystem is in the purist state.

Modulation of entanglement and quantum discord for circuit cavity QED states

The paper investigates the dynamic evolution behaviors of entanglement and quantum discord of coupled superconducting qubits in circuit QED system. We put emphasis on the effects of cavity field quantum state on quantum entanglement and quantum correlations dynamic behaviors of coupling superconducting qubits. The results show that, (1) generally speaking, the entanglement will appear the death and new birth because of the interaction between qubits and cavity field, on the contrary, this phenomenon will not appear in quantum discord. (2) When the cavity field is in coherent state, the entanglement survival time is controlled by the average photon number. The more the average photon number is, the longer survival time of entanglement is prolonged. Thus it has the benefit of keeping quantum correlations. (3) When the cavity field is in squeezed state, the squeezed amplitude parameters have controlling effects on quantum correlations including entanglement and quantum discord. On the one hand, the increase of squeezed amplitude parameters can prolong the survival time of entanglement, on the other hand, with the increase of squeezed amplitude parameters, the robustness of quantum discord is more and more superior to concurrence and is more advantage to keep the system quantum correlations. The further study results show that the increase of the initial relative phase of coupling superconducting qubits can also keep the quantum correlations.

Optical enhanced interferometry with two-mode squeezed twin-Fock states and parity detection

We theoretically investigate the quantum enhanced metrology using two-mode squeezed twin-Fock states and parity detection. Our results indicate that, for a given initial squeezing parameter, compared with the two-mode squeezed vacuum state, both phase sensitivity and resolution can be enhanced when the two-mode squeezed twin-Fock state is considered as an input state of a Mach–Zehnder interferometer. Within a constraint on the total photon number, although the two-mode squeezed vacuum state gives the better phase sensitivity when the phase shift φ to be estimated approaches to zero, the phase sensitivity offered by these non-Gaussian entangled Gaussian states is relatively stable with respect to the phase shift itself. When the phase shift slightly deviates from φ= 0, the phase sensitivity can be still enhanced by the two-mode squeezed twin-Fock state over a broad range of the total mean photon number where the phase uncertainty is still below the quantum standard noise limit. Finally, we numerically prove that the quantum Cramer–Rao bound can be approached with the parity detection.

Entanglement dynamics for a solid polariton system at zero and finite temperatures

The dynamics of the entanglement for a solid polariton system is investigated. The polariton system is a photon-phonon complex and its time-dependent characteristic function in the Wigner representation for the system is obtained analytically. It is found that when the photon field is initially prepared in the squeezed vacuum state, and the phonon in the thermal state, the polariton system can evolve into a two-mode Gaussian mixed state. The entanglement between photon and phonon turns out to be apparently dependent on the squeezing parameter and exhibits a critical behavior with respect to the temperature.
