Controlling quantum discord dynamics in cavity QED systems by applying a classical driving field with phase decoherence

We investigate a two-level atom interacting with a quantized cavity field and a classical driving field in the presence of phase decoherence and find that a stationary quantum discord can arise in the interaction of the atom and cavity field as the time turns to infinity.We also find that the stationary quantum discord can be increased by applying a classical driving field.Furthermore,we explore the quantum discord dynamics of two identical non-interacting two-level atoms independently interacting with a quantized cavity field and a classical driving field in the presence of phase decoherence.Results show that the quantum discord between two atoms is more robust than entanglement under phase decoherence and the classical driving field can help to improve the amount of quantum discord of the two atoms.     

Dynamics of quantum discord in two Tavis-Cummings models with classical driving fields

We investigate the dynamics of quantum discord in a system consisting of two Tavis-Cummings models, each of which contains two atoms driven by a classical field. We compare the dynamics of quantum discord for the system with that of entanglement and show that quantum discord vanishes only asymptotically although entanglement disappears suddenly during the time evolution. Furthermore, we examine the influence of the initial states and the classical field on the discord dynamics and find that the value of quantum discord can be improved by adjusting the classical driving field. Finally, the quantum discord of two atoms in dissipative cavity is also discussed.     

Modified Jaynes-Cummings systems and a quantum algorithm for the knapsack problem

Dynamics of a system of two-level atoms interacting simultaneously with classical and quantized modes are analyzed. Both atom and cavity are assumed to interact with classical fields. The possibility of using this system as a quantum computer that solves the knapsack problem is discussed.     

Enhancing entanglement generation of two atoms in a cavity with white noise using classical driving fields

We investigate the entanglement dynamics of a quantum system consisting of two two-level atoms in a cavity with classical driving fields in the presence of white noise.The cavity is initially prepared in the vacuum state.Generally,the entanglement of two atoms decreases with the intensity of the thermal fields and the coupling strength of the two-level atoms to the thermal fields.However,we find that the entanglement of the quantum system can be enhanced by adjusting the frequency and the strength of the classical driving fields in the presence of white noise.     

Investigations of information quantifiers for the Tavis–Cummings model

In this article, a system of two two-level atoms interacting with a single-mode quantized electromagnetic field in a lossless resonant cavity via a multi-photon transition is considered. The quantum Fisher information, negativity, classical Fisher information, and reduced von Neumann entropy for the two atoms are investigated. We found that the number of photon transitions plays an important role in the dynamics of different information quantifiers in the cases of two symmetric and two asymmetric atoms. Our results show that there is a close relationship between the different quantifiers. Also, the quantum and classical Fisher information can be useful for studying the properties of quantum states which are important in quantum optics and information.     

Enhancement of stationary state quantum discord in Tavis-Cummings model by nonlinear Kerr-like medium

We investigate the influence of nonlinear Kerr-like medium and dipole-dipole interaction on the dynamics of quantum discord in Tavis-Cummings model with phase decoherence. We show that in the resonance case (i) atom-field quantum discord rapidly decays with phase decoherence and doesn't exist the stationary state quantum discord, but the stationary state quantum discord appears if we choose the suitable values of Kerr coefficient χ and dipole-dipole interaction Ω, (ii) the quantum discord of two atoms survives in the stationary state and the amount of stationary state quantum discord could be improved by adjusting the values of χ and Ω. In the non-resonance case, the arbitrary bipartite quantum discord of the system could not be completely destroyed by the phase decoherence and can be improved by applying nonlinear Kerr-like medium and dipole-dipole interaction.     

A modern review of the two-level approximation

The paradigm of the two-level atom is revisited and its perturbative analysis is discussed in view of the principle of duality in perturbation theory. The models we consider are a two-level atom and an ensemble of two-level atoms both interacting with a single radiation mode. The aim is to see how the latter can be actually used as an amplifier of quantum fluctuations to the classical level through the thermodynamic limit of a very large ensemble of two-level atoms [M. Frasca, Phys. Lett. A 283 (2001) 271] and how can remove Schrödinger cat states. The thermodynamic limit can be very effective for producing both classical states and decoherence on a quantum system that evolves without dissipation. Decoherence without dissipation is indeed an effect of a single two-level atom interacting with an ensemble of two-level atoms, a situation that proves to be useful to understand recent experiments on nanoscale devices showing unexpected disappearance of quantum coherence at very low temperatures.     

Quantum discord between two moving two-level atoms

Considering a double JC model, this paper investigates the quantum discord dynamics of two isolated moving two-level atoms each interacting with a single-mode thermal cavity field, and studies the effect of the atomic motion and the field-mode structure on quantumdiscord. The results show that, on the one hand the quantum discord evolves periodically with time and the periods are affected by the atomic motion and the field-mode structure; on the other hand, the quantum discord still can capture the quantum correlation between the two atoms when the entanglement is zero. It is interesting to note that the quantum discord can be effectively preserved by controlling the field-mode structure parameter

Entropy squeezing for a two-level atom in two-mode Raman coupled model with intrinsic decoherence

In this paper, we investigate the entropy squeezing for a two-level atom interacting with two quantized fields through Raman coupling. We obtain the dynamical evolution of the total system under the influence of intrinsic decoherence when the two quantized fields are prepared in a two-mode squeezing vacuum state initially. The effects of the field squeezing factor, the two-level atomic transition frequency, the second field frequency and the intrinsic decoherence on the entropy squeezing are discussed. Without intrinsic decoherence, the increase of field squeezing factor can break the entropy squeezing. The two-level atomic transition frequency changes only the period of oscillation but not the strength of entropy squeezing. The influence of the second field frequency is complicated. With the intrinsic decoherence taken into consideration, the results show that the stronger the intrinsic decoherence is, the more quickly the entropy squeezing will disappear. The increase of the atomic transition frequency can hasten the disappearance of entropy squeezing.     

Controlling entanglement sudden death in cavity QED by classical driving fields

We investigate the entanglement dynamics of a quantum system consisting of two-level atoms interacting with vacuum or thermal fields with classical driving fields. We find that the entanglement of the system can be improved by adjusting the classical driving field. The influence of the classical field and the purity of the initial state on the entanglement sudden death is also studied. It is shown that the time of entanglement sudden death can be controlled by the classical driving fields. Particularly, the entanglement sudden death phenomenon will disappear if the classical driving fields are strong enough.     

Shortcut-based quantum gates on superconducting qubits in circuit QED

Construction of optimal gate operations is significant for quantum computation. Here an efficient scheme is proposed for performing shortcut-based quantum gates on superconducting qubits in circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED). Two four-level artificial atoms of Cooper-pair box circuits, having sufficient level anharmonicity, are placed in a common quantized field of circuit QED and are driven by individual classical microwaves. Without the effect of cross resonance, one-qubit NOT gate and phase gate in a decoupled atom can be implemented using the invariant-based shortcuts to adiabaticity. With the assistance of cavity bus, a one-step SWAP gate can be obtained within a composite qubit-photon-qubit system by inversely engineering the classical drivings. We further consider the gate realizations by adjusting the microwave fields. With the accessible decoherence rates, the shortcut-based gates have high fidelities. The present strategy could offer a promising route towards fast and robust quantum computation with superconducting circuits experimentally.     

Entanglement of Two Atoms Induced by a Fock State of Radiation Field

Considering the intrinsic decoherence proposed by Milburn, we investigate the entanglement between two two-level atoms induced by a Fock state of single-mode quantized radiation field. The time-dependent reduced density matrix of the atoms system is given explicitly. Due to the intrinsic decoherence, the atoms system will approach a stationary state, where the stationary entanglement depends on the initial states of the field and the atoms.

Quantum Entanglement and Quantum Discord of a Two-Qubit System in a Dissipative Cavity

The goal of this work is to investigate quantum entanglement and quantum discord of a pair of two-level atoms which is driven by an external classical field and interacts with a cavity field. After extracting density matrix of the atom-atom subsystem, it is shown that we have stronger quantum discord by increasing atom-field coupling constant for the case in which there is no entanglement. Moreover, for the atom-atom subsystem it is realized that quantum entanglement and quantum discord cannot increase, they decrease after passing some times due to cavity dissipation. Also quantum entanglement and quantum discord decrease faster by increasing atom-field coupling constant.     

Dynamics of atom-field entanglement in a bimodal cavity

In this paper we investigate some aspects of the dynamics and entanglement of bipartite quantum system (atom-quantized field), coupled to a third “external” subsystem (quantized field). We make use of the Raman coupled model; a three-level atom in a lambda configuration interacting with two modes of the quantized cavity field. We consider the far off resonance limit, which allows the derivation of an effective Hamiltonian of a two-level atom coupled to the fields. We also make a comparison with the situation in which one of the modes is treated classically rather than prepared in a quantum field (coherent state).
