Thermal Field and Intrinsic Decoherence Effects on the Dynamics of N-level Moving Atomic System

Dynamical behaviour of Quantum Entanglement (QE) and atomic Quantum Fisher Information (AQFI) for a moving N-level atomic system is studied in a thermal environment. Time evolution of state vector of the entire system interacting with thermal field is calculated numerically in the presence of intrinsic decoherence. It is observed that intrinsic decoherence and thermal environment play dominant role during the time evolution of the quantum system. AQFI and entanglement show an opposite behaviour during its time evolution in the presence of thermal environment. AQFI is observed to be more prone to intrinsic decoherence as compared to the entanglement in a thermal environment. AQFI is found to be more prone to intrinsic decoherence as compared to the QE in a thermal environment. QE is found decaying when the parameter of intrinsic decoherence is increased in the absence of atomic motion. The damping behaviour of QE is observed for longer time-scales. The periodic response of entanglement due to atomic motion becomes moderate under the influence of these environments. The intrinsic decoherence and thermal environment are found to suppress the nonclassical effects of the quantum system. QE and AQFI saturate to a lower level for larger time-scales under the influence of these environments. Furthermore, the dynamics of AQFI and von Neumann entropy (VNE) changes remarkably by changing the mean number of photons.

     

Analysis of mixed state entanglement with intrinsic decoherence

We analyze different entanglement measures for a mixed state two-level system in the presence of intrinsic decoherence. The information about entanglement is obtained by comparing the results for the atomic Wehrl entropy and negativity with the analytical results for a simple case. For the strong decoherence case we find that a similar and long-lived maximum Wehrl entropy and negativity between atom and field are shown. The results highlight the important roles played by both the decoherence parameter and the initial state setting in determining the evolution of the atomic Wehrl entropy and negativity.     

Geometric phase,entanglement, and quantum Fisher information near the saturation point

Considering a collection of two-level atoms in the presence of a saturating monochromatic, steady-state field, we investigate the geometric phase (GP) of an arbitrary medium’s atom. We find that it is possible to detect the saturation of the atomic response by the GP computation. This is an interesting result, because we can predict the collective behaviour of the atomic system—i.e., the saturation of the optical response of the medium- by investigating the GP of a single medium’s atom, described as a qubit. Moreover, we find that the plot of the atomic GP in terms of the detuning Δ$\Delta$ is very similar to the absorption spectrum of the medium. In addition, it is shown that when the intensity of the driving laser field tends to saturation intensity, the qubit approaches maximum correlation with its environment described by the driving field and other qubits in the atomic system. Furthermore, we find that the behaviour of the entanglement is very analogous to that of the GP and the absorption coefficient. Besides, we adopt the atom to estimate the decoherence parameter by using the quantum Fisher information (QFI), an important measure of the information content of quantum states. Interestingly, we find that when the atomic system approaches its saturation point, the QFI decays with increasing the laser intensity, and therefore the parameter estimation becomes more inaccurate.     

Preparation and control of entangled states in the two-mode coherent fields interacting with a moving atom via two-photon process

We investigate the preparation and the control of entangled states in a system with the two-mode coherent fields interacting with a moving two-level atom via the two-photon transition. We discuss entanglement properties between the two-mode coherent fields and a moving two-level atom by using the quantum reduced entropy, and those between the two-mode coherent fields by using the quantum relative entropy. In addition, we examine the influences of the atomic motion and field-mode structure parameter $p$ on the quantum entanglement of the system. Our results show that the period and the duration of the prepared maximal atom-field entangled states and the frequency of maximal two-mode field entangled states can be controlled, and that a sustained entangled state of the two-mode field, which is independent of atomic motion and the evolution time, can be obtained, by choosing appropriately the parameters of atomic motion, field-mode structure, initial state and interaction time of the system.

Quantum Fisher information flow and entanglement in pair coherent states

Realistic quantum systems are the main part of quantum information technology, which causes the rapid destruction of crucial quantum properties. Therefore, the unavoidable interaction between quantum systems, understanding the dynamics of entanglement indicators and finding the correlation between different phenomena may stimulate great interest. In this article the quantum Fisher information and nonlocal correlation between a single qubit and two-mode optical field initially in pair coherent states have investigated. We examine the impact of the qubit motion and intensity dependent function on the flow of quantum Fisher information and quantum entanglement during the time evolution. We discuss the relationship between quantum Fisher information flow and quantum entanglement in the case of moving and unmoving single qubit.

Single-atom entropy squeezing and quantum entanglement in Tavis--Cummings model with atomic motion

We examine the single-atom entropy squeezing and the atom-field entanglement in a system of two moving twolevel atoms interacting with a single-mode coherent field in a lossless resonant cavity.Our numerical calculations indicate that the squeezing period,the squeezing time and the maximal squeezing can be controlled by appropriately choosing the atomic motion and the field-mode structure.The atomic motion leads to a periodical time evolution of entanglement between the two-atom and the field.Moreover,there exists corresponding relation between the time evolution properties of the atomic entropy squeezing and that of the entanglement between the two atoms and the field.     

Two-Qubit Local Fisher Information Correlation beyond Entanglement in a Nonlinear Generalized Cavity with an Intrinsic Decoherence

In this paper, we study a Hamiltonian system constituted by two coupled two-level atoms (qubits) interacting with a nonlinear generalized cavity field. The nonclassical two-qubit correlation dynamics are investigated using Bures distance entanglement and local quantum Fisher information under the influences of intrinsic decoherence and qubit–qubit interaction. The effects of the superposition of two identical generalized coherent states and the initial coherent field intensity on the generated two-qubit correlations are investigated. Entanglement of sudden death and sudden birth of the Bures distance entanglement as well as the sudden changes in local Fisher information are observed. We show that the robustness, against decoherence, of the generated two-qubit correlations can be controlled by qubit–qubit coupling and the initial coherent cavity states.     

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.     

噪声对一种三粒子量子探针态的影响

量子度量学是研究量子测量与统计推断的一门学科,主要利用量子手段来提高参数估计的精度,在量子信息处理与测量中起到关键作用.量子参数估计的一般过程包含四个步骤:探针态的制备、参数化过程、对参数化后的输出态进行测量以及根据测量结果估计待测参数.其中探针态的选取对测量精度起着至关重要的作用.然而在实际的量子探针态的制备过程中,初始探针态会受到环境噪声的影响.目前人们已经研究了W态与Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger(GHZ)态的量子Fisher信息(QFI)在典型噪声通道下的变化行为.由于W态与GHZ态有着不同的纠缠性质,对于W态与GHZ态的叠加态的QFI动力学研究具有重要的实际意义.故此,本文主要研究典型噪声通道对这两种状态的叠加态的QFI动力学行为的影响,得出了QFI随噪声参数的变化行为.结果表明,叠加态中W态组分可明显对抗相位阻尼噪声对探针态的QFI的影响,而其中的GHZ态组分可明显对抗振幅阻尼噪声的影响,从而为在实际环境中选取高精度的参数估计过程提供参考.     

Quantum entanglement between the two-mode fields and atomic entropy squeezing in the system of a moving atom interacting with two-mode entangled coherent field

This paper investigates the entropy squeezing of a moving two-level atom interacting with the two-mode entangled coherent field via two-photon transition by using an entropic uncertainty relation and the degree of entanglement between the two-mode fields by using quantum relative entropy. The results obtained from numerical calculation indicate that the squeezed period, the duration of entropy squeezing and the maximal squeezing can be controlled by appropriately choosing the intensity of the light field, the atomic motion and the field-mode structure. The atomic motion leads to the periodic recovery of the initial maximal degree of entanglement between the two-mode fields. Moreover, there exists a corresponding relation between the time evolution properties of the atomic entropy squeezing and those of the entanglement between the two-mode fields.

Entanglement evaluation with atomic Fisher information

In this paper, the concept of atomic Fisher information (AFI) is introduced. The marginal distributions of the AFI are defined. This quantity is used as a parameter of entanglement and compared with linear and atomic Wehrl entropies of the two-level atom. The evolution of the atomic Fisher information and atomic Wehrl entropy for only the pure state (or dissipation-free) of the Jaynes-Cummings model is analyzed. We demonstrate the connections between these measures.     

Quantum Fisher Information in the Generalized One-axis Twisting Model

We investigate the quantum Fisher information (QFI) of symmetric states for spin-s particles. We derive the maximal QFI, and find that quantum spin correlations are essential ingredients of the maximal QFI. We make applications to the generalized one-axis twisting model. The results show that the redistributions of uncertainties on the basis of the quantum correlations in the multiqubit system are useful for sub-shot-noise phase sensitivity. Furthermore, for high-spin (s>1/2) composite systems, we find a sufficient criterion for entanglement.     

存在相位退相干时原子与光场相互作用的纠缠演化和保持

应用全量子理论研究了存在相位退相干时单模相干光场与一个二能级原子相互作用系统纠缠的时间演化规律;分别讨论了原子—光场耦合常数、光场的平均光子数以及失谐量的大小对场与原子纠缠的影响.结果表明:随着原子—光场耦合常数的增大和光场平均光子数的增加,系统纠缠的振荡频率都会明显增大.不存在相位退相干时,纠缠的时间演化明显受到失谐量的影响,若选取适当的失谐量,系统的纠缠可长时间保持在最大纠缠态.若考虑相位退相干的影响,则在共振情况下系统纠缠的时间演化是一个逐渐衰减的过程,且最终衰减到零;但若存在适当的失谐量,则在初始一段时间内系统的纠缠也是一个波动幅度逐渐衰减的过程,但随着时间的演化,失谐量抵消了相位退相干的影响,使系统的纠缠不再衰减到零.如果增大失谐量,纠缠在初始一段时间内波动的幅度会相应的减小,并且纠缠趋于稳定的时间也随着失谐量的增大而缩短;当失谐量适当时,系统可保持在纠缠相对较大的状态而无消纠缠态.     

Fisher information due to a phase noisy laser under non-Markovian environment

More recently, K. Berrada [Annals of Physics 340 (2014) 60-69] [1] studied the geometric phase of a two-level atom system driven by a phase noise laser under non-Markovian dynamics in terms of different parameters involved in the whole system, and collapse and revival phenomena were found for large class of states. In this paper, using this noise effect, we study the quantum fisher information (QFI) for a two-level atom system driven by a phase noise laser under non-Markovian dynamics. A new quantity, called QFI flow is used to characterize the damping effect and unveil a fundamental connection between non-Markovian behavior and dynamics of system–environment correlations under phase noise laser. It is shown that QFI flow has disappeared suddenly followed by a sudden birth depending on the kind of the environment damping. QFI flow provides an indicator to characterize the dissipative quantum system’s decoherence by analyzing the behavior of the dynamical non-Markovian coefficients.     

Dynamics of Quantum Fisher Information in Homodyne-Mediated Feedback Control

We investigate the quantum Fisher information(QFI) dynamics of a dissipative two-level system in homodynemediated quantum feedback control. The analytical results demonstrate that the maximum values and stable values of the QFI can be greatly enhanced via feedback control. The quantum feedback plays a more evident role in the improvement of classical Fisher information. The classical part can reach a high stable value, while the quantum part eventually decays to zero whatever the feedback parameter is.
