The entanglement of two moving atoms interacting with a single-mode field via a three-photon process

In this paper, the entanglement of two moving atoms induced by a single-mode field via a three-photon process is investigated. It is shown that the entanglement is dependent on the category of the field, the average photon number N, the number p of half-wave lengths of the field mode and the atomic initial state. Also, the sudden death and the sudden birth of the entanglement are detected in this model and the results show that the existence of the sudden death and the sudden birth depends on the parameter and the category of the mode field. In addition, the three-photon process is a higher order nonlinear process.     

Kerr介质对粒子数光场中双原子纠缠演化的影响

初始纠缠的双原子中的一个原子与高Q腔中的单模光场发生相互作用,我们分析了在真空场、粒子数场及Kerr介质环境下两原子间的纠缠演化特性,发现在真空条件下两原子的纠缠有规则的作周期性变化;在粒子数场中两原子的纠缠度严重衰减,演化过程中达到最大纠缠的几率大大减少,且在一定时间段内纠缠消失,产生纠缠猝死现象,随着粒子数增加,纠缠猝死区域不断增加,对两原子的纠缠造成极大地破坏;但当系统在Kerr介质环境中发生相互作用时,发现能有效消除粒子数场中产生的纠缠猝死现象,在一定条件下能使两原子间的纠缠度在高值状态窄幅震荡。     

Effect of mode mode-competition on atom-atom entanglement

A system consisting of two atoms interacting with a two-mode vacuum is considered, where each atom is resonant with the two cavity modes through two different competing transitions. The effect of mode--mode competition on the atom--atom entanglement is investigated. We find that the entanglement between the two atoms can be induced by the mode--mode competition. For the initial atomic state |\varPsi(0)\rangle, whether the atoms are initially separated or entangled, a large or even maximal entanglement between them can be obtained periodically by introducing the mode--mode competition. For the initial atomic state |\varPhi(0)\rangle, the strong mode--mode competition can prevent the two atoms entangled initially from suffering entanglement sudden death; besides, it makes them in a more stable and longer-lived entanglement than in the non-competition case.     

Finite-time disentanglement induced by single-mode thermal field

In this paper, we study the entanglement dynamics of atoms locally coupled to a cavity field. By studying two different models within the framework of cavity QED, we show that the so-called atomic entanglement sudden death always occurs if initially the cavity field is in the thermal state, in clear contrast with that in the vacuum state where the same entanglement decay is in infinite time.     

Entanglement sudden death of two atoms interacting with a cavity via the two-photon process in a strong-driving-assisted system

We examine the entanglement dynamics between two strongly driven atoms off-resonantly coupled with a single-mode cavity via the two-photon process with the help of negativity in two different types of initial states. The results show that entanglement sudden death may occur under both the above conditions and the sudden death effect can be monitored by modulating the atom--cavity detunings. Furthermore, we also find an atomic decoherence-free subspace so that the initial entanglement between two atoms remains invariable in application.     

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。     

Entanglement dynamics between an isolated atom and a moving atom in the cavity

The entanglement dynamics between an isolated atom and a moving atom interacting with a cavity field is investigated. The results show that there appears sudden death of entanglement between the isolated atom and the moving atom and that the time of entanglement sudden death (ESD) is independent of the initial state of the system. It is interesting that the isolated atom can also entangle with a cavity field, though they do not interact with each other originally, which stems from the fact that the entanglement between the isolated atom and the moving atom may turn into the entanglement between the isolated atom and the cavity.     

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.     

The transfer of entanglement and Bell-nonlocality from system to environment

The entanglement among three cavities is transferred to three reservoirs. So does the Bell-nonlocality. Sudden death of entanglement among the three cavities could occur before, simultaneously with, or after sudden birth of entanglement among the three reservoirs. However, sudden death of Bell-nonlocality among the three cavities always happens before sudden birth of Bell-nonlocality among the three reservoirs. The survival time of entanglement is much longer than that of the Bell inequality violation.

Entanglement dynamics of a Heisenberg chain with Dzyaloshinskii--Moriya interaction

This paper investigates the entanglement dynamics of the system, composed of two qubits A and B with Heisenberg XX spin interactation. There is a third controller qubit C, which only has Dzyaloshinskii--Moriya (DM) spin-orbit interaction with the qubit B. It is found that depending on the initial state of the controller qubit C and DM interaction, the entanglement of the system displays amplification and sudden birth effects. These effects indicate that one can control the entanglement of the system, which may be helpful for quantum information processing.     

Three-Qubit Entanglement Sudden Death

We study entanglement dynamics of three-qubit system via negativity. Three atoms A, B, and C interact isolatedly with their own Jaynes-Cummings cavities a, b, and c. Aa system is prepared entangled with Bb and Cc, however, their mutual isolations forbid Aa interacting with system Bb and Cc. It is the same for system Bb and Cc. We show entanglement evolution of different three-qubit systems ABC, abc, Abc, and aBC and find entanglement sudden death effect.     

Sudden death of entanglement of two atoms interacting with thermal fields

We investigate the entanglement dynamics of two initially entangled atoms each interacting with a thermal field.We show that the two entangled atoms become completely disentangled in a finite time and that the lost information cannot return to the atomic system when the mean photon number of the thermal field exceeds a critical value (3.3584),even though the whole system is lossless.Then we study how the detuning between the atomic transition frequency and the field frequency and the disparity between two coupling rates would affect the evolution of the entanglement of the atomic system.     

Control of entanglement sudden death by Kerr medium

The entanglement dynamics of system, where atoms A and B interact with single mode cavity fields a and b respectively, is studied. The interaction between atom A and cavity a may be described by using the typical Jaynes Cummings model, while that between the atom B and cavity b filled with a Kerr medium is of a two-photon process. For a certain initial atom entanglement state, there is an entanglement sudden death effect between the two atoms. The Kerr medium in the cavity b can effectively prevent the undesirable entanglement sudden death from occurring. Also, from the viewpoint of the population dynamics, we discuss why the Kerr medium can do so.     

Sudden death of entanglement in the two-mode cavity field

<正>The entanglement dynamics involving the so-called entanglement sudden death of atoms in two-photon Tavis-Cummings model is investigated.Various initial conditions that may have influences on the entanglement evolution of atoms,especially on the appearance of atomic entanglement sudden death,are studied. The appearance of entanglement sudden death is sensitive to the initial conditions of the whole system, i.e.,the concrete type of atomic initial state,the photon number in the cavity field,and the dipole-dipole interaction between atoms.It is shown that the strong dipole-dipole interaction between atoms can weaken the atomic entanglement sudden death.     

Control of entanglement sudden death induced by Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction

We investigate the entanglement dynamics of a system composed of two non-interacting qubits,A and B.A third qubit,C,only has the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya(DM)spin-orbit interaction with qubit B.We find that the DM interaction can induce the entanglement sudden death(ESD)of the system qubits A and B,andproperly mixing the initial state of the system and adjusting the state of qubit C are two effective methods of controlling ESD.     

Sudden death of entanglement of a quantum model

In this paper the so-called sudden death effect of entanglement is investigated in a quantum model. The results show that one can expect the resurrection of the original entanglement to occur in a periodic way following each sudden death event. The length of the time interval for the zero entanglement depends not only on the degree of entanglement of the initial state but also on the initial state.     

Entanglement dynamics of two distant atoms in two detuning cavities

We investigate the entanglement dynamics via the concurrence of two distant atoms interacting off-resonantly with two cavity fields in Fock states,respectively.We find that the evolution of entanglement has sudden death and sudden birth phenomena,that with the increase of photon numbers in the two cavities,the alternate frequency of sudden death and sudden birth turns fast,and that the amplitude of concurrence oscillates regularly with oscillation frequency becoming slow when the cavity fields have the same photon numbers.While,the maximum of concurrence declines and the amplitude of concurrence oscillates irregularly when the two cavity fields have different photon numbers.In addition,we find the length of death time is dependent on the initial entanglement.

Influence of the External Classical Field on the Entanglement of a Two-Level Atom

The atomic and the field entropies of a two-level atom, which is additionally driven by an external classical field are investigated. Under a certain canonical transformation for the excited and ground states the system is transformed into the usual JCM. Using the equations of motion in the Heisenberg picture exact solutions for the time-dependent dynamical operators are obtained. The entanglement between atom-field system is studied by using the atomic and the field entropies. Also we use the concurrence to detect the sudden death phenomenon and the relationship between entropies and the concurrence of the entanglement are discussed. It is shown that the amount of entanglement, the atomic and the field entropies of the subsystem can be improved by controlling the external classical field.
