Entanglement Transfer via Heisenberg Interaction in a Four-Qubit System

We investigate the entanglement transfer in a four-qubit system and calculate the concurrence between any two qubits in different initial states. 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.

Evolution of Two Non-identical Two-Level Atoms in Two-Mode Cavity Fields

In this paper, we investigate the evolution of two non-identical two-level atoms in two-mode cavity fields. We demonstrate the death and rebirth effect of entanglement for two non-identical two-level atoms under some initial conditions. It is also exemplified that entangled states of two nonidentical two-level atoms can be generated by entangled two-mode cavity fields. This research can be considered as a first step to further investigate the problem of manipulating two nonidentical two-level atoms in two-mode cavity fields.

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 evolution of a two-qubit system with decay beyond the rotating-wave approximation

The entanglement property of two identical atoms, initially entangled in Bell states, coupled to a single-mode cavity is considered. Based on the reduced non-perturbative quantum master equation method, the entanglement evolution of the two atoms with decay is investigated beyond the conventional rotating-wave approximation. We show that the counter-rotating wave terms, usually neglected, have a great influence on the disentanglement behaviour of the system. The phenomena of entanglement sudden death and entanglement sudden birth will occur. In addition, we show that the entanglement can be strengthened by introducing the dipole--dipole interaction of the two atoms.

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.     

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.

Protecting entanglement of atoms stored in a common nonperfect cavity without measurements

We study entanglement dynamics of two and three atoms stored in a common nonperfect cavity together with some other nonentangled atoms. It is guessed at first thought that the presence of nonentangled atoms would favor the decoherence process of the interested entangled atoms. We show, on the contrary, that it is not so. Namely, as results of a rigorous nonperturbative analysis, disentanglement rate of the interested atoms decreases with the increase of the number of nonentangled atoms. If the number of nonentangled atoms is sufficiently large, the entanglement of interested atoms could be protected efficiently.

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 properties between two atoms in the binomial optical field interacting with two entangled atoms

The temporal evolution of the degree of entanglement between two atoms in a system of the binomial optical field interacting with two arbitrary entangled atoms is investigated. The influence of the strength of the dipole–dipole interaction between two atoms, probabilities of the Bernoulli trial, and particle number of the binomial optical field on the temporal evolution of the atomic entanglement are discussed. The result shows that the two atoms are always in the entanglement state. Moreover, if and only if the two atoms are initially in the maximally entangled state, the entanglement evolution is not affected by the parameters, and the degree of entanglement is always kept as 1.
