Effects of dipole-dipole interaction on entanglement transfer

A system consisting of two different atoms interacting with a two-mode vacuum, where each atom is resonant only with one cavity mode, is considered. The effects of dipole-dipole （dd） interaction between two atoms on the atom-atom entanglement and mode--mode entanglement are investigated. For a weak dd interaction, when the atoms are initially separable, the entanglement between them can be induced by the dd interaction, and the entanglement transfer between the atoms and the modes occurs efficiently; when the atoms are initially entangled, the entanglement transfer is almost not influenced by the dd interaction. However, for a strong dd interaction, it is difficult to transfer the entanglement from the atoms to the modes, but the atom-atom entanglement can be maintained when the atoms are initially entangled.     

原子间纠缠和光场模间纠缠的对应关系

本文应用negativity和concurrence两种纠缠度量标准，考察了双原子与双模光场相互作用系统中，原子间纠缠和光场模间纠缠随时间的演化规律，发现它们在时间演化过程中可以相互转换，在一定条件下两者具有很好的对应关系；对于两量子位系统，negativity和concurrence的取值范围一样，在判断纠缠存在与否的标准上也完全相同，但当系统处于混态时二者的大小不能始终保持一致. 关键词： 量子纠缠 negetivity concurrence 双原子 双模光场     

A Theoretical Scheme for Entanglement Transfer under Intensity-Dependent Couplings

We consider a theoretical scheme for entanglement transfer between a two-mode squeezed vacuum field and two initially separable atoms through intensity-dependent couplings. We find that the entanglement transfer between the field and the atoms has an exact period for any given squeezing. We also find that the maximum achievable entanglement of the atomic subsystem is a simple increasing function of r.For sufficiently large squeezing parameter r, it is possible for the atoms to be entangled into a Bell state at half the periodic time points.
