耗散Jaynes-Cummings模型中微观与唯象学主方程方法的比较

在有耗散的Jaynes-Cummings模型中,对原子与腔复合系统初始处于贝尔态或是原子激发态而腔场为真空态时分别运用微观与唯象学主方程进行求解,并分析这两类主方程在不同耦合区域的区别.结果显示,在强耦合和大失谐情况下,微观主方程求解得到的原子基态的布居数呈线性增长,但唯象学主方程获得的结果却呈非线性增加.在弱耦合区域,这两类主方程求解得到的原子基态布居数都出现快速增加,但是用唯象学主方程要比用微观主方程得到的布居数增加得更快.通过分析与讨论,该结果可能对耗散的腔QED中更好的实现逻辑门提供理论参考.     

Quantum and classical correlations for a two-qubit X structure density matrix

We derive explicit expressions for quantum discord and classical correlation for an X structure density matrix. Based on the characteristics of the expressions, the quantum discord and the classical correlation are easily obtained and compared under different initial conditions using a novel analytical method. We explain the relationships among quantum discord, classical correlation, and entanglement, and further find that the quantum discord is not always larger than the entanglement measured by concurrence in a general two-qubit X state. The new method, which is different from previous approaches, has certain guiding significance for analysing quantum discord and classical correlation of a two-qubit X state, such as a mixed state.     

Non-Markovian dynamics of a qubit in a reservoir: different solutions of non-Markovian master equation

We present a non-Markovian master equation for a qubit interacting with a general reservoir, which is derived according to the Nakajima-Zwanzig and the time convolutionless projection operator technique. The non-Markovian solutions and Markovian solution of dynamical decay of a qubit are compared. The results indicate the validity of non-Markovian approach in different coupling regimes and also show that the Markovian master equation may not precisely describe the dynamics of an open quantum system in some situation. The non-Markovian solutions may be effective for many qubits independently interacting with the heated reservoirs.     

Non-Markovian dynamics of two non-coupled qubits interacting with two separate reservoirs with different spectral densities

The dynamics of two non-coupled qubits independently interacting with their reservoirs is solved by the time convolutionless projection operator method. We study two-qubit quantum correlation dynamics for two different types of spectral densities, which are a Lorentzian distribution and an Ohmic spectral density with a Lorentzian-Drude cutoff function. For two qubits initially prepared in the initial Bell state, quantum discord can keep longer time and reach larger values in nonMarkovian reservoirs for the first spectral distribution or by reducing the cutoff frequency for the second case. For the initial Bell-like state, the dynamic behaviors of quantum discord and entanglement are compared. The results show that a long time of quantum correlation can be obtained by adjusting some parameters in experiment and further confirm that the discord can capture quantum correlation in addition to entanglement.     

Quantum correlation dynamics of three non-coupled two-level atoms in different reservoirs

Time evolution dynamics of three non-coupled two-level atoms independently interacting with their reservoirs is solved exactly by considering a damping Lorentzian spectral density.For three atoms initially prepared in Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-type state,quantum correlation dynamics in a Markovian reservoir is compared with that in a nonMarkovian reservoir.By increasing detuning quantity in the non-Markovian reservoir,three-atom correlation dynamics measured by negative eigenvalue presents a trapping phenomenon which provides long-time quantum entanglement.Then we compare the correlation dynamics of three atoms with that of two atoms,measured by quantum entanglement and quantum discord for an initial robuster-entangled type state.The result further confirms that quantum discord is indeed different from quantum entanglement in identifying quantum correlation of many bodies.     

Non-Markovian and Markovian Dynamics of a V-type Three-Level Atom

The reduced dynamics of a V-type three-level atom in a structure reservoir is presented,which has the exact solution in certain special condition.The Markovian and non-Markovian master equations for this composite system are solved and compared with the exact solution.The solving approach can be directly generalized to the solution of a V-type multilevel system dynamics interacting with a reservoir.The results further testify that these two kinds of master equations are exploited in different coupling regime,providing guidance for further application of these variants master equations to solve multilevel system dynamics without the exact solution.
