Dynamic control of the entanglement in the presence of the time-varying field

The interactions between a two-level atom and a field with a time-varying frequency have been investigated. The two typical cases, the frequency of the field varying with time in the forms of sine and rectangle, have been considered. The dynamic behavior of the atom-field entanglement is investigated numerically as function of time. A number of novel phenomena are discovered and discussed. The sine modulation of the field frequency can help to realize and stabilize the degree of the atom-field entanglement at high level. The influence of the rectangular frequency modulated field on the atom-field entanglement indicates that the entanglement is more sensitive to the detuning than the correlation between different Rabi oscillations. Not only the sine field frequency modulation but also the rectangular field frequency modulation is favorable to improve, enhance and stabilize the degree of the atom-field entanglement.

Quantum Entanglement and Quantum Discord of a Two-Qubit System in a Dissipative Cavity

The goal of this work is to investigate quantum entanglement and quantum discord of a pair of two-level atoms which is driven by an external classical field and interacts with a cavity field. After extracting density matrix of the atom-atom subsystem, it is shown that we have stronger quantum discord by increasing atom-field coupling constant for the case in which there is no entanglement. Moreover, for the atom-atom subsystem it is realized that quantum entanglement and quantum discord cannot increase, they decrease after passing some times due to cavity dissipation. Also quantum entanglement and quantum discord decrease faster by increasing atom-field coupling constant.     

Entanglement and nonclassicality evolution of the atom in a squeezed vacuum

As an important parameter, von Neumann entropy has been used to characterize the entanglement between atom and light field. We discussed the entanglement and nonclassicality evolution of an atom in a squeezed vacuum—a typical nonclassical field, and compare it with that of the coherent state. It shows that the atom-field entanglement in squeezed vacuum is much stronger and stabler than that in coherent state, whereas the nonclassicality of the light field depends on its initial status. This investigation is trying to find a new insight into the relation between entanglement of atom-field system and nonclassicality of light fields. The result shows that the entanglement between the atom and the field can be maintained well in the squeezed vacuum and this implies better control of atom and photon mutually.

Quantum entanglement in the mode-mode competition system

Considering a two-level atom interacting with the competing two-mode field, this paper investigates the entanglement between the two-level atom and the two-mode field by using the quantum reduced entropy, and that between the two-mode field by using the quantum relative entropy of entanglement. It shows that the two kinds of entanglement are dependent on the relative coupling strength of atom-field and the atomic distribution, and exhibit the periodical evolution. The maximal atom-field entanglement state can be prepared via the appropriate selection of system parameters and interaction time.     

Entanglement assisted fast reordering of atoms in an optical lattice within a cavity at T = 0

Laser-illuminated atoms in an optical resonator exhibit a phase transition between the homogenous distribution and two possible ordered configurations in the optical lattice formed by the cavity and pump fields. At zero temperature, atom-field entanglement plays a crucial role in the spatial reordering of the atoms from a homogeneous towards the two ordered states, where all atoms occupy either only even or only odd lattice sites. Concurrent with the buildup of atom-field entanglement, the homogeneous atomic cloud evolves immediately into the superposition of the two stable patterns entangled with opposite cavity field amplitudes. This possibility is absent in a factorized (classical) treatment of atoms and field and should be generic for spontaneous symmetry breaking in quantum phase transitions in optical potentials.     

Entanglement and Sudden Death of a Nonlinear Two-Level-Atom Pair Interacting with a Radiation Field

We study the entanglement between a pair of two-level atoms simultaneously interacting via a singlemode thermal field. The Hamiltonian also describes a two-photon process. The entanglement between a nonlinear atom-field interacting system is also studied using atomic and field entropy changes. We use concurrence to detect the sudden death phenomenon. Furthermore, we discuss the relationship between entropy changes and concurrence entanglement. Our results show that the behavior of the entropy change is in agreement with the behavior of the concurrence when we measure the entanglement between the two-subsystem structure.

A novel scheme of hybrid entanglement swapping and teleportation using cavity QED in the small and large detuning regimes and quasi-Bell state measurement method

We outline a scheme for entanglement swapping based on cavity QED as well as quasi-Bell state measurement(quasiBSM) methods. The atom–field interaction in the cavity QED method is performed in small and large detuning regimes.We assume two atoms are initially entangled together and, distinctly two cavities are prepared in an entangled coherent–coherent state. In this scheme, we want to transform entanglement to the atom-field system. It is observed that, the fidelities of the swapped entangled state in the quasi-BSM method can be compatible with those obtained in the small and large detuning regimes in the cavity QED method(the condition of this compatibility will be discussed). In addition, in the large detuning regime, the swapped entangled state is obtained by detecting and quasi-BSM approaches. In the continuation,by making use of the atom–field entangled state obtained in both approaches in a large detuning regime, we show that the atomic as well as field states teleportation with complete fidelity can be achieved.     

Entanglement dynamics in atom-field interaction in the presence of noise: a special application of the Burshtein equation

The entanglement dynamics in a system of the interaction of an atom with a single-mode thermal field in the presence of noise is studied by the Jaynes-Cummings model. Two-state random phase telegraph noise is considered as the noise in the interaction and an exact solution to the model under this noise is obtained by the Burshtein equation. Although the Burshtein equation is applicable for laser-atom interactions, it is shown that it can be applied to atom-thermal field system as a special case. The solution is used to investigate the entanglement dynamics of the atom-field interaction by calculating a lower bound on concurrence. It is found that the entanglement is a non monotonic function of the intensity of the noise. The degree of the entanglement decreases to a minimum value for an optimal intensity of the noise and then increases for a sufficiently large intensity. Moreover, intense noise may generate stronger entanglement compared with the absence of noise.

A Class of Quasi-exact Solutions of Rabi Hamiltonian

A class of quasi-exact solutions of the Rabi Hamiltonian, which describes a two-level atom interacting with a single-mode radiation field via a dipole interaction without the rotating-wave approximation, are obtained by using a wavefunction ansatz. Exact solutions for part of the spectrum are obtained when the atom-field coupling strength and the field frequency satisfy certain relations. As an example, the lowest exact energy level and the corresponding atom-field entanglement at the quasi-exactly solvable point are calculated and compared to results from the Jaynes-Cummings and counter-rotating cases of the Rabi Hamiltonian.     

Entanglement Generation for Two Coupled Multi-excitation Fields Interacting with Qubits

We study the entanglement dynamics for two coupled multi-excitation cavity fields, each independently interacting with a two-level atom. We find that even when the atom-field system is initially not entangled, the fields can become heavily entangled through postselecting of the atomic state. The field entanglement entropy is dependent on the total excitation number but independent of the coherent photon hopping strength.     

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.     

Instability and entanglement of the ground state of the Dicke model

Using tools of quantum information theory we show that the ground state of the Dicke model exhibits an infinite sequence of instabilities (quantum-phase-like transitions). These transitions are characterized by abrupt changes of the bi-partite entanglement between atoms at critical values kappa(j) of the atom-field coupling parameter kappa and are accompanied by discontinuities of the first derivative of the energy of the ground state. We show that in a weak-coupling limit (kappa1 < or = kappa < or = kappa2) the Coffman-Kundu-Wootters inequalities are saturated, which proves that for these values of the coupling no intrinsic multipartite entanglement (neither among the atoms nor between the atoms and the field) is generated by the atom-field interaction. We show that in the strong-coupling limit the entangling interaction with atoms leads to a highly sub-Poissonian photon statistics of the field mode.
