Entanglement evolution in an anisotropic two-qubit Heisenberg XYZ model with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction

This paper investigates the entanglement evolution of a two-qubit anisotropic Heisenberg XYZ chain in the presence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction.The time evolution of the concurrence is studied for the initial pure entangled states cos θ |00 + sin θ |11 and cos |01 + sin |10 at zero temperature.The influences of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction D,anisotropic parameter and environment coupling strength γ on entanglement evolution are analysed in detail.It is found that the effect of noisy environment obviously suppresses the entanglement evolution,and the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction D acts on the time evolution of entanglement only when the initial state is cos |01 + sin |10.Finally,a formula of steady state concurrence is obtained,and it is shown that the stable concurrence,which is independent of different initial states and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction D,depends on the anisotropic parameter and the environment coupling strength γ.     

Influence of Intrinsic Decoherence on Entanglement in Two-Qubit Quantum Heisenberg XYZ Chain

Taking the intrinsic decoherence effect into account, we investigate the time evolution of entanglement for two-qubit XYZ Heisenberg model in an external uniform magnetic field. Concurrence, the measurement of entanglement,is calculated. We show how the intrinsic decoherence modifies the time evolution of the entanglement and find that at short-time case, concurrence is oscillating as increasing magnetic field, which implies that entanglement may be enhanced or weakened in some time regions.     

Intrinsic Decoherence on Two-Qubit Heisenberg XX Chain

Quantum teleportation is investigated by using the entangled states of two-qubit Heisenberg XX chain in an external uniform magnetic field as resources in the model of Milburn＇s intrinsic decoherence. Though intrinsic decoherence on quantum entanglement and quantum teleportation exerts different effects in different initial systems, proper magnetic fields and probabilities of different eigenstates in the initial states can weaken the effects.     

Decoherence from a spin chain with Dzyaloshinskii—Moriya interaction

We study the dynamics of quantum discord and entanglement for two spin qubits coupled to a spin chain with Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction.In the case of a two-qubit with an initial pure state,quantum correlations decay to zero at the critical point of the environment in a very short time.In the case of a two-qubit with initial mixed state,it is found that quantum discord may get maximized due to the quantum critical behavior of the environment,while entanglement vanishes under the same condition.Besides,we observed a sudden transition between classical and quantum decoherence when only a single qubit interacts with the environment.The effects of Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction on quantum correlations are considered in the two cases.The decay of quantum correlations is always strengthened by Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction.     

Quantum Correlation in Three-Qubit Heisenberg Model with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interaction

We investigate the pairwise thermal quantum discord in a three-qubit XXZ model with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction. We find that the effects of DM interaction on antiferromagnetic system is distinct from that of ferromagnetic system. The magnetic field supplemented with DM term contribute to enhance the range of quantum discord. It is revealed that the situations where quantum discord fails to indicate a sudden change of groundstate at finite temperature though indicating such a sudden change of groundstate at zero temperature. Dynamics of pairwise thermal quantum discord is considered as well. Thermal quantum discord vanishes in asymptotic limit regardless of its initial values, however, thermal entanglement suddenly disappears in finite time.     

Nuclear-induced time evolution of entanglement of two-electron spins in anisotropically coupled quantum dot

We study the time evolution of entanglement of two spins in an anisotropically coupled quantum dot interacting with the unpolarised nuclear spins environment. We assume that the exchange coupling strength in the z direction J _z is different from the lateral one J _l . We observe that the entanglement decays as a result of the coupling to the nuclear environment and reaches a saturation value, which depends on the value of the exchange interaction difference J = ‖J _l ? J _z ‖ between the two spins and the strength of the applied external magnetic field. We find that the entanglement exhibits a critical behaviour controlled by the competition between the exchange interaction J and the external magnetic field. The entanglement shows a quasi-symmetric behaviour above and below a critical value of the exchange interaction. It becomes more symmetric as the external magnetic field increases. The entanglement reaches a large saturation value, close to unity, when the exchange interaction is far above or below its critical value and a small one as it closely approaches the critical value. Furthermore, we find that the decay rate profile of entanglement is linear when the exchange interaction is much higher or lower than the critical value but converts to a power law and finally to a Gaussian as the critical value is approached from both directions. The dynamics of entanglement is found to be independent of the exchange interaction for an isotropically coupled quantum dot.

Comparison and control of the robustness between quantum entanglement and quantum correlation in an open quantum system

We investigate the influence of environmental decoherence on the dynamics of a coupled qubit system and quantum correlation.We analyse the relationship between concurrence and the degree of initial entanglement or the purity of initial quantum state,and also their relationship with quantum discord.The results show that the decrease of the purity of an initial quantum state can induce the attenuation of concurrence or quantum discord,but the attenuation of quantum discord is obviously slower than the concurrence’s,correspondingly the survival time of quantum discord is longer.Further investigation reveals that the robustness of quantum discord and concurrence relies on the entanglement degree of the initial quantum state.The higher the degree of entanglement,the more robust the quantum discord is than concurrence.And the reverse is equally true.Birth and death happen to quantum discord periodically and a newborn quantum discord comes into being under a certain condition,so does the concurrence.
