Quantum Dynamics of Entanglement and Single Excitation Transfer in LH1-RC-Type Trimer

In this paper, we study quantum dynamics of entanglement and single excitation transfer (SET) in an LH1-RC-type trimer which can describe a basic unit cell in the LH1-RC complex in the photosynthetic process. It is shown that there exists a sudden change of entanglement at the critic point of quantum phase transition (QPT) of the system at low temperatures, the entanglement sudden change caused by the QPT is suppressed at higher temperatures. We investigate the influence of environment on entanglement and SET. We show the generation of the dephasing-assisted entanglement between a donor and an acceptor and the existence of the steady-state entanglement, and demonstrate the entanglement transfer from donor-donor entanglement to donor-acceptor entanglement in the dynamic evolution. We reveal the close relation between the SET probability and donor-acceptor entanglement. Especially, we find that the SET probability is proportional to the amount of donor-acceptor entanglement under certain conditions.     

Entanglement Dynamics of Quantum States Undergoing Decoherence from a Driven Critical Environment

In this paper,we have investigated the quantum entanglement of quantum states undergoing decoherence from a spin environment which drives a quantum phase transition.From our analysis,we find that the entanglement dynamics depends not only on the coupling strength but also on the external magnetic field and the number of the freedom degrees of the environment.Specially,our results imply that the decay of the entanglement can be enhanced by the quantum phase transition of the environment when the system is coupled to the environment weakly.Additionally,the discussion of the case of the multipartite states with high dimensions is made.

Quantum Entanglement Dynamics of Two Atoms in Quantum Light Sources

Quantum entanglement dynamics of two Tavis-Cummings atoms interacting with the quantum light sources in a cavity is investigated. The results show the phenomenon that the concurrence disappears abruptly in a finite time, which depends on the initial atomic states and the properties of squeezed states. We find that there are two decoherence-free states in squeezed vacuum fields: one is the singlet state, and the other entangled state is the state
that combines both excited states and ground states with a relative phase being equal to the phase of the squeezed state.     

Entanglement Transfer Between Cavity Fields and Excitons in a Driven Quantum Dot System

We investigate entanglement transfer from two separate cavities to the excitons in two quantum dots separately placed in the two cavities. The cavity fields and the excitons are treated as two continuous-variable （CV） subsystems. The time-dependent characteristic functions in the Wigner representation for the two subsystems are analytically obtained. Under the conditions that one of the two CV subsystems is initially prepared in a two-mode squeezed vacuum state and the other in its lowest energy state, we show that the entanglement reciprocation between the cavity fields and the excitons is realizable.     

Quantum Dynamics of Bound Entangled States

By using the partial transpose and realignment method, we study the time evolution of the bound entanglement under the bilinear-biquadratie Hamiltonian. For the initial Horodecki＇s bound entangled state, it keeps bound entangled for some time, while for the initial bound entangled states constructed from the unextendable product basis, they become free once the time evolution begins. The time evolution provides a new way to construct bound entangled states, and also gives a method to free bound entanglement.     

Quantum Entanglement Dynamics of Two Atoms in Two Coupled Cavities

Quantum entanglement dynamics for two atoms trapped in two coupled cavities is investigated.Numerical results show that the present of the two atomic excitations is mainly accounted for the entanglement-sudden-death(ESD) effect with the two cavities initially in the vacuum.The entanglement can also be controlled by the hopping rate and the imbalances between the two atom-cavity coupling rates.     

Continuous-Variable Entanglement Generation from a Four-State Atom under Raman Excitation

We investigate the generation and the evolution of continuous-variable (CV) entanglement from a laser-driven four-state atom inside a doubly resonant cavity under Raman excitation. Two transitions in the four-state atom independently interact with the two cavity modes, while two other transitions are driven by coupling laser fields. By including the atomic relaxation as well as cavity losses, we show that the CV entanglement with large mean number of
photons can be generated in our scheme. We also show that the intensity of the coupling laser fields can influence effectively the entanglement period of the cavity field. Different from the conventional resonant excitation scheme where zero one-photon detuning are required, it is found that the intensity and period of entanglement between the two cavity modes as well as the total mean photon number of the cavity field can be adjusted by properly
modulating the frequency detuning.     

Coherence and Entanglement Dynamics in Training Variational Quantum Perceptron

In quantum computation, what contributes supremacy of quantum computation? One of the candidates is known to be a quantum coherence because it is a resource used in the various quantum algorithms. We reveal that quantum coherence contributes to the training of variational quantum perceptron proposed by Y. Du et al., arXiv:1809.06056 (2018). In detail, we show that in the first part of the training of the variational quantum perceptron, the quantum coherence of the total system is concentrated in the index register and in the second part, the Grover algorithm consumes the quantum coherence in the index register. This implies that the quantum coherence distribution and the quantum coherence depletion are required in the training of variational quantum perceptron. In addition, we investigate the behavior of entanglement during the training of variational quantum perceptron. We show that the bipartite concurrence between feature and index register decreases since Grover operation is only performed on the index register. Also, we reveal that the concurrence between the two qubits of index register increases as the variational quantum perceptron is trained.     

Dynamics of Quantum Entanglement in Reservoir with Memory Effects

The non-Markovian dynamics of quantum entanglement is studied by the Shabani-Lidar master equation when one of entangled quantum systems is coupled to a local reservoir with memory effects.The completely positive reduced dynamical map can be constructed in the Kraus representation.Quantum entanglement decays more slowly in the non-Markovian environment.The decoherence time for quantum entanglement can be markedly increased with the change of the memory kernel.It is found out that the entanglement sudden death between quantum systems and entanglement sudden birth between the system and reservoir occur at different instants.     

Quantum State Transfer for Two Atoms with a Single Resonant Interaction

We present a scheme for transferring an unknown atomic entangled state with a single resonant interaction. This scheme only requires a single resonant interaction of two atoms with a cavity mode and does not use the cavity mode as the memory. Thus the scheme is very simple and the interaction time is very short, which is important, in view of decoherence. Quantum state can be directly transferred from two atoms to another two at, oms with a successful probability of 100 percent.     

耦合双Tavis-Cummings模型中的纠缠演化和转移特性

研究了由光纤模连接的两个Tavis-Cummings模型中纠缠演化和纠缠转移的特性。结果表明,初始两原子间的纠缠可转移为另两原子间的纠缠,在纠缠转移过程中,光纤模起到中间传递的作用。纠缠的转移与初始两原子间的纠缠、原子与腔场的耦合强度以及光纤模与腔场的耦合强度、原子与腔场的失谐量和腔场耗散有关。初始纠缠决定了另两原子间纠缠产生的大小;在原子与腔场的耦合强度一定的条件下,随着光纤模与腔场耦合强度的增强,纠缠转移的时间缩短,且产生的纠缠值增加;腔场耗散对纠缠演化的衰减影响是显著的,而失谐量的增加可以有效地抑制这一现象。在整个纠缠转移过程中,系统中其他任两子体系间的纠缠起到了桥梁的作用,实现了两量子纠缠态的远程传递和制备。     

Entanglement of a Single Spin-1 Object: An Example of Ubiquitous Entanglement

Using a single spin-1 object as an example, we discuss a recent approach to quantum entanglement. [A.A. Klyachko and A.S. Shumovsky, J. Phys: Conf. Series 36, 87 (2006), E-print quant-ph/0512213]. The key idea of the approach consists in presetting of basic observables in the very definition of quantum system. Specification of basic observables defines the dynamic symmetry of the system. Entangled states of the system are then interpreted as states with maximal amount of uncertainty of all basic observables. The approach gives purely physical picture of entanglement. In particular, it separates principle physical properties of entanglement from inessential. Within the model example under consideration, we show relativity of entanglement with respect to dynamic symmetry and argue existence of single-particle entanglement. A number of physical examples are considered.

Entanglement of two Jaynes-Cummings atoms in single-excitation space

We study the entanglement dynamics of two atoms coupled to their own Jaynes-Cummings cavities in single-excitation space.Here,we use concurrence to measure atomic entanglement,and consider the Bell-like states to be initial states.Our analysis suggests that collapse and revival take place in entanglement dynamics.The physical mechanism behind entanglement dynamics is periodic information and energy exchange between atoms and light fields.For the initial Bell-like states,evolutionary periodicity of the atomic entanglement can only be found if the ratio of the two atom-cavity coupling strengths is a rational number.Also,whether there is a time translation between two kinds of initial Bel-like state depends on odd versus even numbers of the coupling strength ratio.

Many-Agent Controlled Teleportation of Multi-qubit Quantum Information via Quantum Entanglement Swapping

We present a method to teleport multi-qubit quantum information in an easy way from a sender to a receiver via the control of many agents in a network. Only when all the agents collaborate with the quantum information receiver can the unknown states in the sender＇s qubits be fully reconstructed in the receiver＇s qubits. In our method, agents＇s control parameters are obtained via quantum entanglement swapping. As the realization of the many-agent controlled teleportation is concerned, compared to the recent method [G.P. Yang, et al., Phys. Rev. A 70 （2004） 022329], our present method considerably reduces the preparation difficulty of initial states and the identification difficulty of entangled states, moreover, it does not need local Hadamard operations and it is more feasible in technology.
