分子磁体与环境的纠缠和退相干

本文研究了双轴分子磁体在耗散环境中的相干量子隧穿,作为环境的声子库抑制了相干量子隧穿,从而引起分子磁体中薛定谔猫态的退相干. 而环境内部声子之间的相互作用会导致分子磁体与热库之间退耦合,于是对退相干有一定的抑制作用. 在绝热近似和非绝热近似下,借助于约化密度矩阵计算了超Ohmo耗散中分子磁体与环境之间的纠缠度,当纠缠达到最大时,相干隧穿被完全抑制.     

Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya相互作用和內禀退相干对三粒子XXZ海森堡系统的量子纠缠的影响

根据Milburn理论, 研究了考虑内禀退相干情况下, 三粒子XXZ海森堡系统在Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya(DM)相互作用和各向异性参数的影响下的量子纠缠演化特性。 分析了不同DM相互作用和內禀退相干因子等参数对量子对纠缠度的影响。 研究表明： 系统的对纠缠度与各向异性参数Δ无关, 但DM相互作用和內禀退相干都对系统的对纠缠都有明显的影响。 当无DM相互作用只存在內禀退相干时, 系统的三对对纠缠度各不相同; 引入DM相互作用后, 系统的对纠缠度的稳定值将改变; 选择合适的DM相互作用参数时, 系统的对纠缠度随时间做震荡, 随着时间的延长, 震荡减弱至一个非零的稳定值; 并且系统的对纠缠随內禀退相干增大, 震荡幅度变小, 震荡时间变短。 因此, 在內禀退相干存在时, 合适的DM相互作用参数可以有效的控制对纠缠。

具有三体相互作用自旋链的量子相干与量子纠缠

本文研究了具有两种三体相互作用的海森堡XXZ自旋链的量子相干与量子纠缠的特性。研究发现,量子相干性不会出现突然死亡现象且非零量子相干性存在的温度范围大于量子纠缠存在的温度范围,说明量子相干性相对于量子纠缠,具有更强的鲁棒性。在量子临界环境中,量子相干性可以表征本模型的量子相变现象。在铁磁情形中,无论外磁场是否为0,单独调控XZX+YZY三体相互作用对于减缓量子相干性的衰减速率与增大量子相干性存在的温度范围效果最好。在反铁磁情形中,外磁场为0时,XZX+YZY与XZY-YZX两种三体相互作用的协同作用可以显著增加量子相干性的最大值,并明显减缓其衰减速率。在铁磁情形与反铁磁情形中都发现当外磁场B <0时,量子相干性存在的温度范围更大,更有利于保存量子相干性。

Disentanglement dynamics of interacting two qubits and two qutrits in an XY spin-chain environment with the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction

We investigate disentanglement dynamics of two coupled qubits and qutrits which interact uniformly to a general XY spin-chain environment with the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya (DM) interaction. We obtained exact expression of the time evolution operator and analyzed the dynamical process of the decoherence factors. Through explicitly calculating the concurrence and the negativity, we examined disentanglement behaviors of two coupled central spins evolve from different initial pure states, which are found to be nontrivially different from those of the uncorrelated ones, in particular, the enhanced decay of the entanglement induced by quantum criticality of the surrounding environment may be broken by introducing self-Hamiltonian of the central spin system. Moreover, the DM interaction may have different influences on decay of the entanglement depending on the strength of the system-environment coupling, the anisotropy of the environmental spin chain and the intensity of the transverse magnetic field, as well as the explicit form of the initial states of the central spin system.     

Decoherence in generalized measurement and the quantum Zeno paradox

In the development of quantum mechanics, the evolution of a quantum system was a controversial item. The duality of unitary evolution and state reduction as proposed by John von Neumann was widely felt unsatisfactory. Among the various attempts to reconcile the two incompatible modes of dynamics, the model of decoherence has turned out rather convincing.     

Quantum walks: Decoherence and coin-flipping games

We investigate the global chirality distribution of the quantum walk on the line when decoherence is introduced either through simultaneous measurements of the chirality and particle position, or as a result of broken links. The first mechanism drives the system towards a classical diffusive behavior. This is used to build new quantum games, similar to the spin-flip game. The second mechanism involves two different possibilities: (a) All the quantum walk links have the same probability of being broken. (b) Only the quantum walk links on a half-line are affected by random breakage. In case (a) the decoherence drives the system to a classical Markov process, whose master equation is equivalent to the dynamical equation of the quantum density matrix. This is not the case in (b) where the asymptotic global chirality distribution unexpectedly maintains some dependence with the initial condition. Explicit analytical equations are obtained for all cases.     

Decoherence in quantum mechanics

We study decoherence in a simple quantum mechanical model using two approaches. Firstly, we follow the conventional approach to decoherence where one is interested in solving the reduced density matrix from the perturbative master equation. Secondly, we consider our novel correlator approach to decoherence where entropy is generated by neglecting observationally inaccessible correlators. We show that both methods can accurately predict decoherence time scales. However, the perturbative master equation generically suffers from instabilities which prevents us to reliably calculate the system’s total entropy increase. We also discuss the relevance of the results in our quantum mechanical model for interacting field theories.     

Semi-Classical Limit and Minimum Decoherence in the Conditional Probability Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

The Conditional Probability Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics replaces the abstract notion of time used in standard Quantum Mechanics by the time that can be read off from a physical clock. The use of physical clocks leads to apparent non-unitary and decoherence. Here we show that a close approximation to standard Quantum Mechanics can be recovered from conditional Quantum Mechanics for semi-classical clocks, and we use these clocks to compute the minimum decoherence predicted by the Conditional Probability Interpretation.     

Decoherence of quantum Brownian motion in noncommutative space

The decoherence of a harmonic oscillator under two-dimensional quantum Brownian motion on a noncommutative plane is investigated. The interaction with the environment is considered by two separate models so-called coupled and uncoupled. The two-dimensional master equation and its noncommutative counterpart are derived for both employed models. The rate of the linear entropy (predictability sieve) is chosen as a criterion to investigate the purity in the presence of the space noncommutativity. Besides, a two-dimensional charged harmonic oscillator on a plane which is imposed by a perpendicular magnetic field is introduced as a realization of our model. Therefore, our approach provides a formalism to investigate the influence of the magnetic field on the decoherence of the pure states. We show that in the high magnetic field limit the rate of the decoherence will be decreased.

Disentanglement of two-qubit system in the Bloch channel

Disentanglement of two qubits is studied in the relaxation process characterized by the longitudinal and transversal relaxation times, T₁ and T₂, which satisfy the inequality T₂ ≤ 2T₁ due to the complete positivity of the time-evolution. In the case of sufficiently low temperature, it is shown that whether the equality T₂ = 2T₁ is satisfied or not is of essential importance in the finite-time disentanglement. This is the characteristic feature of entanglement.
