Effects of dipole-dipole interaction on entanglement transfer

A system consisting of two different atoms interacting with a two-mode vacuum, where each atom is resonant only with one cavity mode, is considered. The effects of dipole-dipole （dd） interaction between two atoms on the atom-atom entanglement and mode--mode entanglement are investigated. For a weak dd interaction, when the atoms are initially separable, the entanglement between them can be induced by the dd interaction, and the entanglement transfer between the atoms and the modes occurs efficiently; when the atoms are initially entangled, the entanglement transfer is almost not influenced by the dd interaction. However, for a strong dd interaction, it is difficult to transfer the entanglement from the atoms to the modes, but the atom-atom entanglement can be maintained when the atoms are initially entangled.     

The entanglement between two isolated atoms in double mode--mode competition model

Extending the double Jaynes--Cummings model to a more complicated case where the mode--mode competition is considered, we investigate the entanglement character of two isolated atoms by means of concurrence, and discuss the dependence of atom--atom entanglement on the different initial state and the relative coupling strength between the atom and the corresponding cavity field. The results show that the amplitude and the period of the atom--atom entanglement evolution can be controlled by the choice of initial state and relative coupling strength, respectively. We find that the phenomenon of entanglement sudden death (ESD) is sensitive to the initial conditions. The length of the time interval for zero entanglement depends not only on the initial degree of entanglement between two atoms but also on the relative coupling strength of atom--field interaction. The ESD effect can be weakened by enhancing the mode--mode competition between the three- and single-photon processes.     

Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya相互作用诱导纠缠突然死亡的控制

We investigate the entanglement dynamics of a system composed of two non-interacting qubits, A and B. A third qubit, C, only has the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya （DM） spin-orbit interaction with qubit B. We find that the DM interaction can induce the entanglement sudden death （ESD） of the system qubits A and B, and properly mixing the initial state of the system and adjusting the state of qubit C are two effective methods of controlling ESD.     

Sudden death of entanglement of two atoms interacting with thermal fields

We investigate the entanglement dynamics of two initially entangled atoms each interacting with a thermal field.We show that the two entangled atoms become completely disentangled in a finite time and that the lost information cannot return to the atomic system when the mean photon number of the thermal field exceeds a critical value (3.3584),even though the whole system is lossless.Then we study how the detuning between the atomic transition frequency and the field frequency and the disparity between two coupling rates would affect the evolution of the entanglement of the atomic system.     

Entanglement sudden death induced by the Dzialoshinskii--Moriya interaction

In this paper, we study the entanglement dynamics of two-spin Heisenberg XYZ model with the Dzialoshinskii--Moriya (DM) interaction. The system is initially prepared in the Werner state. The effects of purity of the initial state and DM coupling parameter on the evolution of entanglement are investigated. The necessary and sufficient condition for the appearance of the entanglement sudden death (ESD) phenomenon has been deduced. The result shows that the ESD always occurs if the initial state is sufficiently impure for the given coupling parameter or the DM interaction is sufficiently strong for the given initial state. Moreover, the critical values of them are calculated.

The entanglement of two dipole--dipole coupled atoms interacting with a thermal field via a two-photon process

This paper studies entanglement between two dipole-dipole coupled atoms interacting with a thermal field via a two-photon process. It shows that the entanglement is dependent on the mean photon number of the thermal field and the dipole-dipole interaction. The results also show that the atom-atom entanglement through the two-photon process is larger than that through the one-photon process and a remarkable amount of entanglement between the atoms still remains at certain times even for a very highly noisy thermal field.     

Entanglement transfer between atoms in two distant cavities via an optical fibre

This paper presents a treatment of the entanglement transfer between atoms in two distant cavities coupled by an optical fibre. If the atoms resonantly and collectively interact with the local single-mode cavity fields and the dipole--dipole interaction between the atoms is neglected, then it shows that a complete transfer of entanglement from one pair of atoms to another can be deterministically realized. Furthermore, it also investigates the effects of dipole--dipole interaction on entanglement transfer on the condition that the interaction between the atoms and the cavity is much weaker than the coupling between the cavity and the fibre.

Exact solution of entanglement of the double Jaynes-Cummings model without rotating wave approximation

This paper investigates the influences of atom-field coupling and dipole-dipole coupling for atoms on the entanglement between two atoms by means of concurrence. The results show that the sudden death occurs when the atom-field coupling is strong enough, and the collapse and the revival appear when the dipole-dipole interaction is strong enough.     

Entanglement sudden death of two atoms interacting with a cavity via the two-photon process in a strong-driving-assisted system

We examine the entanglement dynamics between two strongly driven atoms off-resonantly coupled with a single-mode cavity via the two-photon process with the help of negativity in two different types of initial states. The results show that entanglement sudden death may occur under both the above conditions and the sudden death effect can be monitored by modulating the atom--cavity detunings. Furthermore, we also find an atomic decoherence-free subspace so that the initial entanglement between two atoms remains invariable in application.

Sudden death of entanglement of a quantum model

In this paper the so-called sudden death effect of entanglement is investigated in a quantum model. The results show that one can expect the resurrection of the original entanglement to occur in a periodic way following each sudden death event. The length of the time interval for the zero entanglement depends not only on the degree of entanglement of the initial state but also on the initial state.     

Entanglement dynamics of two distant atoms in two detuning cavities

We investigate the entanglement dynamics via the concurrence of two distant atoms interacting off-resonantly with two cavity fields in Fock states,respectively.We find that the evolution of entanglement has sudden death and sudden birth phenomena,that with the increase of photon numbers in the two cavities,the alternate frequency of sudden death and sudden birth turns fast,and that the amplitude of concurrence oscillates regularly with oscillation frequency becoming slow when the cavity fields have the same photon numbers.While,the maximum of concurrence declines and the amplitude of concurrence oscillates irregularly when the two cavity fields have different photon numbers.In addition,we find the length of death time is dependent on the initial entanglement.

Tunable entanglement sudden death and three-partite entanglement in Tavis-Cummings model with an added nonlinear kerr-like medium

We investigate the entanglement dynamics and the phenomenon of entanglement sudden death in the two-photon Tavis-Cummings model with an added nonlinear kerr-like medium. It is shown that the phenomenon of entanglement sudden death can be controlled by the nonlinear kerr-like medium. Furthermore, the influence of dipole-dipole interaction on entanglement between atoms is also discussed. It is found that the phenomenon of entanglement sudden death can be weakened by the dipole-dipole interaction. Finally, we investigate the influence of kerr medium and dipole-dipole interaction on the three-partite entanglement of the system by making use of the state preparation fidelity.     

Effect of mode mode-competition on atom-atom entanglement

A system consisting of two atoms interacting with a two-mode vacuum is considered, where each atom is resonant with the two cavity modes through two different competing transitions. The effect of mode--mode competition on the atom--atom entanglement is investigated. We find that the entanglement between the two atoms can be induced by the mode--mode competition. For the initial atomic state |\varPsi(0)\rangle, whether the atoms are initially separated or entangled, a large or even maximal entanglement between them can be obtained periodically by introducing the mode--mode competition. For the initial atomic state |\varPhi(0)\rangle, the strong mode--mode competition can prevent the two atoms entangled initially from suffering entanglement sudden death; besides, it makes them in a more stable and longer-lived entanglement than in the non-competition case.     

Relation between initial conditions and entanglement sudden death for two-qubit extended Werner-like states

In this paper, the dynamical behavior of entanglement of an uncoupled two-qubit system, which interacts with inde- pendent identical amplitude damping environments and is initially prepared in the extended Werner-like （EWL） states, is investigated. The results show that whether entanglement sudden death （ESD） of an EWL state will occur or not depends on initial purity and concurrence. The boundaries between ESD states and ESD-free states for two kinds of EWL states are found to be different. Furthermore, some regions are shown where ESD states can be transformed into ESD-free states by local unitary operations.
