Disentanglement of Qubit in Dephasing Model

We investigate the entanglement evolution of two qubits that are initially in Werner state under the classical phase noise. We discuss the influence of mixture degree on disentanglement. It is showed that the more mixed the state, the shorter is the time of disentanglement.     

Disentanglement Dynamics in Nonequilibrium Environments

We theoretically study the non-Markovian disentanglement dynamics of a two-qubit system coupled to nonequilibrium environments with nonstationary and non-Markovian random telegraph noise statistical properties. The reduced density matrix of the two-qubit system can be expressed as the Kraus representation in terms of the tensor products of the single qubit Kraus operators. We derive the relation between the entanglement and nonlocality of the two-qubit system which are both closely associated with the decoherence function. We identify the threshold values of the decoherence function to ensure the existences of the concurrence and nonlocal quantum correlations for an arbitrary evolution time when the two-qubit system is initially prepared in the composite Bell states and the Werner states, respectively. It is shown that the environmental nonequilibrium feature can suppress the disentanglement dynamics and reduce the entanglement revivals in non-Markovian dynamics regime. In addition, the environmental nonequilibrium feature can enhance the nonlocality of the two-qubit system. Moreover, the entanglement sudden death and rebirth phenomena and the transition between quantum and classical nonlocalities closely depend on the parameters of the initial states and the environmental parameters in nonequilibrium environments.     

Lindblad Dynamics and Disentanglement in Multi-Mode Bosonic Systems

In this paper, we consider the thermal bath Lindblad master equation to describe the quantum nonunitary dynamics of quantum states in a multi-mode bosonic system. For the two-mode bosonic system interacting with an environment, we analyse how both the coupling between the modes and the coupling with the environment characterised by the frequency and the relaxation rate vectors affect dynamics of the entanglement. We discuss how the revivals of entanglement can be induced by the dynamic coupling between the different modes. For the system, initially prepared in a two-mode squeezed state, we find the logarithmic negativity as defined by the magnitude and orientation of the frequency and the relaxation rate vectors. We show that, in the regime of finite-time disentanglement, reorientation of the relaxation rate vector may significantly increase the time of disentanglement.     

Quantum Recoil Effects of Spontaneous Emission on Disentanglement

By taking into account spatial degrees of freedom of atoms, we study theinternal-state disentanglement dynamics of two atoms interacting with avacuum multi-mode noise field. We show that the complete internal-statedisentanglement of the two atoms, caused due to the atomic spontaneousemission can be achieved in a finite time.     

Disentanglement of Two Qubits Coupled to an XY Spin Chain at Finite Temperature

The disentanglement evolution of bipartite spin-1/2 system coupled to a common surrounding XY chain in transverse fields at nonzero temperature is studied in this letter. The dynamical process of the entanglement is numerically and analytically investigated. We find that thermal effects can enhance disentanglement if the entangled initial state of the central spins does not in the decoherence free space. The critical phenomenon of quantum phase transitions reflected in the disentanglement can be washed out by the thermal effect eventually.

Scheme to Implement Optimal Asymmetric Economical Phase-Covariant Quantum Cloning in Cavity QED

We propose an experimentally feasible scheme to implement the optimal asymmetric economical 1→2 phase-covariant quantum cloning in two dimensions based on the cavity QED technique. The protocol is very simple and only two atoms are required. Our scheme is insensitive to the cavity field states and cavity decay. During the processes, the cavity is only virtually excited and it thus greatly prolongs the efficient decoherent time. Therefore, it may be realized in experiment.

Disentanglement of Qubits in Classical Limit of Interaction

Two qubits coupled by integral spin object are studied in the semi-classical limit of interaction intermediary. It is shown that initial entanglement of qubits becomes more robust when mediated by semi-classical interaction and does not decay below certain value at a given time. The statements are supported by numerical averaging with respect to a set of randomly chosen initial preparations. There are evidences that such a robustness holds true also for different types of quantum correlations.     

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.     

Disentanglement of 3-qubit states with stochastic dephasing

The effect of stochastic dephasing on the entanglement of 3-qubit states is analyzed. We find that the extent to which the entanglement vanishes depends not only on the strength of the stochastic dephasing, but also on the structure of states of concern under decoherence induced by the stochastic dephasing. The linear entropy used to measure coherence loss is evaluated.     

Disentanglement,Bell-nonlocality violation and teleportation capacity of the decaying tripartite states

Dynamics of disentanglement as measured by the tripartite negativity and Bell nonlocality as measured by the extent of violation of the multipartite Bell-type inequalities are investigated in this work. It is shown definitively that for the initial three-qubit Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) or W class state preparation, the Bell nonlocality suffers sudden death under the influence of thermal reservoirs. Moreover, all the Bell-nonlocal states are useful for nonclassical teleportation, while there are entangled states that do not violate any Bell-type inequalities, but still yield nonclassical teleportation fidelity.

Disentanglement of atom-photon via quantum interference in driven three-level atoms

In this paper, the effect of quantum interference on the entanglement of a driven V-type three-level atom and its spontaneous emission field was investigated by using the quantum entropy. The results indicate that, in the absence of quantum interference the atom and its spontaneous emission field are always entangled at the steady-state. But, in the presence of full quantum interference their steady-state entanglement depends on the atomic parameters. Specifically, with appropriate atomic parameters they can be entangled or disentangled at the steady-state. We realized that the steady-state entanglement is due to completely destructive nature of quantum interference. On the contrary, the steady-state disentanglement is due to instructive nature of quantum interference.     

Entanglement and disentanglement from cascade beam-splitter for squeezed vacuum state inputs

Properties of the entanglement at the outputs of a cascade beam-splitter are investigated for two single-mode squeezed vacuum state inputs. It is shown that the entanglement depends on the squeezing amplitudes of the input states and the reflection coefficients of the cascade beam-splitter, and the composite phase shift Δ between the cascade beam-splitter and the input fields has a great effect on the entanglement. In particular, the properties of the entanglement of a cascade beam-splitter differ from those of only one beam-splitter. A further method for manipulating entanglement by adjusting the parameters of the cascade beam-splitter and the input fields is proposed.     

Disentanglement of source and target and the laser quantum state

Disentanglement of a laser source from its target qubit is proposed as a criterion establishing the laser quantum state as a coherent state. It is shown that the source-target density operator has a unique factorization in coherent states when the environmental record monitoring laser pump quanta is ignored. The source-target state conditioned upon the complete environmental record is entangled, though, as a state of known total quanta number (source plus target).     

Disentanglement time of polymers determines the onset of rim instabilities in dewetting

Molecular relaxations determine the viscoelastic properties of polymers, which, in turn, control macroscopic processes like dewetting. Here, we demonstrate experimentally that the onset of rim instabilities is correlated with the longest relaxation ("reptation") time of the dewetting polymer. Conversely, such experiments allow us to determine the reptation time of polystyrene in thin films as a function of molecular weight. Our approach opens up new possibilities for testing rheological properties of polymers confined in thin films.

Approximate Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield states

We consider dimensionally reduced three-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theory. Although the N=1 supersymmetry of this theory does not allow local massive Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) states, we find approximate BPS states which have nonzero masses that are almost independent of the Yang-Mills coupling constant and which are a reflection of the massless BPS states of the underlying N=1 super-Yang-Mills theory. The masses of these states at large Yang-Mills coupling are exactly at the n-particle continuum thresholds. This leads to a relation between their masses at zero and large Yang-Mills coupling.
