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.     

The Dynamics of Quantum Discord and Entanglement of Three Atoms Coupled to Three Spatially Separate Cavities

In this paper, we study the dynamics of quantum discord and entanglement of three identical two-level atoms simultaneously resonantly interacting with three spatially separate single-mode of high-Q cavities respectively. Taking advantage of the depiction quantum discord and entanglement of formation (EoF), we conclude that the discord and entanglement of atoms and cavities can be mediated by changing some parameters and the maximum values of discord and entanglement are independent on the couplings of cavities and atoms. In particular, there also exists quantum discord sudden death as well as entanglement sudden death and the time interval of the former is shorter than that of the later in the proposed quantum system. It is shown that the discord and entanglement of any two atoms among three atoms can be transferred to the corresponding cavities, and there exists discord and entanglement exchanging between the atoms and the corresponding cavities.

Dynamics of Quantum Correlations for Atoms in Independent Single-Mode Cavity

We investigate the dynamics of two identical atoms resonantly coupled to independent single-mode cavity in zero detuning without rotating wave approximation (RWA). It is shown that for two atoms initially in the ground state, the entanglement (concurrence) and the normalized geometric measure of quantum discord (NGMQD) display similar behavior. There is no sudden death and sudden birth. And the entanglement is always larger than NGMQD in this case. For two atoms initially in excited state, one can see the novel entanglement sudden death (ESD) and sudden birth (ESB) phenomena. The entanglement is not always greater than the NGMQD in this case. Consequently, there is no simple dominance relation between the entanglement and the NGMQD.     

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.

Quantum State Transfer between Two Distant Atoms by Connecting Two Cavities via Optical Fibres

A scheme is proposed to unconditionally implement state transfer between two distant atoms by sending the atoms across two distant cavities connected via an optical fibre, respectively. The field state, which preserves the information about the first atom, is transmitted from one cavity to the other along the fibre. A Faraday rotator integrated in the fibre can be designed to completely stop the fields reflected from the second cavity, thus after the field interacts with the second atom for a defined time, the state transfer can be accomplished with unit efficiency.

Population Dynamics of Excited Atoms in Dissipative Cavities

Population dynamics of excited atoms in dissipative cavities is investigated in this work. We present a method of controlling populations of excited atoms in dissipative cavities. For the initial state |ee〉_AB|00〉_ab, the repopulation of excited atoms can be obtained by using atom-cavity couplings and non-Markovian effects after the atomic excited energy decays to zero. For the initial state |gg〉_AB|11〉_ab, the two atoms can also be populated to the excited states from the initial ground states by using atom-cavity couplings and non-Markovian effects. And the stronger the atom-cavity coupling or the non-Markovian effect is, the larger the number of repopulation of excited atoms is. Particularly, when the atom-cavity coupling or the non-Markovian effect is very strong, the number of repopulation of excited atoms can be close to one in a short time and will tend to a steady value in a long time.     

Temperature Effects on Electron Correlations in Two Coupled Quantum Dots

The path-integral Monte Carlo simulation method is used to examine one and two electrons in a system of two coupled disc-like quantum dots (QD) in a zero magnetic field. With this approach we are able to evaluate the one-electron distributions and two-electron correlation functions, and finite temperature effects on both. Increase of temperature broadens the distributions as expected, the effect being smaller for correlated electrons than for single ones. The simulated one- and two-particle distributions of a single and two coupled quantum dots are also compared to those from other theoretical methods. For the one-particle distributions we find a good agreement with those from the DFT approach. The effect of the third dimension or the thickness of the almost two-dimensional disc-like QDs is small for the one-particle distributions, but it is clearly seen in the electron-electron correlation or the two-particle distribution function at low temperatures. The mutual Coulomb energy of the two electrons is found to be temperature-independent, and also, independent of the correlation effects on the dynamics. Computational capacity is found to become the limiting factor in simulations with increasing accuracy or increasing number of particles, and in case of fermions in particular. This and other aspects of PIMC and its capability for this type of calculations are also discussed.     

Dynamics of Quantum Correlation of Two Atoms with Photon Recoil

By taking into account spatial degrees of freedom of the atoms, we study the dynamics of the quantum correlation between the electronic states of two atoms, separately placed in two single-mode ring cavities. We show that the quantum correlation of the atomic electronic states can decay to almost zero in a finite time, and the quantum correlation between the cavities depends on the spatial spread of the atoms.     

Scheme for Entanglement Generation of Two Atoms in Two Bad Cavities

We present a scheme for generation of two-atomic entangled state by using the interference of polarized photons. The scheme does not require complete mapping between the atomic state and the photonic state, nor does it require the establishment of maximal entanglement between the atom and the cavity. And the atom-cavity coupling strength is smaller than the cavity decay rate. This greatly relaxes the requirement on the cavity quality. The scheme is for non-post-selection results and all the steps of the scheme are within the current technologies.

Entanglement Dynamics Between Two Atoms Within Different W-like Initial States

We investigate the entanglement dynamics between two atoms which are trapped in an optical cavity with the help of the concurrence and the negativity for two different kinds of normalized W-like initial states. The results show that one of them can suffer the so-called entanglement sudden death (ESD) depending on parameters of the initial state when the optical cavity in the vacuum state, while the other one does not for whatever parameters. However when the initial optical cavity photon number is nonzero, no matter what W-like state as atoms’ initial state, the atoms’ subsystem always undergoes the ESD phenomenon. Meanwhile, by comparing concurrence with negativity, we find that our model gives a concrete example to support the conclusions in the previous reference.
