Entanglement Dynamics of Three Superconducting Charge Qubits Coupled to a Cavity

We investigate the entanglement dynamics of a quantum system consisting of three superconducting charge qubits (SCQs) interacting with a microwave field. For separable and entangled states of the SCQs, the evolutions are studied under various photon numbers of cavity field. The results show that the amplitude and period of the bipartite entanglement square concurrences can be controlled by the choice of initial states of SCQs and photon numberof cavity field, respectively. This simple model of a quantum register allows us to understand the dynamic process of the quantum storage of information carried by charge qubit.     

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.

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 in a Spin-Orbit Coupled Bose-Einstein Condensate

We study the spin-field and the spin-spin entanglement in the ground state of a spin-orbit coupled Bose- Einstein condensate. It is found that the spin-field and the spin-spin entanglement can be induced by the spin-orbit coupling. By mapping the system to the Dicke-like model, the system exhibits a quantum phase transition from a normal (spin balanced) phase to superradiant (spin polarized) phase. The Dicke-like phase transition can be captured by the spin-field and the spin-spin entanglement arising from the spin-orbit coupling. The spin-field and the spin-spin entanglement increase as the Raman coupling increases in the superradiant phase, while they decrease with the Raman coupling increasing in the normal phase. We also consider the effect of a finite detuning on these entanglement show that the presence of the detuning suppresses the spin-field and the spin-spin entanglement.     

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.     

Thermal Entanglement and Correlated Coherence in Two Coupled Double Quantum Dots Systems

In this work, the thermal quantum correlations in two coupled double semiconductor charge qubits are investigated. This is carried out by deriving analytical expressions for both the thermal concurrence and the correlated coherence. The effects of the tunneling parameters, the Coulomb interaction, and the temperature on the thermal entanglement and on the correlated coherence are studied in detail. It is found that the Coulomb potential plays an important role in the thermal entanglement and in the correlated coherence of the system. The results also indicate that the Coulomb potential can be used for significant enhancement of the thermal entanglement and quantum coherence. One interesting aspect is that the correlated coherence capture all the thermal entanglement at low temperatures, that is, the local coherences are totally transferred to the thermal entanglement. Finally, the role played by thermal entanglement and the correlated coherence responsible for quantum correlations are focused on. It is shown that in all cases, the correlated coherence is more robust than the thermal entanglement so that quantum algorithms based only on correlated coherence may be more robust than those based on entanglement.

Entanglement and Photon Anti-Bunching in Coupled Non-Degenerate Parametric Oscillators

We analytically and numerically show that the Hillery-Zubairy’s entanglement criterion is satisfied both below and above the threshold of coupled non-degenerate optical parametric oscillators (NOPOs) with strong nonlinear gain saturation and dissipative linear coupling. We investigated two cases: for large pump mode dissipation, below-threshold entanglement is possible only when the parametric interaction has an enough detuning among the signal, idler, and pump photon modes. On the other hand, for a large dissipative coupling, below-threshold entanglement is possible even when there is no detuning in the parametric interaction. In both cases, a non-Gaussian state entanglement criterion is satisfied even at the threshold. Recent progress in nano-photonic devices might make it possible to experimentally demonstrate this phase transition in a coherent XY machine with quantum correlations.     

Coherent Preservation of Two-Qubit Quantum Entanglement in the Strong Coupling Region

The entanglement of two qubits is investigated in the range of their ultra-strongly coupling with a quantum oscillator. The two qubits are initially in four Bell states and they are under the control mechanism of the coherent state of the quantum oscillator. There are four parameters: the average number of the coherent state, the ultra-strong coupling strength, the ratio of two frequencies of qubit and oscillator, and the inter-interaction coupling of the two qubits in the mechanism, and they all are influential parameters on the entanglement of the two qubits. One Bell state |0>is easyily kept and is trivial case. The novel results show that there is one state |I₀> among the other three Bell states which the entanglement of the two qubits could be almost completely preserved. The possibility is made into reality by the appropriate choice of the four influential parameters. We give two different schemes to choose the respective parameters to maintain the entanglment of |I₀> almost undiminished. The results will be useful for the quantum information process.     

Entanglement Dynamics of Multipartite Systems Under Decoherence from a Spin Environment

The entanglement evolution of multipartite quantum states under a spin environment is analyzed. Due to interaction, the extent to which the entanglement vanishes depends not only on the size of system and the structure of quantum states, but also on the exchange couplings with environment. The decoherence-free subspaces have been identified by using the linear entropy.

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.     

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。

Bipartite Entanglement Dynamics in Three Qubits System withDzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interaction

We investigate the bipartite entanglement dynamics of the systemcomposed by three qubits A, B, and C. There is no interaction betweenA and B, and that of C and B is Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) spin-orbit interaction. We find that the purity of qubits A and B and the initial state of the qubit C are the two effective parameters to control the entanglement dynamics of the bipartite subsystems. This study sheds some lights on the control of quantum entanglement, which would be helpful for quantum information processing.
