Creation of quantum correlations between two atoms in a dissipative environment from an initial vacuum state

We have investigated the effect of counter-rotating terms on the dynamics of entanglement and quantum discord between two identical atoms interacting with a lossy single mode cavity field for a system initially in a vacuum state. The counter-rotating terms are found to lead to steady states in the long-time limit which can have high quantum discord, but have no entanglement. The effect of cavity decay rate on this steady-state quantum discord has been also investigated, surprisingly, the increase in cavity decay rate is found to enhance the steady-state quantum discord.     

Controlling quantum discord dynamics in cavity QED systems by applying a classical driving field with phase decoherence

We investigate a two-level atom interacting with a quantized cavity field and a classical driving field in the presence of phase decoherence and find that a stationary quantum discord can arise in the interaction of the atom and cavity field as the time turns to infinity. We also find that the stationary quantum discord can be increased by applying a classical driving field. Furthermore, we explore the quantum discord dynamics of two identical non-interacting two-level atoms independently interacting with a quantized cavity field and a classical driving field in the presence of phase decoherence. Results show that the quantum discord between two atoms is more robust than entanglement under phase decoherence and the classical driving field can help to improve the amount of quantum discord of the two atoms.

Quantum discord between two moving two-level atoms

Considering a double JC model, this paper investigates the quantum discord dynamics of two isolated moving two-level atoms each interacting with a single-mode thermal cavity field, and studies the effect of the atomic motion and the field-mode structure on quantumdiscord. The results show that, on the one hand the quantum discord evolves periodically with time and the periods are affected by the atomic motion and the field-mode structure; on the other hand, the quantum discord still can capture the quantum correlation between the two atoms when the entanglement is zero. It is interesting to note that the quantum discord can be effectively preserved by controlling the field-mode structure parameter     

Dynamics of quantum discord in two Tavis-Cummings models with classical driving fields

We investigate the dynamics of quantum discord in a system consisting of two Tavis-Cummings models, each of which contains two atoms driven by a classical field. We compare the dynamics of quantum discord for the system with that of entanglement and show that quantum discord vanishes only asymptotically although entanglement disappears suddenly during the time evolution. Furthermore, we examine the influence of the initial states and the classical field on the discord dynamics and find that the value of quantum discord can be improved by adjusting the classical driving field. Finally, the quantum discord of two atoms in dissipative cavity is also discussed.     

Quantum Discord of Two Atoms Interacting with a Single-mode Thermal Field

This paper investigates the quantum discord and entanglement of two atoms when they simultaneously interact with a single-mode thermal field. The results show that, the two atoms which are initially in separate states can be entangled by a thermal field. However, with increase of the mean photon number, the value of the entanglement decreases and disappears when the temperature of the cavity is high enough (corresponding to the large value of the mean photon number). In stark contrast, the quantum discord does not decrease, but gradually reaches stable value at high temperature. In addition, when the two atoms are initially the Werner mixed state, we have found that, a large amount of quantum discord is exist even in the region where the entanglement is zero, which is a strong signature for the presence of non classical correlations. These results indicate that, the quantum discord is more resistant to the environment’s disturbance than the entanglement for higher temperatures.

Quantum Entanglement and Quantum Discord of a Two-Qubit System in a Dissipative Cavity

The goal of this work is to investigate quantum entanglement and quantum discord of a pair of two-level atoms which is driven by an external classical field and interacts with a cavity field. After extracting density matrix of the atom-atom subsystem, it is shown that we have stronger quantum discord by increasing atom-field coupling constant for the case in which there is no entanglement. Moreover, for the atom-atom subsystem it is realized that quantum entanglement and quantum discord cannot increase, they decrease after passing some times due to cavity dissipation. Also quantum entanglement and quantum discord decrease faster by increasing atom-field coupling constant.

两二能级原子在共同环境下的量子关联动力学

通过精确求解带有偶极-偶极相互作用的两个二能级原子与一个共同热库相互作用模型, 得到了两原子间量子纠缠和量子失谐(quantum discord)的解析表达式. 综合考虑了环境的非马尔可夫效应、原子间的偶极-偶极相互作用以及原子的本征频率同腔模中心频率之间的失谐量对两原子间量子纠缠和quantum discord的影响. 研究显示: 在非马尔可夫机制下, 且原子的本征频率与腔模中心频率是共振时, 当两原子初态处于纠缠态时, 原子间偶极-偶极相互作用可以显著抑制包括量子纠缠和quantum discord等量子关联的衰减, 更特别的是, 如果原子的本征频率同腔模中心频率有一定的失谐时, 利用原子间偶极-偶极相互作用可大大地延长两原子退纠缠的时间; 当两原子初态处于可分离态时, 从短时间来看, 原子间偶极-偶极相互作用可以提高量子纠缠和quantum discord振荡的振幅,而在长时间极限下, 原子间偶极-偶极相互作用不会改变量子纠缠和quantum discord达到的稳定值. 最后, 讨论了原子间偶极-偶极相互作用对量子纠缠和quantum discord动力学不同的影响. 关键词： 量子纠缠 量子失谐 共同环境 偶极-偶极相互作用

Quantum correlations between two non-interacting atoms under the influence of a thermal environment

By considering a double Jaynes-Cummings model, we investigate the dynamics of quantum correlations, such as the quantum discord and the entanglement, for two atoms in their respective noisy environments, and study the effect of the purity and the cavity temperature on the quantum correlations. The results show that the entanglement suffers sudden death and revival, however the quantum discord can still reveal the quantum correlations between the two atoms in the region where the entanglement is zero. Moreover, when the temperature of each cavity is high the entanglement dies out in a short time, but the quantum discord still survives for quite a long time. It means that the quantum discord is more resistant to environmental disturbance than the entanglement at higher temperatures.     

Control of sudden transition between classical and quantum correlations of two strongly driven atoms in dissipative cavities

We investigate analytically the dynamics of classical and quantum correlations between two strongly driven atoms, each of which is trapped inside a dissipative cavity. It is found that there exists a finite time interval during which the quantum discord initially prepared in the X-type states is not destroyed by the decay of the cavities. The sudden transition between classical correlation and quantum discord is sensitive to the initial-state parameter, the cavity decay rate, and the cavity mode-driving field detuning. Interestingly, we show that the transition time can be prolonged significantly by increasing the degree of the detuning.     

Quantum Correlation of Two Entangled Atoms Interacting with the Binomial Optical Field

Quantum correlations of two atoms in a system of two entangled atoms interacting with the binomial optical field are investigated. In eight different initial states of the two atoms, the influence of the strength of the dipole-dipole interaction, probabilities of a the Bernoulli trial and particle number of the binomial optical field on the temporal evolution of the geometrical quantum discord between two atoms are discussed. The result shows that two atoms always exist the correlation for different parameters. In addition, when and only when the two atoms are initially in the maximally entangled state, the temporal evolution of geometrical quantum discord is not affected by the parameters, and always keep in the degree of geometrical quantum discord that is a fixed value.

研究了冷原子与法布里-珀罗腔内拉盖尔-高斯横模强耦合相互作用体系的透射光谱, 分析了透射光谱与原子在腔中运动轨迹的关系. 结果表明, 与厄米特-高斯横模相比, 拉盖尔-高斯横模的腔场与原子的最大耦合系数几乎不随阶数的增加而变化, 使得探测光谱的对比度受模式阶数的影响较小. 在拉盖尔-高斯横模场分布的圆环边缘附近, 原子运动轨迹的微小偏移会引起透射光谱的很大变化, 因此在这些位置可以实现原子运动轨迹的高精度探测.
