Correlations in open quantum systems exhibit peculiar phenomena under the effect of various sources of noise. Here, we investigate the dynamics of entanglement and quantum discord (QD) for three noninteracting qubits coupled with a classical environmental static noise characterized by an external random field. Two initial entangled states of the system are examined, namely, the GHZ- and [Formula: see text]-type states. The system-environment interaction is here analyzed in three different configurations, namely, independent, mixed and common environments. We find that the dynamics of quantum correlations are strongly affected by the type of system-environment interaction and the purity of the initial entangled state. Indeed, depending on the type of interaction and the value of the purity of the initial state, peculiar phenomena such as sudden death, revivals and long-time survival of quantum correlations are observed. On the other hand, our results clearly show that quantum correlations initially present in the [Formula: see text]-type states are less robust than those of the GHZ-type states. Furthermore, we find that the long-time survival of entanglement can be detected by means of the suitable entanglement witnesses.

We investigate the dynamics of entanglement, quantum discord (QD) and state coherence in a bipartite and noninteracting spin-qutrits system under mixed classical noises. Specifically, the collective effects of static noise (SN) and random telegraphic noise (RTN) each being coupled with a marginal system, are analyzed. While the static noise models a non-Markovian environment, the dynamic noise can model both a Markovian or a non-Markovian environment, and both dynamics are studied. We show that quantum correlations and coherence may survive the noise degrading effects at sufficiently long time when the Markovian regime of the RTN is considered. Meanwhile, the opposite is found in the non-Markovian regime, wherein the nonmonotonic dynamics of quantum features avoid sudden death phenomena. However, the static noise is more fatal to the survival of quantum correlations and quantum state coherence as compared to the RTN.

We describe the generation of quantum correlations (entanglement, discord and steering) in a system composed of two coupled non-resonant bosonic modes immersed in a common thermal reservoir, in the framework of the theory of open systems. We show that for separable initial squeezed thermal states entanglement generation may take place, for definite values of squeezing parameter, average photon numbers, temperature of the thermal bath, dissipation constant and strength of interaction between the two bosonic modes. We also show that for initial uni-modal squeezed states Gaussian discord can be generated for all non-zero values of the strength of interaction between the modes. Likewise, for an initial separable state, a generation of Gaussian steering may take place temporarily, for definite values of the parameters characterizing the initial state and the thermal environment, and the strength of coupling between the two modes.

In the present paper, the joint effects of two kinds of classical environmental noises, without direct interaction among each other, on the dynamics of quantum correlations (QCs) of a three-qubit system coupled in independent environments is investigated. More precisely, we join the random telegraph noise (RTN) and the static noise (SN) and focus on the dynamics of entanglement and quantum discord (QD) when the qubits are initially prepared in the GHZ- and W-type states. The overall noise affecting the qubits is obtained by combining the RTN and SN in two different setups. The results show that the disorder of the environmental noise as well as its memory qualities and the purity of the initial state considered play a crucial role in the time evolution of the system in such a way that the dynamics of QCs can be controlled by varying them. In fact, we show that, depending on the initial state and noise regime considered, the rate of collapse of QCs may either decrease or increase with the increase of the degree of disorder of the SN, the switching rate of the RTN and the purity of the initial state.

In the framework of the theory of open systems based on completely positive quantum dynamical semigroups, we solve in the asymptotic long-time regime the master equation for two independent harmonic oscillators interacting with an environment. We give a description of the continuous-variable asymptotic entanglement in terms of the covariance matrix of the considered subsystem for an arbitrary Gaussian input state. Using Peres–Simon necessary and sufficient condition for separability of two-mode Gaussian states, we show that for certain classes of environments the initial state evolves asymptotically to an entangled equilibrium bipartite state, while for other values of the coefficients describing the environment, the asymptotic state is separable. We calculate also the logarithmic negativity characterizing the degree of entanglement of the asymptotic state.

In this paper we consider a bipartite system composed of two subsystems each coupled to its own thermal environment. Based on a collision model, we mainly study whether the approximation (i.e., the inter-system coupling is ignored when modeling the system–environment interaction) is valid or not. We also address the problem of heat transport unitedly for both excitation-conserving system–environment interactions and non-excitation-conserving system–environment interactions. For the former interaction, as the inter-system interaction strength increases, at first this approximation gets worse as expected, but then counter-intuitively gets better even for a stronger inter-system coupling. For the latter interaction with asymmetry, this approximation gets progressively worse. In this case we realize a perfect thermal rectification, and we cannot find an apparent rectification effect for the former interaction. Finally and more importantly, our results show that whether this approximation is valid or not is closely related to the quantum correlations between the subsystems, i.e., the weaker the quantum correlations, the more justified the approximation and vice versa.

We consider the discrete-time quantum walk whose local dynamics is denoted by a common unitary matrix C at the perturbed region {0,1,⋯,M−1} and free at the other positions. We obtain the stationary state with a bounded initial state. The initial state is set so that the perturbed region receives the inflow ωn at time n(|ω|=1). From this expression, we compute the scattering on the surface of −1 and M and also compute the quantity how quantum walker accumulates in the perturbed region; namely, the energy of the quantum walk, in the long time limit. The frequency of the initial state of the influence to the energy is symmetric on the unit circle in the complex plain. We find a discontinuity of the energy with respect to the frequency of the inflow.

Considering the dipole–dipole coupling intensity between two atoms and the field in the Fock state, the entanglement dynamics between two atoms that are initially entangled in the Tavis–Cummings model with intrinsic decoherence have been investigated. The two-atom entanglement appears with periodicity without considering intrinsic decoherence. However, the intrinsic decoherence causes the decay of entanglement between two atoms, with the decrease of the intrinsic decoherence coefficient, the entanglement will quickly become a constant value, which is affected by the two-atom initial state, the dipole–dipole coupling intensity and the field in the Fock state. Meanwhile, the two-atom quantum state will stay forever in the maximal entangled state when the initial state is proper, even in the presence of intrinsic decoherence. Furthermore, the two atoms can generate maximal entangled state even if they are initially separated by adjusting the dipole–dipole interaction, the strong coupling can improve the value of entanglement.

Understanding the footprints of chaos in quantum-many-body systems has been under debate for a long time. In this work, we study the echo dynamics of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) model with transverse field under effective time reversal. We investigate numerically its quantum and semiclassical dynamics. We explore how chaotic many-body quantum physics can lead to exponential divergence of the echo of observables and we show that it is a result of three requirements: i) the collective nature of the observable, ii) a properly chosen initial state and iii) the existence of a well-defined chaotic semi-classical (large-N) limit. Under these conditions, the echo grows exponentially up to the Ehrenfest time, which scales logarithmically with the number of spins N. In this regime, the echo is well described by the semiclassical (truncated Wigner) approximation. We also discuss a short-range version of the SK model, where the Ehrenfest time does not depend on N and the quantum echo shows only polynomial growth. Our findings provide new insights on scrambling and echo dynamics and how to observe it experimentally.

We describe a two-player non-local game, with a fixed small number of questions and answers, such that an ϵ-close to optimal strategy requires an entangled state of dimension 2Ω(ϵ−1/8). Our non-local game is inspired by the three-player non-local game of Ji, Leung and Vidick \cite{ji2018three}. It reduces the number of players from three to two, as well as the question and answer set sizes. Moreover, it provides an (arguably) elementary proof of the non-closure of the set of quantum correlations, based on embezzlement and self-testing. In contrast, previous proofs \cite{slofstra2019set, dykema2017non, musat2018non} involved representation theoretic machinery for finitely-presented groups and C∗-algebras.
