Dynamics of quantum correlations in a qubit-qutrit spin system under random telegraph noise

We study the dimensionless time evolution of the logarithmic negativity and geometric quantum discord of a qubit-qutrit XXX spin model under the both Markovian and non-Markovian noise channels. We find that at a special temperature interval the quantum entanglement based on the logarithmic negativity reveals entanglement sudden deaths together with revivals. The revival phenomenon is due to the non-Markovianity resulting from the feedback effect of the environment. At high temperatures, the scenario of death and revival disappears. The geometric quantum discord evolves alternatively versus time elapsing with damped amplitudes until the system reaches steady state. It is demonstrated that the dynamics of entanglement negativity undergoes substantial changes by varying temperature, and it is much more fragile against the temperature rather than the geometric quantum discord. The real complex heterodinuclear [Ni(dpt (H2O)Cu(pba)]·2H2O [with pba =1,3-propylenebis(oxamato) and dpt = bis-(3-aminopropyl)amine] is an experimental representative of our considered bipartite qubit-qutrit system that may show remarkable entanglement deaths and revivals at relatively high temperatures and high magnetic field that is comparable with the strength of the exchange interaction J between Cu+2 and Ni+2 ions, i.e., kBT ≈ J and μBB ≈ J.

Non-Markovian Dynamics of Geometric Quantum Discord in a Double Quantum Dot System

In this paper, we study the geometric quantum discord dynamics of the double quantum dot charge qubit in the non-Markovian environment. We apply the non-perturbative non-Markovian quantum state diffusion method to obtain the exact master equation of the double quantum dot system coupled to two independent non-zero temperature electronic baths. Then, we use this master equation to investigate the effects of non-Markovianity, inter-dot coupling strength and bath temperature on the dynamics of geometric quantum discord. Our studies show that the geometric quantum discord of a double quantum dot system can be modified and enhanced in some cases via these factors.

Robustness of Quantum Correlations in Entangled Two su(2) Systems Non-mutually Interacting with su(1, 1) System under Intrinsic Decoherence

Two two-level systems generated by su(2) algebra are initially prepared in a maximum nonsymmetric Bell state and having no mutual interaction. Each su(2)-system spatially interacts with two-mode cavity field in the nondegenerate parametric amplifier type cast through operators governed by su(1, 1) Lie algebra. An analytical description for the time evolution of the final state of the total system with the effect of intrinsic decoherence is found. Therefore, the robustness of the quantum correlations between the two su(2)-system is investigated by means of geometric quantum discord, measurement-induced nonlocality and negativity. We analyze in some detail the influence of initial coherence intensities, detuning and phase decoherence parameters on the steady-state correlation. We find that the steady-state correlations can be generated and enhanced by controlling the parameters of: the initial coherence intensities, the Bargmman index and the detuning. It is shown that the phenomenon of sudden death and re-birth of entanglement, and the sudden changes of the geometric quantum correlation can be controlled by these parameters. We find that the robustness of the quantum correlation can be greatly enhanced by the Bargmman index and the resonance detuning. Negativity is the measure most susceptible to phase decoherence, while geometric quantum discord and measurement-induced nonlocality are the more robust measures.

The Dynamics of Three Different Entropic Measures of Quantum Correlations in Mixed Bipartite State Coupled with Classical Environments

The dynamics of three different entropic measures of quantum correlations in mixed bipartite qubit states in the presence of two different classical noises, the static noise (SN) and the random telegraph noise (RTN), are investigated. The three entropic measures of quantum correlations correspond to one-way information deficit, geometric quantum discord and the cubic information. General analytic relations for each quantifier in the two configurations are obtained. In both configurations, the minimized value of each measure of quantum correlations corresponds to the conditional entropy of the same projectors. It is shown that one-way information deficit captures more correlations in highly mixed initial states. On the contrary, in both configurations the cubic information reduces to the geometric quantum discord and captures more correlations for highly pure initial states. The periodic revival of each measure of quantum correlation is more prominent in the case of RTN.
