Diffusion coefficients preserving long-time correlations: consequences on the Einstein relation and on entanglement in a bosonic Bogoliubov system

Abstract

Abstract We analytically derive the diffusion coefficients that drive a system of N coupled harmonic oscillators to an equilibrium state exhibiting persistent correlations. It is shown that the main effect of the latter consists in a renormalization of the natural frequencies and the friction coefficients of the oscillators. We find that the Einstein relation may be satisfied at low temperatures with frequency-dependent effective friction coefficients provided that the physical constraints are fulfilled. We also investigate entanglement evolution in a bipartite bosonic Bogoliubov system initially prepared in a thermal squeezed state. It is found that, in contrast to what one may expect, strong coupling slows down sudden death of the entanglement, and for initially separable states entanglement generation may occur.
