Quantum speed-up process of atom in dissipative cavity

In this work, we obtain an analytical representation of the density operator of an atom in a dissipative cavity when the reservoir is at zero temperature and the total number of excitations is N = 1. We also investigated the quantum speed limit time (QSLT) of the atom and the non-Markovianity in the dynamics process. The results show that the QSLT and the non-Markovianity can be effectively manipulated by the atom–cavity coupling and the reservoir parameters. Both of the atom–cavity coupling and the detuning can induce a sudden transition from Markovian to non-Markovian dynamics, and this transition is the main physical reason of the quantum speed-up process. The critical value of the sudden transition from no speed-up to speed-up the atom–cavity coupling and the reservoir parameters. The corresponding physical explanation is also provided for our results.

Witnessing entanglement between two atoms in dissipative cavities by the entropic uncertainty relation

Based on the entropic uncertainty relation in the presence of quantum memory, the entanglement witness of two atoms in dissipative cavities is investigated by using the time-convolutionless master-equation approach. We discuss in detail the influences of the non-Markovian effect and the atom–cavity coupling on the lower bound of the entropic uncertainty relation and entanglement witness. The results show that, with the coupling increasing, the number of the time zone witnessed will increase so that the entanglement can be repeatedly witnessed. Enhancing the non-Markovian effect can add the number of the time zone witnessed and lengthen the time of entanglement witness. The results can be applied in quantum measurement, entanglement detecting, quantum cryptography task, and quantum information processing.

Population Dynamics of Excited Atoms in Dissipative Cavities

Population dynamics of excited atoms in dissipative cavities is investigated in this work. We present a method of controlling populations of excited atoms in dissipative cavities. For the initial state |e e〉 A B |00〉 a b , the repopulation of excited atoms can be obtained by using atom-cavity couplings and non-Markovian effects after the atomic excited energy decays to zero. For the initial state |g g〉 A B |11〉 a b , the two atoms can also be populated to the excited states from the initial ground states by using atom-cavity couplings and non-Markovian effects. And the stronger the atom-cavity coupling or the non-Markovian effect is, the larger the number of repopulation of excited atoms is. Particularly, when the atom-cavity coupling or the non-Markovian effect is very strong, the number of repopulation of excited atoms can be close to one in a short time and will tend to a steady value in a long time.

Collapse–revival of squeezing of two atoms in dissipative cavities**Project supported by the Science and Technology Plan of Hunan Province, China (Grant No. 2010FJ3148), the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 11374096), and the Doctoral Science Foundation of Hunan Normal University, China.

Based on the time-convolutionless master-equation approach, we investigate the squeezing dynamics of two atoms in dissipative cavities. We find that the atomic squeezing is related to initial atomic states, atom–cavity couplings, non-Markovian effects and resonant frequencies of an atom and its cavity. The results show that a collapse–revival phenomenon will occur in the atomic squeezing and this process is accompanied by the buildup and decay of entanglement between two atoms. Enhancing the atom–cavity coupling can increase the frequency of the collapse–revival of the atomic squeezing. The stronger the non-Markovian effect is, the more obvious the collapse–revival phenomenon is. In particular, if the atom–cavity coupling or the non-Markovian effect is very strong, the atomic squeezing will tend to a stably periodic oscillation in a long time. The oscillatory frequency of the atomic squeezing is dependent on the resonant frequency of the atom and its cavity.

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.

Two atoms in dissipative cavities in dispersive limit: entanglement sudden death and long-lived entanglement

We investigate the entanglement dynamics and coherence of two two-level atoms interacting with two coherent fields of two spatially separated and dissipative cavities. It is in particular shown that entanglement sudden death is obtained within a short interaction time. However, after a long interaction time a long-lived entanglement is shown; that is, the initial entanglement of two atoms could be partially preserved. In addition, the coherence of the two atoms will not be lost during the evolution.
