Preventing quantum entanglement from decoherence effect is of theoretical and practical importance in the quantum information processing technologies. In this regard, we consider the entanglement dynamics of two identical qubits where the qubits which are coupled to two independent (Markovian and/or non-Markovian) as well as a common reservoir at zero temperature are further interacted with a classical driving laser field. Then, we study the preservation of generated two-qubit entanglement in various situations using the concurrence measure. It is shown that by applying the classical driving field and so the possibility of controlling the Rabi frequency, the amount of entanglement of the two-qubit system is improved in the off-resonance condition between the qubit and the central cavity frequencies (central detuning) in both non-Markovian and Markovian reservoirs. While the central detuning has a constructive role, the detuning between the qubit and the classical field (laser detuning) affects negatively on the entanglement protection. The obtained results show that long-living entanglement in the non-Markovian reservoir is more accessible than in the Markovian reservoir. We demonstrate that, in a common reservoir non-zero stationary entanglement is achievable whenever the two-qubit system is coupled to the reservoir with appropriate values of relative coupling strengths.
In this paper we provide an analytical investigation of the entanglement dynamics of moving qubits dissipating into a common and (in general) non-Markovian environment for both weak and strong coupling regimes. We first consider the case of two moving qubits in a common environment and then generalize it to an arbitrary number of moving qubits. We show that for an initially entangled state, the environment washes out the initial entanglement after a finite interval of time. We also show that the movement of the qubits can play a constructive role in protecting of the initial entanglement. In this case, we observe a Zeno-like effect due to the velocity of the qubits. On the other hand, by limiting the number of qubits initially in a superposition of single excitation, a stationary entanglement can be achieved between the qubits initially in the excited and ground states. Surprisingly, we illustrate that when the velocity of all qubits are the same, the stationary state of the qubits does not depend on this velocity as well as the environmental properties. This allows us to determine the stationary distribution of the entanglement versus the total number of qubits in the system.
In this paper, the exact entanglement dynamics are obtained of two two-level atoms with two-photon transitions accompanied by the Stark shift, where each atom is independently coupled to a dissipative reservoir at zero temperature. The results show that, in the presence of Stark shift, entanglement can be preserved for a long time and the decoherence process of entanglement slows down. In particular, we find that while the Stark shift has a constructive effect on entanglement protection for both Markovian and non-Markovian reservoirs, this positive effect can be more visible in the non-Markovian reservoir even with low Stark shift parameter values.
We propose a scheme to generate entanglement between two distant qubits (two-level atom) which are separately trapped in their own (in general) non-Markovian dissipative cavities by utilizing entangling swapping, considering the case in which the qubits can move along their cavity axes rather than a static state of motion. We first examine the role of movement of the qubit by studying the entropy evolution for each subsystem. The average entropy over the initial states of the qubit is calculated. Then by performing a Bell state measurement on the fields leaving the cavities, we swap the entanglement between qubit-field in each cavity into qubit-qubit and field-field subsystems. The entangling power is used to measure the average amount of swapped entanglement over all possible pure initial states. Our results are presented in two weak and strong coupling regimes, illustrating the positive role of movement of the qubits on the swapped entanglement. It is revealed that by considering certain conditions for the initial state of qubits, it is possible to achieve a maximally long-leaving stationary entanglement (Bell state) which is entirely independent of the environmental variables as well as the velocity of qubits. This happens when the two qubits have the same velocities.
