Positive impact of decoherence on spin squeezing in GHZ and W states

Abstract

We reckon the behaviour of spin squeezing in tripartite unsqueezed maximally entangled Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) and W states under various decoherence channels with KitagawaUeda (KU) criteria. In order to search spin squeezing sudden death (SSSD) and signatures of spin squeezing production we use bit flip, phase flip, bit-phase-flip, amplitude damping, phase damping and depolarization channels in the present study. In literature, the influence of decoherence has been studied as a destroying element. On the contrary here we investigate the positive aspect of decoherence, which produce spin squeezing in unsqueezed GHZ and W states under certain channels. Our meticulous study shows that GHZ state remain unsqueezed under aforementioned channels except bit-phase-flip and depolarization channels. While all the decoherence channels produce spin squeezing in W state. So we find, GHZ is more robust in comparison to W state in the sense of spin squeezing production under decoherence. Most importantly we find that none of the decoherence channel produce SSSD in any one of the state.
