Quantum speed limit time: role of coherence

Abstract

The minimum evolution time between multi-qubit quantum states is estimated for non-Markovian quantum channels. We consider the maximally coherent pure and mixed states as well as multi-qubit $X$ states as initial states and discuss the impact of initial coherence and the behaviour of coherence on their speed of evolution for both dephasing and dissipative processes. The role of the non-zero value of initial coherence under information backflow conditions for the non-unital dissipative process is revealed by the flow of quantum speed limit time ($\tau_{QSL}$). The trade-off between mixedness and coherence on the speed limit time reveals the nature of the quantum process the states undergo. The complementarity effect between mixedness and coherence is more prominent in the quantum non-unital dissipation process. The parametric trajectory of speed limit time vividly depicts the difference in the evolution of pure and mixed initial states, and this could be used to distinguish between the unital and non-unital channels studied in this work. Our investigation of quantum speed limit time on multi-qubit entangled $X$ states reveals that $\tau_{QSL}$ can be identified as a potential dynamical witness to distinguish multi-qubit states in the course of evolution.

Affinity-based geometric discord and quantum speed limits of its creation and decay

“…In this section, we aim to define quantum speed time τ for the decay or creation of quantum correlation in a system for a non-unitary evolution. To derive the Margolus-Levitin (ML) and Mandelstamm-Tamm (MT) bounds for the quantum speed limit time for the creation and decay of quantum correlation, we follow the procedure given in [59]. It is defined as the minimum time required to change by an amount…”

Harnessing Quantumness of States using Discrete Wigner Functions under (non)‐Markovian Quantum Channels

“…Quantum coherence is a fundamental prerequisite for all quantum correlations, including entanglement, and it is a crucial physical resource in quantum computation and information processing. [67][68][69][70][71][72] Also, entanglement is a premium quantum correlation and has many operational uses. We will study the dynamics of quantum coherence and entanglement, that is, concurrence [73] utilizing two-qubit's first, second, and third negative quantum state using DWFs and compare them with the corresponding dynamical evolution of Bell states.…”

Noise‐Based Damping of Chaotic Entanglement in Pulsed Driven Two‐Qubit System

“…The jump operators of the Lindblad formalism provide an appropriate description of diverse environments. [27] For example, a thermal environment, characterized by its temperature, can cause decoherence, resulting in the degradation of quantum entanglement and other quantum correlations. [28][29][30][31] The influences of thermal reservoir and dephasing environment on the entanglement dynamics of multi-qubit quantum systems are investigated.…”
