Entanglement trapping in structured environments

Abstract: The entanglement dynamics of two independent qubits each embedded in a structured environment under conditions of inhibition of spontaneous emission is analyzed, showing entanglement trapping. We demonstrate that entanglement trapping can be used efficiently to prevent entanglement sudden death. For the case of realistic photonic band-gap materials, we show that high values of entanglement trapping can be achieved. This result is of both fundamental and applicative interest since it provides a physical situati… Show more

“…In short, different to the need for a structured environment as emphasized in Ref. [7], our discussion clearly reveals two essential conditions to preserve the entanglement: the availability of the bound state and the non-Markovian effect. This discussion focused on an almost maximally entangled initial state by taking α = 0.7.…”

“…However, in many cases the finite extension of the entangled time is not enough and thus it is desired to preserve a significant fraction of the entanglement in the longtime limit. Indeed, it was shown [7] that some noticeable fraction of entanglement can be obtained by engineering structured environment such as photonic band-gap materials [8,9]. According to these works, it is still unclear whether the residual entanglement is fundamentally due to the specific structured materials or due to certain physical mechanisms.…”

“…The quantum part of the correlations, quantified by quantum discord, includes not only entanglement but also correlations that may occur in separable states. For bipartite open quantum systems in quantum environments, entanglement may display phenomena such as sudden death, revivals, and trapping [5][6][7]. Revivals of entanglement, after finite time periods when it completely disappears, can be expected when either direct two-qubit interactions [8,9] or indirect effective interaction is present, as in the case of two qubits in a common quantum reservoir [10].…”

“…The underlying physical picture is that during the evolution the NVC's excited level |A 2 experiences an anomalous "giant" Lamb shift and splits into doublet levels only when the NVC's transition frequency ω 0 lies inside or near the band gap [41][42][43]. One of the doublet levels retains in EFBS lying within the gap, whereas the other is shifted out of the gap and exhibits resonance fluorescence.…”
