Quantum interference and evolution of entanglement in a system of three-level atoms

Abstract: We consider a pair of three-level atoms interacting with the vacuum. The process of disentanglement due to spontaneous emission and the role of quantum interference between principal transitions in this process, are analysed. We show that the presence of interference can slow down disentanglement. In the limit of maximal interference, some part of initial entanglement can survive.

“…For example, [10] modeled two-qubit systems such as pairs of atoms in a dephasing-noise environment, whereas [13] modeled two-qutrit systems corresponding to two three-level atoms whose two uncoupled excited levels undergo spontaneous emission to the ground state. In this section, we examine the model first introduced in [10], namely, that of a two-qubit system subject to classical dephasing noise.…”

“…whereV is the (27), and Lρ is the damping term 38,39 : The spontaneous emission of atoms 1 and 2 from their excited states |3 to the ground states |1 is described by the spontaneous decay rate γ e , similarly γ d is the spontaneous decay rate of excited |2 to the ground |1 . For the derivation of the master equation, we choose the basis:…”
