Dissipative evolution of quantum Gaussian states

Stationary states of dissipative quantum systems

In this Letter we consider stationary states of dissipative quantum systems. We discuss stationary states of dissipative quantum systems, which coincide with stationary states of Hamiltonian quantum systems. Dissipative quantum systems with pure stationary states of linear harmonic oscillator are suggested. We discuss bifurcations of stationary states for dissipative quantum systems which are q...

Extremality of Gaussian quantum states.

We investigate Gaussian quantum states in view of their exceptional role within the space of all continuous variables states. A general method for deriving extremality results is provided and applied to entanglement measures, secret key distillation and the classical capacity of bosonic quantum channels. We prove that for every given covariance matrix the distillable secret key rate and the ent...

Pure Gaussian states from quantum harmonic oscillator chains with a single local dissipative process

We study the preparation of entangled pure Gaussian states via reservoir engineering. In particular, we consider a chain consisting of (2א+ 1) quantum harmonic oscillators where the central oscillator of the chain is coupled to a single reservoir. We then completely parametrize the class of (2א+1)-mode pure Gaussian states that can be prepared by this type of quantum harmonic oscillator chain. ...

Quantum information with Gaussian states

Quantum optical Gaussian states are a type of important robust quantum states which are manipulatable by the existing technologies. So far, most of the important quantum information experiments are done with such states, including bright Gaussian light and weak Gaussian light. Extending the existing results of quantum information with discrete quantum states to the case of continuous variable q...
