Improving autonomous thermal entanglement generation using a common reservoir

چکیده
We study the entanglement generated in the steady state of two interacting qubits coupled to thermal reservoirs. We show that the amount of steady-state entanglement can be enhanced by the presence of a third thermal reservoir which is common to both qubits. Specifically, we find that entanglement can be enhanced as long as the temperature of the common reservoir is below the thermalisation temperature of the qubits, whenever a single temperature can be assigned to the steady state of the qubits in the absence of the common reservoir. Moreover, the amount of entanglement generated with the common reservoir present can be significantly larger than that which can be obtained without it for any temperature of the individual reservoirs. From the perspective of thermodynamics, we find that enhancement of entanglement is associated with heat absorption by the common reservoir. We propose a possible implementation of our scheme in superconducting circuits and find that a significant enhancement of steady-state entanglement should be observable under experimentally realistic conditions.

Sudden death and sudden birth of entanglement
We compare the evolution of entanglement for a system of two two-level atoms interacting with (i) a common reservoir being in the vacuum state and (ii) a common thermal reservoir at non-zero temperature. The Markovian master equation is used to describe the evolution of entanglement which is quantified by concurrence. Phenomena of sudden death, revival, and sudden birth of entanglement are disc...

The sensitivity of entanglement to the thermal and squeezed reservoirs’ parameters is investigated regarding entanglement decay and what is called sudden-death of entanglement, ESD, for a system of two qubit pairs. The dynamics of information is investigated by means of the information disturbance and exchange information. We show that for squeezed reservoir, we can keep both of the entanglemen...
