Quantum speed-up process of atom in dissipative cavity

In this work, we obtain an analytical representation of the density operator of an atom in dissipative cavity when the reservoir is at zero temperature and the total number of excitation is N=1. We also investigated the quantum speed limit time(QSLT) of the atom and the non-Markovianity in the dynamics process. The results show that the QSLT and the non-Markovianity can be effectively manipulated by the atom-cavity coupling and the reservoir parameters. Both of the atom-cavity coupling and the detuning can induce a sudden transition from Markovian to non-Markovian dynamics and this transition is the main physical reason of the quantum speed-up process. The critical value of sudden transition from no speed-up to speed-up depends the atom-cavity coupling and the reservoir parameters. The corresponding physical explanation is also provided for our results.

Discord and entanglement in non-Markovian environments at finite temperature

The dynamics evolutions of discord and entanglement of two atoms in two independent Lorentzian reservoirs at zero or finite temperature have been investigated by using the time-convolutionless master-equation method. Our results show that, when both the non-Markovian effect and the detuning are present simultaneously, due to the memory and feedback effect of the non-Markovian reservoirs, the discord and the entanglement can be effectively protected even at nonzero temperature by increasing the non-Markovian effect and the detuning. The discord and the entanglement have different robustness for different initial states and their robustness may changes under certain conditions. Nonzero temperature can accelerate the decays of discord and entanglement and induce the entanglement sudden death.

Squeezing of light field in a dissipative Jaynes-Cummings model

Based on the time-convolutionless master-equation approach, we investigate squeezing of light field in a dissipative Jaynes-Cummings model. The results show that squeezing light can be generated when the atom transits to a ground state from an excited state, and then a collapse-revival phenomenon will occur in the squeezing of light field due to atom-cavity coupling. Enhancing the atom-cavity coupling can increase the frequency of the collapse-revival of squeezing. The stronger the non-Markovian effect is, the more obvious the collapse-revival phenomenon is. The oscillatory frequency of the squeezing is dependents on the resonant frequency of the atom-cavity.

The quantum entropic uncertainty relation and entanglement witness in the two-atom system coupling with the non-Markovian environments

The quantum entropic uncertainty relation and entanglement witness in the two-atom system coupling with the non-Markovian environments are studied by the time-convolutionless master-equation approach. The influence of non-Markovian effect and detuning on the lower bound of the quantum entropic uncertainty relation and entanglement witness is discussed in detail. The results show that, only if the two non-Markovian reservoirs are identical, increasing detuning and non-Markovian effect can reduce the lower bound of the entropic uncertainty relation, lengthen the time region during which the entanglement can be witnessed, and effectively protect the entanglement region witnessed by the lower bound of the entropic uncertainty relation. The results can be applied in quantum measurement, quantum cryptography task and quantum information processing.

Analytical solution and entanglement swapping of a double Jaynes-Cummings model in non-Markovian environments

Analytical solution and entanglement swapping of a double Jaynes-Cummings model in non-Markovian environments are investigated by the timeconvolutionless master equation method. We obtain the analytical solution of this model and discuss in detail the influence of atom-cavity coupling, non-Markovian effect and initial state purity on entanglement dynamics. The results show that, in the non-Markovian environments, the entanglement between two cavities can be swapped to other bipartite subsystems by interaction between an atom and its own cavity. Due to the dissipation of environment, the entanglements of all bipartite subsystems will eventually decay to zero when the atom couples weakly to its cavity and the non-Markovian effect is also weak. All bipartite subsystems can tend to steady entanglement states if and only if there is the strong atom-cavity coupling or the strong non-Markovian effect. The steady state of the subsystem composed of an atom and its own cavity is independent on the purity but the steady states of other bipartite subsystems are dependent on the purity.

Quantum speed limit time of a qubit system with non-Hermitian detuning

We investigated the quantum speed limit time of a qubit system with non-Hermitian detuning. Our results show that, with respect to two distinguishable states of the non-Hermitian system, the evolutionary time does not have a nonzero lower bound. And the quantum evolution of the system can be effectively accelerated by adjusting the non-Hermitian detuning parameter, as well as the quantum speed limit time can be arbitrarily small even be zero.

Intrinsic basis-independent quantum coherence measure

Quantum coherence is a key resource in quantum information processing scenarios, and quantifying coherence is an important task for both quantum foundation and quantum technology. However, until now, all most of coherence measures are basis-dependent that does not accord with physical reality, since the physical properties of the physical system should not be changed with the different choice of coordinate systems. Here, we propose an \textit{intrinsic basis-independent quantum coherence measure} which satisfies all conditions for quantifying coherence. This measurement not only reveals physical essence of quantum coherence of the quantum state itself clearly, but also simplifies the measurement procedure by avoiding the optimization procedure of distance measure.

Protecting coherence in the non-Hermitian two-level system

We have constructed a non-Hermitian two-level system (a PT -symmetric system) in dissipative environments, and investigated the quantum coherence in the non-Hermitian two-level system. Our results show that, quantum coherence can be created by PT -symmetric systems, even if the initial state of the twolevel system is incoherent state. Even though two-level system is interacted with dissipative environments, the quantum coherence exhibits a long-lived revival, and can be protected. We find that the two-level system can obtain more coherence with the coupling strength Ω increases. And we should point out that the PT -symmetric system can be regarded as a good candidate system for creation of the long-lived quantum coherence in dissipative environments.

Protecting and enhancing spin squeezing under decoherence using weak measurement

We propose an efficient method to protect spin squeezing under the action of amplitude-damping, depolarizing and phase-damping channels based on measurement reversal from weak measurement, and consider an ensemble of N independent spin-1/2 particles with exchange symmetry. We find that spin squeezing can be enhanced greatly under three different decoherence channels and spin-squeezing sudden death (SSSD) can be avoided undergoing amplitude damping and phase-damping channels.

Narrow resonances with excitation of finite bandwidth field

The effect of the laser linewidth on the resonance fluorescence spectrum of a two-level atom is revisited. The novel spectral features, such as hole-burning and dispersive profiles at line centre of the fluorescence spectrum are predicted when the laser linewidth is much greater than its intensity. The unique features result from quantum interference between different dressed-state transition channels.
