Chaos in Optomechanical Systems coupled to a Non-Markovian environment

We study the chaotic motion of a semi-classical optomechanical system coupled to a non-Markovian environment with a finite correlation time. We show that the non-Markovian environment can significantly enhance chaos, by studying the emergence of chaos using Lyapunov exponent with the changing non-Markovian parameter. It is observed that non-Markovian environment characterized by the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type noise can modify the generation of chaos with different environmental memory times. As a comparison, the crossover properties from Markov to non-Markovian regimes are also discussed. Our findings indicate that the quantum memory effects on the onset of chaos may become a useful property to be investigated in quantum manipulations and control.

Positivity Preserving non-Markovian Master Equation for Open Quantum System Dynamics: Stochastic Schr\"{o}dinger Equation Approach

Positivity preservation is naturally guaranteed in exact non-Markovian master equations for open quantum system dynamics. However, in many approximated non-Markovian master equations, the positivity of the reduced density matrix is not guaranteed. In this paper, we provide a general class of time-local, perturbative and positivity-preserving non-Markovian master equations generated from stochastic Schrodinger equations, particularly quantum-state-diffusion equations. Our method has an expanded range of applicability for accommodating a variety of non-Markovian environments. We show the positivity-preserving master equation for a three-level system coupled to a dissipative bosonic environment as a particular example to exemplify our general approach. We illustrate the numerical simulations with an analysis explaining why the previous approximated non-Markovian master equations cannot guarantee positivity. Our work provides a consistent master equation for studying the non-Markovian dynamics in ultrafast quantum processes and strong-coupling systems.

Impact of the Central Frequency of Environment on Non-Markovian Dynamics in Piezoelectric Optomechanical Devices

The piezoelectric optomechanical devices supply a promising experimental platform to realize the coherent and effective control and measurement of optical circuits working in Terahertz (THz) frequencies via superconducting electron devices typically working in Radio (MHz) frequencies. However, quantum fluctuations are unavoidable when the size of mechanical oscillators enters into the nanoscale. The consequences of the noisy environment are still challenging due to the lack of analytical tools. In this paper, a semi-classical and full-quantum model of piezoelectric optomechanical systems coupled to a noisy bosonic quantum environment are introduced and solved in terms of quantum-state diffusion (QSD) trajectories in the non-Markovian regime. We show that the noisy environment, particularly the central frequency of the environment, can enhance the entanglement generation between optical cavities and LC circuits in some parameter regimes. Moreover, we observe the critical points in the coefficient functions, which can lead the different behaviors in the system. Besides, we also witness the entanglement transfers between macroscopic objects due to the memory effect of the environment. Our work can be applied in the fields of electric/ optical switches, and long-distance distribution in a large-scale quantum network.

Persistent spin squeezing of dissipative Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick Model embedded in a general thermal environment

We investigate spin squeezing for a Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick (LMG) model coupled to a general non-Markovian environment in a finite temperature regime. Using the non-Markovian quantum state diffusion and master equation approach, we numerically study non-Markovian spin squeezing generation in LMG model. Our results show that the total spin number N, energy kBT, and certain coefficients in a LMG model can play a crucial role in generating spin squeezing. In particular, it shows that the maximum spin squeezing can be significantly enhanced when the participating environment has a relatively long memory time.

High-dimensional temporal mode propagation in a turbulent environment

Temporal modes of photonic quantum states provide a new framework to develop a robust free-space quantum key distribution (QKD) scheme in a maritime environment. We show that the high-dimensional temporal modes can be used to fulfill a persistent communication channel to achieve high photon-efficiency even in severe weather conditions. We identify the parameter regimes that allow for a high-fidelity quantum information transmission. We also examine how the turbulent environment affects fidelity and entanglement degree in various environmental settings.

Exact coherence dynamics mediated by a single cavity mode in the presence of leakage

We present a quantum-state-diffusion equation to characterize the dynamics of a generic atomic system coupled to a leaky cavity mode. As quantum resources, the population, the coherence and even the entanglement of the system would gradually leak out of the cavity. The effect from the leakage of the cavity-mode to the uncontrollable degree of freedom, e.g., environment, is however not always negative to particular targets. A well-established scenario is that a photon counter attached to the cavity would absorb and then record the leaking photon. As a medium between the system and the photon counter, a strong coupling between system and cavity is necessary to enhance the measurement efficiency. While we find it also reduce the reading efficiency of the photon counter at the same time as fewer photons leak out of the cavity. We investigate the competition between these two mechanisms in the framework of non-Markovian open-quantum-system dynamics, where the photon counter serves as a general bosonic environment. Our results provide an optimized parameter space for system entanglement preservation and generation.
