Quantum speed limit for the maximum coherent state under squeezed environment

The quantum speed limit time for quantum system under squeezed environment is studied. We consider two typical models, the damped Jaynes-Cummings model and the dephasing model. For the damped Jaynes-Cummings model under squeezed environment, we find that the quantum speed limit time becomes larger with the squeezed parameter $r$ increasing and indicates symmetry about the phase parameter value $θ=π$. Meanwhile, the quantum speed limit time can also be influenced by the coupling strength between the system and environment. However, the quantum speed limit time for the dephasing model is determined by the dephasing rate and the boundary of acceleration region that interacting with vacuum reservoir can be broken when the squeezed environment parameters are appropriately chosen.

Margolus-Levitin speed limit across quantum to classical regimes based on trace distance

The classical version of Mandelstam-Tamm speed limit based on the Wigner function in phase space is reported by B. Shanahan et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 070401 (2018)]. In this paper, the Margolus-Levitin speed limit across the quantum-to-classical transition is given in phase space based on the trace distance. The Margolus-Levitin speed limit is set by the Schatten L1 norm of the generator of time dependent evolution for both the quantum and classical domains. As an example, the time-dependent harmonic oscillator is considered to illustrate the result.

Quantum speed limit based on the bound of Bures angle

In this paper, we investigate the unified bound of quantum speed limit time in open systems based on the modified Bures angle. This bound is applied to the damped Jaynes-Cummings model and the dephasing model, and the analytical quantum speed limit time is obtained for both models. As an example, the maximum coherent qubit state with white noise is chosen as the initial states for the damped Jaynes-Cummings model. It is found that the quantum speed limit time in both the non-Markovian and the Markovian regimes can be decreased by the white noise compared with the pure state. In addition, for the dephasing model, we find that the quantum speed limit time is not only related to the coherence of initial state and non-Markovianity, but also dependent on the population of initial excited state.

Quantum speed limit for a mixed initial state

A unified bound on the quantum speed limit is obtained for open quantum systems with the mixed initial state by utilizing the function of relative purity proposed in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 060409 (2018)]. As applications, it is found that the quantum speed limit bound for the damped Jaynes-Cumming model is determined by the competition among the non-Markovianity, the population of initial excited state and the initial-state coherence, which shows that the population of initial excited state and the coherence of initial state can sharp the quantum speed limit despite that the non-Markovian effects can accelerate the evolution of open quantum system. For the dephasing model, a simple factorization law with the initial-state coherence shows that the quantum speed limit is only governed by the competition between the non-Markovianity and the coherence of the initial state.

The precision of parameter estimation for dephasing model under squeezed reservoir

We study the precision of parameter estimation for dephasing model under squeezed environment. We analytically calculate the dephasing factor $γ(t)$ and obtain the analytic quantum Fisher information (QFI) for the amplitude parameter $α$ and the phase parameter $ϕ$. It is shown that the QFI for the amplitude parameter $α$ is invariant in the whole process, while the QFI for the phase parameter $ϕ$ strongly depends on the reservoir squeezing. It is shown that the QFI can be enhanced for appropriate squeeze parameters $r$ and $θ$. Finally, we also investigate the effect of temperature on the QFI.

Local quantum uncertainty guarantees the measurement precision for two coupled two-level systems in non-Markovian environment

Quantum Fisher information (QFI) is an important feature for the precision of quantum parameter estimation based on the quantum Cramér-Rao inequality. When the quantum state satisfies the von Neumann-Landau equation, the local quantum uncertainty (LQU), as a kind of quantum correlation, present in a bipartite mixed state guarantees a lower bound on QFI in the optimal phase estimation protocol [Phys. Rev. Lett. 110 (2013) 240402]. However, in the open quantum systems, there is not an explicit relation between LQU and QFI generally. In this paper, we study the relation between LQU and QFI in open systems which is composed of two interacting two-level systems coupled to independent non-Markovian environments with the entangled initial state embedded by a phase parameter $θ$. The analytical calculations show that the QFI does't depend on the phase parameter $θ$, and its decay can be restrained through enhancing the coupling strength or non-Markovianity. Meanwhile, the LQU is related to the phase parameter $θ$ and shows plentiful phenomena. In particular, we find that the LQU can well bound the QFI when the coupling between the two systems is switched off or the initial state is Bell state.

The effect of center-of-mass motion on photon statistics

We analyze the photon statistics of a weakly driven cavity quantum electrodynamics system and discuss the effects of photon blockade and photon-induced tunneling by effectively utilizing instead of avoiding the center-of-mass motion of a two-level atom trapped in the cavity. With the resonant interaction between atom, photon and phonon, it is shown that the bunching and anti-bunching of photons can occur with properly driving frequency. Our study shows the influence of the imperfect cooling of atom on the blockade and provides an attempt to take advantage of the center-of-mass motion.

Effects of the reservoir squeezing on the precision of parameter estimation

The effects of reservoir squeezing on the precision of parameter estimation are investigated analytically based on non-perturbation procedures. The exact analytic quantum Fisher information (QFI) is obtained. It is shown that the QFI depends on the estimated parameter and its decay could be reduced by the squeezed reservoir compared with thermal (vacuum) reservoir, in particular, if the squeezing phase matching is satisfied.

The initial-state dependence of quantum speed limit

The generic bound of quantum speed limit time (the minimal evolution time) for a qubit system interacting with structural environment is investigated. We define a new bound for the quantum speed limit. It is shown that the non-Markovianity and the population of the excited state can fail to signal the quantum evolution acceleration, but the initial-state dependence is an important factor. In particular, we find that different quantum speed limits could produce contradictory predictions on the quantum evolution acceleration.

Non-classicalities via perturbing local unitary operations

We study the nonclassical correlations in a two-qubit state by the perturbing local unitary operation method. We find that the definitions of various non-classicalities including quantum discord (QD), measurement-induced nonlocality (MIN) and so on usually do not have a unique definition when expressed as the perturbation of local unitary operations, so a given non-classicality can lead to different definitions of its dual non-classicality. In addition, it is shown that QD and MIN are not the corresponding dual expressions in a simple set of unitary operations, even though they are in their original definitions. In addition, we also consider the non-classicalities in general $2\otimes d$ dimensional systems.

The roles of quantum correlations in quantum cloning

In this paper, we study the entanglement and quantum discord of the output modes in the unified $1\rightarrow 2$ state-dependent cloning and probabilistic quantum cloning. The tripartite entanglement among the output modes and the quantum cloning machine is also considered. We find that the roles of the quantum correlations including the bipartite and tripartite entanglement and quantum discord strongly depend on the quantum cloning machines as well as the cloned state. In particular, it is found that this quantum cloning scheme can be realizable even without any quantum correlation.

Quantum correlation cost of the weak measurement

Quantum correlation cost (QCC) characterizing how much quantum correlation is used in a weak-measurement process is presented based on the trace norm. It is shown that the QCC is related to the trace-norm-based quantum discord (TQD) by only a factor that is determined by the strength of the weak measurement, so it only catches partial quantumness of a quantum system compared with the TQD. We also find that the residual quantumness can be `extracted' not only by the further von Neumann measurement, but also by a sequence of infinitesimal weak measurements. As an example, we demonstrate our outcomes by the Bell-diagonal state.

Uncertainty-induced quantum nonlocality

Based on the skew information, we present a quantity, uncertainty-induced quantum nonlocality (UIN) to measure the quantum correlation. It can be considered as the updated version of the original measurement-induced nonlocality (MIN) preserving the good computability but eliminating the non-contractivity problem. For 2 x d-dimensional state, it is shown that UIN can be given by a closed form. In addition, we also investigate the maximal uncertainty-induced nonlocality.

Quantum correlation measure in arbitrary bipartite systems

A definition of quantum correlation is presented for an arbitrary bipartite quantum state based on the skew information. This definition not only inherits the good properties of skew information such as the contractivity and so on, but also is effective and almost analytically calculated for any bipartite quantum states. We also reveal the relation between our measure and quantum metrology. As applications, we give the exact expressions of quantum correlation for many states, which provides a direct support for our result.

A type of localized quadripartite entanglement

In this paper, we show that the average three-tangle of the reduced tripartite density matrix for some quadripartite pure states can be increased by some potential measurements on the fourth subsystem, which means this type of quadripartite entanglement can be localized. In particular, we prove that the maximal increment with all potential measurements taken into account is a quadripartite entanglement monotone, so it quantifies this localized quadripartite entanglement. By analyzing quadripartite pure states based on the previous classification, we find that this quadripartite entanglement monotone is not only present in the standard GHZ state and absent in the standard W states. In addition, based on the proposed entanglement measure, we construct a new monogamy relation.
