Problematic How to characterize and understand dynamics of entanglement in an open system? Understand what makes a state robust. C.F. Roos et al P.R.L. 92, 220402 (2004)
Plan • Definitions: entanglement measures. • Context and Methods: Markovian open system, Quantum trajectories. • Application: evaluation of entanglement measures. • Results
Definition of Entanglement • A system is a tensor product of two subsystems: • It is separable, with respect to A and B, if one can write: in the pure case for a mixture • Otherwise it is entangled
Quantifying Entanglement • Entanglement Monotone: 1-M(ρ)≥0, equality if ρ is separable 2-M(ρ)does not grow under Local Operation and Classical Communication 3-Mis convex • Example: concurrence –Tr
Pure state / Mixture • Decomposition of density operator: • How to define the Entanglement measure? • Convex Roof: NotUnique
Quantifying Entanglement Time t Numerics
Optimizing Unraveling • The master equation is invariant up to linear & unitary transform of the jump operators: With unitary U • The average over trajectories is not invariant → it can be optimized
Optimizing Measurement Setup Experimentally, changing the unraveling means changing the Experimental setup: Beam Splitter Unitary transform
Zero temperature environment Initial state: M
Infinite temperature environment Initial state: M
CNOT + dephasing Adding a unitary evolution Jumps: M
3 partite system Initial state: Jump operators (dephasing): M
Conclusion • We propose a characterization of entanglement dynamics from individualexperimental realizations. • We conjecture that there exists an optimal experimental setup which gives the exact measure. • Alternative for step by step optimization. • Mathematical proof for small times in two-partite systems.
Perspectives • Does-it always work (multipartite)? Then why? • Systematical method? Other kinds of unraveling (Q.S.D.)?
