两量子比特量子态量子不和谐的几何图像

Geometric picture of quantum discord for two-qubit quantum states

Mingjun Shi, Fengjian Jiang, Chunxiao Sun, Jiangfeng Du

摘要:

在量子关联的各种定义中,量子不和谐引起了人们的极大关注。寻找量子不协调的解析表达式是一个棘手的任务。精确的结果只知道非常特殊的状态,即两个量子比特的X形状态。本文提出了一种几何的观点,从这个观点可以清楚地描述两个量子比特的量子不和谐。用直观的几何语言重述了X态不协调的已知结果。因此,在退相干的存在下,X态的经典关联和量子不协调的动力学被赋予了几何解释。更重要的是,我们将几何方法推广到了更一般的态的情形,对于这些态,关于量子不和谐的数值和解析结果还没有被发现。在数值计算的支持下,提出了一些建立几何图形的方法。我们发现这些态的几何图象与X态的几何图象有密切的关系。从而在某些情况下可以得到经典关联和量子不和谐的解析表达式。

英文摘要:

Among various definitions of quantum correlations, quantum discord has attracted considerable attention. To find analytical expression of quantum discord is an intractable task. Exact results are known only for very special states, namely, two-qubit X-shaped states. We present in this paper a geometric viewpoint, from which two-qubit quantum discord can be described clearly. The known results about X state discord are restated in the directly perceivable geometric language. As a consequence, the dynamics of classical correlations and quantum discord for an X state in the presence of decoherence is endowed with geometric interpretation. More importantly, we extend the geometric method to the case of more general states, for which numerical as well as analytica results about quantum discord have not been found yet. Based on the support of numerical computations, some conjectures are proposed to help us establish geometric picture. We find that the geometric picture for these states has intimate relationship with that for X states. Thereby in some cases analytical expressions of classical correlations and quantum discord can be obtained.
