Abstract: The paper investigates the dynamic evolution behaviors of entanglement and quantum discord of coupled superconducting qubits in circuit QED system. We put emphasis on the effects of cavity field quantum state on quantum entanglement and quantum correlations dynamic behaviors of coupling superconducting qubits. The results show that, (1) generally speaking, the entanglement will appear the death and new birth because of the interaction between qubits and cavity field, on the contrary, this phenomenon will not appear in quantum discord. (2) When the cavity field is in coherent state, the entanglement survival time is controlled by the average photon number. The more the average photon number is, the longer survival time of entanglement is prolonged. Thus it has the benefit of keeping quantum correlations. (3) When the cavity field is in squeezed state, the squeezed amplitude parameters have controlling effects on quantum correlations including entanglement and quantum discord. On the one hand, the increase of squeezed amplitude parameters can prolong the survival time of entanglement, on the other hand, with the increase of squeezed amplitude parameters, the robustness of quantum discord is more and more superior to concurrence and is more advantage to keep the system quantum correlations. The further study results show that the increase of the initial relative phase of coupling superconducting qubits can also keep the quantum correlations. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

The quantum correlation (quantum entanglement and quantum discord)’s dynamical behavior characteristics of Heisenberg XXZ spin chain with Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya (DM) interaction heterogeneous magnetic field that manipulated by sinusoidal wave are investigated in this paper. The results indicate that quantum correlation of anisotropic Heisenberg XXZ spin chain can be regulated effectively by magnetic field intensity B and magnetic field uniformity cos θ of the external magnetic field. Under the effects of DM interaction in qubits, the quantum correlation's dynamics evolution process appears sudden death and birth. But DM interaction has a critical value D C Z which is connected with other quantum correlation versus parameters. Only when D z ≥ D C Z , sudden death and birth can be obviously observed under the rest given parameters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: We study the dynamic evolution of quantum correlation of two interacting coupled qubits system in non-Markov environment, and quantify the quantum correlation using concurrence and quantum discord. We find that although both of them are physical quantities which measure the system characteristics of the quantum correlations, the quantum discord is more robust than concurrence, since it can keep a positive value even when the ESD happens. The quantum correlation of quantum system not only depends on the initial state but also strongly depends on the coupling ways between qubits and environment. For the given initial state, by keeping the coupling between qubits and environment in completely symmetric, we can completely avoid the effect the decoherence influenced on the quantum correlation and effectively prolong the survival time of quantum discord and concurrence. We also find that the stronger the interaction between qubits is, the more conducive the death of the quantum correlation is resisted. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
