Abstract

The evolution of entanglement in a non-Hermitian quantum system may behave differently compared to its Hermitian counterpart. In this paper, we investigate the entanglement dynamics of two coupled and driven non-Hermitian qubits. Through calculating the concurrence of the system, we find that the evolution of the bipartite entanglement manifests two distinct patterns in the parameter space. In the low non-Hermiticity regime, the concurrence oscillates significantly, while in the opposite regime the same quantity would trend to a stable value. We attribute this phenomenon to parity-time (

) symmetry phase transition. We also study the effect of decoherence on the entanglement dynamics. Our work provides a method to stabilize entanglement by exploiting non-Hermiticity.

两个非赫米提质子的纠缠动力学

与赫米特量子系统相比，非赫米特量子系统中纠缠的演化可能表现不同。在本文中，我们研究了两个耦合和驱动的非赫米提量子比特的纠缠动力学。通过计算系统的并发性，我们发现双向纠缠的演化在参数空间中表现出两种截然不同的模式。在低非ermiticity 体系中，并发量会出现明显的振荡，而在相反的体系中，相同的量会趋于稳定值。我们将这一现象归因于奇偶性-时间（PT）对称相变。我们还研究了退相干对纠缠动态的影响。我们的工作提供了一种利用非恒定性稳定纠缠的方法。
