Dynamics of bipartite vibrational entanglement under the inherent decoherence process in H_2O

Abstract

In present study, the dynamics of stretching-stretching and stretching-bending entanglement in H2O are studied with considering the inherent decoherence process. It is shown that the excitation in the bending vibration can lead to the decrease of the generation rate of stretching-stretching entanglement for the non-superposed state and the degeneration of entanglement for the initial entangled states. For specific initial entangled states, the stretching-stretching entanglement can live for a long time, and the correspondence between energy transfer and entanglement is still maintained for the initial local mode states. For the stretching-bending vibrations, the stretchingbending entanglement is much lower than the stretching-stretching vibration, and the degeneration rate of stretching-bending entanglement is higher than that of the stretching-stretching entanglement. The excitation in the remaining stretching vibration can induce a higher degree of stretching-bending entanglement. PACS: 05.45.Ac, 03.65.Ud, 33.20.Tp
