The Dynamics of Quantum Correlations of Two Qubits in a Common Environment Modeled by Large Random Matrices (2005.05222v1)

Abstract: This paper is a continuation of our previous paper [8], in which we have studied the dynamics of quantum correlations of two qubits embedded each into its own disordered multiconnected environment. We modeled the environment by random matrices of large size allowing for a possibility to describe meso- and even nanoenvironments. In this paper we also study the dynamics of quantum correlations of two qubits but embedded into a common environment which we also model by random matrices of large size. We obtain the large size limit of the reduced density matrix of two qubits. We then use an analog of the Bogolyubov-van Hove (also known as the Born-Markov) approximation of the theory of open systems and statistical mechanics. The approximation does not imply in general the Markovian evolution in our model but allows for sufficiently detailed analysis both analytical and numerical of the evolution of several widely used quantifiers of quantum correlation, mainly entanglement. We find a number of new patterns of qubits dynamics comparing with the case of independent environments studied in [8] and displaying the role of dynamical (indirect, via the environment) correlations in the enhancing and diversification of qubit evolution. Our results, (announced in [9]), can be viewed as a manifestation of the universality of certain properties of the decoherent qubit evolution which have been found previously in various exact and approximate versions of two-qubit models with macroscopic bosonic environment.
