Environment-induced entanglement generation for two qubits in the presence of qubit-qubit interaction noise (2212.04153v1)

Abstract: Using an exactly solvable pure dephasing model, we show how entanglement between qubits can be generated via the interaction with a common environment and concurrent application of suitable control pulses. The control pulses are able to effectively remove the detrimental effect of the environment while preserving the indirect interaction between the qubits, thereby leading to the generation of near-perfect entanglement. Furthermore, we also investigate the entanglement dynamics if the qubits are directly interacting; this interaction may even contain a noise term. The present of this additional noise leads to an additional decoherence term. This decoherence term cannot be removed by applying the pulses at the same time to both qubits. Rather, we show that by introducing a time delay between the two pulse sequences, near-perfect entanglement can still be generated via the interaction with the common environment.
