Controlling entanglement in a triple-well system of dipolar atoms (2305.09754v1)
Abstract: We study the dynamics of entanglement and atomic populations of ultracold dipolar bosons in an aligned three-well potential described by an extended Bose-Hubbard model. We focus on a sufficiently strong interacting regime where the couplings are tuned to obtain an integrable system, in which the time evolution exhibits a resonant behavior that can be exactly predicted. Within this framework, we propose a protocol that includes an integrability breaking step by tilting the edge wells for a short time through an external field, allowing the production of quantum states with a controllable degree of entanglement. We analyze this protocol for different initial states and show the formation of highly entangled states as well as NOON-like states. These results offer valuable insights into how entanglement can be controlled in ultracold atom systems that may be useful for the proposals of new quantum devices.
