This paper presents an exact solution for the evolution operator of the three-qubit Jaynes-Cummings model. It is assumed that the qubits are prepared at the initial moment of time in genuine entangled W- and GHZ-type states, and the field is in a vacuum state. Based on the exact solution, wave functions, density matrix elements, and qubit entanglement parameters - the pairwise negativity criterion and the fidelity - were calculated. Using the entanglement parameters, the full analysis of the qubit entanglement dynamics was performed.

In this paper, we investigated the dynamics of entanglement of two qubits interacting non-resonantly with the thermal field of a one-mode lossless resonator, taking into account the Ising-type direct interaction between qubits. Based on the exact solution of the quantum Liouville equation, we found the density matrix of the system under consideration. With its help, the reduced qubit-qubit density matrix was calculated and the entanglement criteriоn of the two-qubit system, Pres-Horodeсki parameter, was found. It was shown that for the resonance model and separable initial states of qubits, the direct interaction of qubits leads to a significant increase in the maximum degree of their entanglement. It was also found that for the nonresonant interaction between qubits and field, the increase of the maximum degree of entanglement of qubits is much greater than that due to direct interaction. For the original entangled Bell-type state of the qubits, the direct interaction was found to lead to the vanishing of the effect of the sudden death of entanglement in the case of a resonant qubit-field interaction and, conversely, to an increase in this effect for a nonresonant interaction.

Background. The need to implement controlled coupling between qubits, which are the logical elements of quantum devices such as quantum computers and quantum networks, requires, along with the use of traditional methods, the development of new, more effective ways to organize the interaction of qubits with the microwave fields of resonators used to generate and control the entanglement of qubits. As one of these methods, a method based on the influence of frequency-regulated radio frequency signals on a superconducting Josephson qubit connected by a large Josephson junction to a free qubit has been proposed. Aim. The influence of the Kerr medium of the resonator, in which one of the two qubits is placed, on their entanglement induced by the coherent or thermal frequency-regulated radio frequency field of the resonator is considered. Methods. To analyze the dynamics of the system under consideration, the solution of the quantum Liouville equation for the full density matrix is studied. An exact solution o this equation is found in the case of initial separable and entangled states of qubits. The exact solution of the evolution equation is used to calculate the criterion of qubit-qubit entanglement – cconcurrence. Numerical modeling of the concurrence was carried out for various states of qubits, coherent and thermal fields of the resonator, as well as various values of the intensity of the resonator field and the Kerr nonlinearity parameter. Results. It is shown that for separable initial states of qubits, the inclusion of Kerr nonlinearity reduces the maximum degree of entanglement of qubits. For an entangled initial state of qubits, the possibility of creating long-lived entangled states in the presence of Kerr nonlinearity is shown. Conclusion. The type of initial states of qubits and the range of values of the intensities of the resonator fields and the Kerr nonlinearity parameters have been established, for which the most effective control and operation of the evolution of qubits, as well as the degree of their entanglement, in the physical system under consideration, is possible.

We found the exact solution for a model consisting of two dipole-coupled qubits, one of which is an isolated, and the other interacts with the thermal mode of a cavity with the Kerr medium. The results showed that Kerr nonlinearity may greatly enhance the degree of entanglement induced by a thermal field both for separable and entangled initial states of qubits. We also showed the possibility of the disappearance of the sudden death of entanglement for a model with a Kerr nonlinearity. Keywords: qubits, thermal field, Kerr nonlinearity, dipole-dipole interaction, entanglement, sudden death of entanglement.

In this article, we consider the dynamics of three identical qubits interacting not-resonantly with a thermal field of an ideal resonator with a Kerr medium. We have found the solutions of the Liouville quantum equation for the total density matrix of a system under consideration for the initial separable, biseparable, and genuine entangled states of the qubits and the thermal initial state of the resonator field. By averaging the total density matrix over the variables of the resonator field and the variables of one of the qubits, we found the reduced density matrix of the pair of remaining qubits. Two-qubit density matrices were used to calculate the qubit-qubit negativity. The results showed that detuning and Kerr nonlinearity can greatly enhance the amout of entanglement for initial separable state of a pair of qubits. It is also shown that detuning and a Kerr medium can inhibit the sudden death of entanglement.

Background. To operate a quantum computer, a set of universal gates must be implemented, such as a two-cubit gate of the controlled negation type plus one-cubit spins. As a universal alternative, three-cubic-bit gates may be used. In this regard, it seems very relevant to investigate the dynamics of three-qubit systems in microwave resonators, in particular to study the most efficient schemes for generating, controlling, and monitoring entangled qubit states. Aim. To investigate the features of the dynamics of entangled pairs of qubits for a system in which two qubits are locked in a single-mode resonator and interact with the thermal field mode, and the third qubit is in a free state. Methods. To analyze the dynamics of the considered system, the solution of the quantum Liouville equation for the full density matrix is investigated. The exact solution of the above equation in the case of initial biseparable states of the qubits is found. The exact solution of the evolution equation is used to calculate the criterion of entanglement of qubit pairs – negativity. Numerical simulations of negativity for biseparable qubit states as well as different values of the thermal field intensity of the resonator have been carried out. Results. It is shown that for intense thermal fields of the resonator the effect of instantaneous death of entanglement is observed, while the time intervals between death and revival of entanglement of qubits depend essentially on the choice of their initial biseparable state. It is found that for one of the biseparable states, entanglement of qubits trapped in the resonator does not occur at any field intensities of the resonator. Conclusion. It is found that the peculiarities of the dynamics of entanglement of qubits, in particular the time intervals between the death and birth of entangled qubits, are determined by the choice of the initial biseparable state of qubits, as well as by the values of the field intensity of the resonator. The results obtained can be used to effectively control and manage the degree of qubit entanglement in three-qubit systems in microwave resonators.

In this paper, we consider the model consisting of an isolated qubit and two qubits trapped in a lossless cavity and interacting with cavity thermal field via many-photon transitions. We obtain the exact solution of the model under consideration. On its basis we calculate the negativity as a measure of pair qubits entanglement. It is shown that, for many-photons processes entanglement is stronger than for that in the linear one-photon processes and can suppress the sudden death of qubit-qubit entanglement. The pairwise entanglement transfer between qubits pairs are also observed.

A system consisting of two identical qubits not-resonantly interacting with a thermal quantum field of a lossless resonator with a Kerr media via degenerate two-photon transition is considered. An exact solution of the quantum Liouville equation for the total density matrix of the considered system is obtained. To solve the quantum evolution equation we used the dressed states representation. The complete set of dressed states is found. The exact solution of the quantum Liouville equation is used to calculate the time dependencies of qubit-qubit entanglement parameter (negativity) for Bell type entangled qubits states. The results showed that Kerr nonlinearity can diminish the amplitudes of the Rabi oscillations of entanglement parameter and suppress the effect of sudden death of entanglement.

In this work, we have studied the dynamics of entanglement of two identical superconducting qubits resonantly interacting with the one-mode field of a coplanar microwave cavity without loss through single-photon transitions in the presence of third- and fifth-order nonlinearities. Based on the solution of the equation of evolution of the system for the Fock initial states of the cavity field, the criterion of qubits entanglement negativity is calculated. The results of the negativity calculation show that for the initial separable states, the cavity nonlinearity can lead to a significant increase in the maximum degree of qubit entanglement. It is shown that for the initial entangledstates of qubits and intense cavity fields, taking into account nonlinearities leads to stabilization of the degree of entanglement of qubits in the cavity and contributes to the disappearance of the effect of the entanglement sudden death of qubits.

Background. Interest in the study of entangled states of systems of natural and artificial atoms (qubits) interacting with selected modes of microwave resonators is associated with their use as logic elements of quantum computers. At the same time, the most important task of the physics of quantum computing is the choice of the most effective mechanisms for manipulating and controlling the entangled states of qubits in such devices. Aim. The dynamics of the entanglement of two dipole-coupled superconducting Josephson qubits induced by a thermal noise of a coplanar resonator is studied for various initial states of the qubits. Methods. Based on the exact solution of the quantum Liouville equation for the whole density matrix of the system under consideration, the time behavior of the qubit entanglement parameter (negativity) is found for chaotic thermal, pure separable, and entangled initial states of qubits. Results. It is shown that the entanglement of qubits induced by the thermal noise of the resonator is possible for both the chaotic thermal states and separable states of qubits, except the case when both qubits are excited. It has also been found that, for small values of the dipole–dipole interaction parameter, taking this interaction into account leads to an increase in the degree of entanglement. For values of the dipole-dipole interaction parameter greater than some limit value, the opposite effect takes place. It is found that for entangled initial states of qubits, the inclusion of direct interaction has a small effect on the entanglement dynamics. It is shown that the initial coherence of qubit states can lead to a significant increase in the degree of their entanglement in the presence of a dipole–dipole interaction. Conclusion. The dipole-dipole interaction can be used as an effective mechanism for qubits entanglement manipulation and controlling.

In this article, we consider the entanglement between three identical qubits resonantly interacting with a thermal field of an Q-infinite resonator. We derived the exact solution of the evolution equation for density matrix of the considered system. On it basis we calculate the negativity as a criteria of entanglement between pairs of qubits for biseparable and entangled W-type states of qubits. The results showed that for considered initial qubits states the effect of the entanglement sudden death occurs for all values of the average number of thermal photons.

In this paper, we investigated the dynamics of entanglement of two identical charge qubits with Josephson junctions in the case when one of the qubits is exposed to a microwave field in a coherent or thermal state. We have found the exact solution of the quantum time equation of evolution of the system under consideration for the statistical operator in the case of initial separable and entangled states of qubits. The exact solution for the complete statistical operator is used to calculate the qubit entanglement criterion - concurrence. The results of numerical simulation of the time dependence of the concurrence in the case of the coherent field showed that, with a certain choice of model parameters, the system can realize long-lived entangled states. It is also shown that for the thermal state of the field and the entangled initial state of qubits, the qubits retain a certain degree of entanglement during evolution even in the case of very intensive fields. In this case, for any intensities of thermal noise, there is no effect of the sudden death of entanglement.

In this paper, we investigated the dynamics of entanglement of pairs of qubits in a system of three identical qubits that interact non-resonantly with the selected mode of a microwave resonator without loss with the Kerr medium by means of single-photon transitions. We have found solutions to the quantum time Schrodinger equation for the total wave function of the system for the initial separable, biseparable and true entangled states of qubits and the Fock initial state of the resonator field. Based on these solutions, the criterion of entanglement of qubit pairs — negativity is calculated. The results of numerical simulation of the negativity of qubit pairs have shown that the presence of disorder and Kerr nonlinearity in the case of an initial non-entangled state of a pair of qubits can lead to a significant increase in the degree of their entanglement. In the case of an initial entangled state of a pair of qubits, the disorder and the Kerr medium can lead to a significant stabilization of the initial entanglement.

The entanglement between two qubits not-resonantly interacting with a single-mode field of an ideal resonator with Kerr media via degenerate two-photon transitions was studied. The exact solution for time-dependent density matrix and calculated on its basis the qubit-qubit entanglement parameter - negativity was derived. The results showed that Kerr media and detuning dramatically affected the entanglement behavior. More interestingly, that for initial entangled qubits states Kerr media and detuning avoids the entanglement sudden death effect.

In this paper, we investigated the entanglement dynamics between two two-level natural or artificial atoms interacting with a thermal one-mode field of lossless cavity taking into account the direct dipole-dipole and Ising coupling. We obtained the exact solution for time-dependent density matrix and calculated atom-atom negativity. The results showed that for dipole-uncoupled atoms and resonant atoms-field interaction the entanglement greatly enhances with Ising coupling increasing. In contrast, for model with non-zero detuning the Ising coupling has almost no effect on the degree of entanglement. We also derived that for resonant interaction and dipole-coupled atoms the anti-Ferromagnetic coupling produces a slightly higher degree of entanglement in comparison with the Ferromagnetic coupling. For entangled initial atomic states we obtained that Ising coupling interaction has effect on entanglement behavior only for a model with large detuning values.

Despite remarkable progress toward the understanding of the formation pathways leading to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in combustion systems and in deep space, the complex reaction pathways leading to nitrogen-substituted PAHs (NPAHs) at low temperatures of molecular clouds and hydrocarbon-rich, nitrogen-containing atmospheres of planets and their moons like Titan have remained largely obscure. Here, we demonstrate through laboratory experiments and computations that the simplest prototype of NPAHs - quinoline and isoquinoline (C9H7N) - can be synthesized via rapid and de-facto barrier-less reactions involving o-, m- and p-pyridinyl radicals (C5H4N˙) with vinylacetylene (C4H4) under low-temperature conditions.

We studied the dynamics of two qubits interacting with one-mode thermal quantum electromagnetic field of microwave cavity with Kerr medium. Using the exact solution for considered model we derived the qubit-qubit negativity for separa coherent initial qubits states. We showed that initial qubits coherencee interaction can greatly enhance the degree of qubits entanglement in the presence of the Kerr nonlinearity and dipole-dipole interactionyeven for high thermal field intensities.

In this article, we consider two dipole-coupled superconducting qubits interacting with thermal electromagnetic field of a lossless resonator with a Kerr medium. We derive the solution for the considered model. On its foundation we calculate concurrence as a criterion of qubits entanglement. It is shown that, under certain conditions, the Kerr nonlinearity and direct dipole-dipole interaction of qubits can enhance the maximum degree of qubits etanglement induced by a thermal field.

In this paper, we investigate entanglement between two two-level atoms when they simultaneously interact with a single-mode thermal field of a lossless cavity with Kerr medium. We show that a slight Kerr nonlinearity might enhance the degree of entanglement between the atoms. More interestingly, both atoms would somehow get entangled even when both atoms are initially in the excited state.

In this paper, we investigate entanglement between two qubits when they simultaneously not-resonantly interact with a single-mode thermal field through the degenerate two-photon transitions. We obtain the exact solution of the quantum Liouville equation for density matrix of the considered systems in the "dressed" states representation. On its basis the calculate the qubit-qubit reduced density matrix and negativity. We show that a slight detuning between the qubit transition frequency and the twice field frequency might cause high entanglement between the qubits.
