Active control of qubit-qubit entanglement evolution
In this work, we propose a scheme to design the time evolution of the entropy
of entanglement between two qubits. It is shown an explicit accurate solution
for the inverse problem of determining the time dependence of the coupling
constant from a user-defined dynamical entanglement function. Such an active
control of entanglement can be implemented in many different physical
implementations of coupled qubits, and we briefly comment on the use of
interacting flux qubits.Comment: Author added, Expanded version, 10 figure
Entanglement in Weisskopf-Wigner theory of atomic decay in free space
In this paper, we use the Weisskopf-Wigner theory to study the entanglement
in the state of the free-space radiation field produced from vacuum due to
atomic decay. We show how bipartite entanglement is shared between different
partitions of the radiation modes. We investigate the role played by the size
of the partitions and their detuning with the decaying atom. The dynamics of
the atom-field entanglement during the atomic decay is also briefly discussed.
From this dynamics, we assert that such entanglement is the physical quantity
that fix the statistical atomic decay time.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, changed from purity to entropy of entanglement
