Local aspects of disentanglement induced by spontaneous emission
We consider spontaneous emission of two two-level atoms interacting with
vacuum fluctuations. We study the process of disentanglement in this system and
show the possibility of changing disentanglement time by local operations.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figure
Study of three-nucleon dynamics in the dp breakup collisions using the Wasa detector
An experiment to investigate the ^{1}H(d,pp)n breakup reaction using a deuteron beam of 300, 340, 380 and 400 MeV and the WASA detector has been performed at the Cooler Synchrotron COSY-Jülich. As a first step, the data collected at the beam energy of 340 MeV are analysed, with a focus on the proton–proton coincidences registered in the Forward Detector. Elastically scattered deuterons are used for precise determination of the luminosity. The main steps of the analysis, including energy calibration, particle identification (PID) and efficiency studies, and their impact on the final accuracy of the result, are discussed

Entanglement and nonlocality versus spontaneous emission in two-atom system
We study evolution of entanglement of two two-level atoms in the presence of
dissipation caused by spontaneous emission. We find explicit fromulas for the
amount of entanglement as a function of time, in the case of destruction of the
initial entanglement and possible creation of a transient entanglement between
atoms. We also discuss how spontaneous emission influences nonlocality of
states expressed by violation of Bell - CHSH inequality. It is shown that
evolving system very quickly becomes local, even if entanglement is still
present or produced.Comment: 15 pages, 7 figure
Experimental study of three-nucleon dynamics in proton-deuteron breakup reaction
Proton–deuteron breakup reaction can serve as a tool to test stateof-
the-art descriptions of nuclear interactions. At intermediate energies,
below the threshold for pion production, comparison of the data with exact
theoretical calculations is possible and subtle effects of the dynamics beyond
the pairwise nucleon–nucleon interaction, namely the three-nucleon force
(3NF), are significant. Beside 3NF, Coulomb interaction or relativistic
effects are also important to precisely describe the differential cross section
of the breakup reaction. The data analysis and preliminary results of the
measurement of proton-induced deuteron breakup at the Cyclotron Center
Bronowice, Institute of Nuclear Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences in
Kraków are presented
Quantum recoil effects in finite-time disentanglement of two distinguishable atoms
Starting from the requirement of distinguishability of two atoms by their
positions, it is shown that photon recoil has a strong influence on finite-time
disentanglement and in some cases prevents its appearance. At near-field inter
atomic distances well localized atoms, with maximally one atom being initially
excited, may suffer disentanglement at a single finite time or even at a series
of equidistant finite times, depending on their mean inter atomic distance and
their initial electronic preparation.Comment: 13 pages, 1 figure, submitted to Physical Review on august 2
Study of three-nucleon dynamics in the dp breakup collisions using the WASA detector
An experiment to investigate the 1H(d; pp)n breakup reaction using
a deuteron beam of 300, 340, 380 and 400 MeV and the WASA detector
has been performed at the Cooler Synchrotron COSY-Jülich. As a first
step, the data collected at the beam energy of 340MeV are analysed, with a
focus on the proton–proton coincidences registered in the Forward Detector.
Elastically scattered deuterons are used for precise determination of the
luminosity. The main steps of the analysis, including energy calibration,
particle identification (PID) and efficiency studies, and their impact on the
final accuracy of the result, are discussed
Quantum discord evolution of three-qubit states under noisy channels
We investigated the dissipative dynamics of quantum discord for correlated
qubits under Markovian environments.
The basic idea in the present scheme is that quantum discord is more general,
and possibly more robust and fundamental, than entanglement. We provide three
initially correlated qubits in pure Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) or W
state and analyse the time evolution of the quantum discord under various
dissipative channels such as:
Pauli channels , , and , as well as
depolarising channels. Surprisingly, we find that under the action of Pauli
channel , the quantum discord of GHZ state is not affected by
decoherence. For the remaining dissipative channels, the W state is more robust
than the GHZ state against decoherence. Moreover, we compare the dynamics of
entanglement with that of the quantum discord under the conditions in which
disentanglement occurs and show that quantum discord is more robust than
entanglement except for phase flip coupling of the three qubits system to the
environment.Comment: 17 pages, 4 figures, accepted for publication in EPJ
Effects of decoherence and errors on Bell-inequality violation
We study optimal conditions for violation of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt
form of the Bell inequality in the presence of decoherence and measurement
errors. We obtain all detector configurations providing the maximal Bell
inequality violation for a general (pure or mixed) state. We consider local
decoherence which includes energy relaxation at the zero temperature and
arbitrary dephasing. Conditions for the maximal Bell-inequality violation in
the presence of decoherence are analyzed both analytically and numerically for
the general case and for a number of important special cases. Combined effects
of measurement errors and decoherence are also discussed.Comment: 18 pages, 5 figure
