Dinâmica de emaranhamento em um sistema multipartido

Abstract

We studied the entanglement dynamics of a many body system. The model that we used consists of a harmonic oscillator (main oscillator) linearly coupled to N others. Initially, the main oscillator is prepared in a superposition of two coherent states and the N others in the ground states. From this initial state we obtain the temporal evolution of the system analytically. We divide this system in three arbitrary partitions and we quantify the entanglement, by concurrence, between any two partitions. We show that the concurrence of any two partitions depends on the overlap between the two coherent states forming the initial superposition of the main oscillator and the distribution of excitations in the partitions. We also show that the residual entanglement is always present. Finally, we obtain a hierarchy of entanglement between the main oscillator and partitions formed by the N others. For long times, the excitations of the main oscillator are completely transferred to the N others and these are found entangled.
