Bath energy for correlated initial states versus information flow in local dephasing channels

Abstract

Variations of the bath energy are compared with the information flow in local dephasing channels. Special correlated initial conditions are prepared from the thermal equilibrium of the whole system, by performing a selective measurement on the qubit. The spectral densities under study are ohmic-like at low frequencies and include logarithmic perturbations of the power-law profiles. The bath and the correlation energy alternately increase or decrease, monotonically, over long times, according to the value of the ohmicity parameter, following logarithmic and power laws. Consider initial conditions such that the environment is in a thermal state, factorized from the state of the qubit. In the super-ohmic regime the long-time features of the information flow are transferred to the bath and correlation energy, by changing the initial condition from the factorized to the specially correlated, even with different temperatures. In fact, the low-frequency structures of the spectral density that provide information backflow with the factorized initial condition, induce increasing (decreasing) bath (correlation) energy with the specially correlated initial configuration. By performing the same change of initial conditions, the spectral properties providing information loss, produce decrease (increase) of the bath (correlation) energy.
