Quantumness protection for open systems in a double-layer environment

Abstract

We study the dynamics of the two-level atomic systems (qubits) under a double-layer environment that is consisted of a network of single-mode cavities coupled to a common reservoir. A general exact master equation for the dynamics can be obtained by the quantum-state-diffusion (QSD) equation. The quantumness of the atoms including coherence and entanglement is investigated within various configurations of the external environment. It is shown that the preservation and generation of the quantumness can be controlled by regulating the parameters of the cavity network. Moreover the underlying physics of the results can be profoundly revealed by an effective model via a unitary transformation. Our work provides an interesting proposal in protecting the quantumness of open systems in the framework of a double-layer environment containing bosonic modes.
