Quantum coherence dynamics of displaced squeezed thermal state in a Non-Markovian environment

Abstract

The dynamical behavior of quantum coherence of a displaced squeezed thermal state in contact with an external bath is discussed in the present work. We use a Fano-Anderson type of Hamiltonian to model the environment and solve the quantum Langevin equation. From the solution of the quantum Langevin equation we obtain the Green's functions which are used to calculate the expectation value of the quadrature operators which are in turn used to construct the covariance matrix. We use a relative entropy based measure to calculate the quantum coherence of the mode. The single mode squeezed thermal state is studied in the Ohmic, sub-Ohmic and the super-Ohmic limits for different values of the mean photon number. In all these limits, we find that when the coupling between the system and the environment is weak, the coherence decays monotonically and exhibit a Markovian nature. When the system and the environment are strongly coupled, we observe that the evolution is initially Markovian and after some time it becomes non-Markovian. The non-Markovian effect is due to the environmental back action on the system. Finally, we also present the steady state dynamics of the coherence in the long time limit in both low and high temperature regime. We find that the qualitative behavior remains the same in both the low and high temperature limits. But quantitative values differ because the coherence in the system is lower due to thermal decoherence.
