Entanglement across sliding-pinned transition of ion chains in optical cavities
arXiv:2407.04785 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.110.012461
Abstract
Dissipative quantum systems can under appropriate conditions exhibit bi- or multi-partite entanglement at the steady state. The presence and properties of these quantum correlations depend on the relevant model parameters. Here, we characterize the steady-state entanglement in connection with the spatial structure of a small chain of three ions dispersively coupled with a pumped optical cavity. Within a semiclassical approximation, we describe the relation between entanglement, spatial organization, and vibrational modes of the ion chain. Upon increasing the pumping strength, our system undergoes a transition from a sliding to a pinned configuration, in which ions are expelled from the maxima of the optical potential. The features of the steady-state entanglement strongly depend on the kind of pinned configuration reached. We identify scenarios leading to entangled steady states, analyze the effect of defect formation upon entanglement between different system partitions, and observe the presence of multipartite quantum correlations.
