Holevo bound and objectivity in the boson-spin model

Abstract

Emergence of objective, classical properties in quantum systems can be described in the modern language of quantum information theory. In this work, we present an example of such an analysis. We apply the quantum channel theory to a boson-spin model of open quantum systems and calculate, using recoilless approximation and the Floquet theory, the Holevo quantity, which bounds the capacity of the channel, broadcasting information about the central system into its environment. We analyze both the short-time regime, showing quadratic in time initial growth of the capacity, and the asymptotic regime. Complicated dependence on the model parameters, such as temperature, tunneling energy for the environment, etc., is also analyzed, showing, e.g., regimes where the Holevo bound reaches its maximum.
