• Abstract: We study an open quantum system of two qubits that are coupled by swapping interaction. Using the coupling strength between the qubits as a time scale, the Liouvillian of the system has exceptional points that depend on the disparity between the decay rates of the qubits. We find that the configuration of the initial states plays an important role in deciding the character of the entanglement dynamics at the initial stage of evolution. Depending on whether or not the initial excitations of the qubits can be swapped by the interaction that couples them, a change in the total decay rate can be either consistently unfavorable to entanglement generation, or shift the dynamics from hindering to enhancing entanglement generation, or vice versa, as the system traverses the exceptional points. The shift could also occur in a wide range of mixed states. We clarify the origin of the behavior in this work.

  We identify a dynamical transition marking the onset of scrambling in quantum circuits with different levels of long-range connectivity. We show that as a function of the interaction range for circuits of different structures, the tripartite mutual information exhibits a scaling collapse. In addition to systems with conventional power-law interactions, we identify the same phenomenon in deterministic, sparse circuits.

  Signatures of localization have been observed in condensed matter and cold atomic systems. We propose a model of one-dimensional chain of non-interacting, spinless fermions coupled to a local ensemble of baths. We show that the steady state of the system undergoes a localization entanglement phase transition by tuning $p$ which remains stable in the presence of coherent hopping.

  We study the time required to maximally entangle two principal systems interacting under the same energy constraints. Direct interactions are proved to provide the fastest way to entangle the principal systems, but it turns out that there exist mediated dynamics that are just as fast. The final message is that correlations save energy: one has to supply extra energy if maximal entanglement across the principal systems is to be obtained as fast as with an initially correlated mediator.

  We focus on two qubits coupled to an adjustable environment, namely a semi-infinite transmission line. We examine entanglement dynamics in this model system with initial Werner state, and show that the phenomena of entanglement sudden death and revival can be observed. We introduce a new type of entangled state called pseudo-Werner state, which preserves as much entangling property as the Werner state, and more importantly, is experiment friendly.
