Dynamics of quantum steerability for two atoms in coupled cavities
Ye-Qi Zhang, Yong-Tao Sun, Liang Chen · Journal of Modern Optics · 2018
We study the dynamics of quantum steerability between two non-interacting atoms, each of which is trapped inside one of two coupled cavities. Compared with entanglement, quantum steerability manifests sudden birth and sudden death phenomenon during the time evolution. We find that the cavity decay plays a destruction role for both steerability and entanglement. It is also shown that the survival time as well as the maximal value of steerability are sensitive to the asymmetry of the cavities. Moreover, it is found the sudden death of steerability can be controlled by the hopping rate of the coupled cavities.
