Long-lived entanglement with pulsed-driven initially entangled qubit pair

Abstract

The entanglement of different classes of initially entangled qubit pair is investigated in the presence of short laser pulses of rectangular and exponential shapes with either one or both qubits are excited. For the rectangular pulse, the detuning parameter protects the entanglement from degradation and controls its upper and lower bounds. We show that the upper bounds of entanglement decrease if both particles are excited, but the lower bounds are much better if only one particle is excited. The phenomena of entanglement degradation, sudden-death and -birth are shown for small initial time. Long-lived entanglement behavior, but with a variable degree, appears in the presence of rectangular pulse. However, in the case of the exponential pulse one obtains an invariably long-lived entanglement. For the combined case (rectangular + exponential), we show that one can generate a long-lived entanglement with small variable by increasing the strength of the rectangular pulse area and decreasing the Rabi-frequency of the exponential pulse.
