Persistence of quantum information

Abstract

There is an increasing interest in the role of macroscopic environments to our understanding of the basics of quantum theory. The knowledge of the implications of the quantum theory to other theories, especially to the statistical mechanics and the domain of validity has captivated scientists from the beginning of quantum description. In such a context, the presence of an environment is commonly thought as entanglement, decohering and mixing properties of quantum system. Generically, an environment is assumed to be a noisy reservoir or a heat bath. Whereas in common interpretation of statistical mechanics the heat bath is unspecified, in quantum systems a heat bath can also provide an indirect interaction between otherwise totally decoupled subsystems and consequently a means to entangle them \cite{cdkl,dvclp,bfp}. In simple example for the entanglement between two qubits due to the interaction with a common heat bath has been explicitly shown in \cite{b}. Whereas in that paper the bath is described by a collection of harmonic oscillators, it seems to be more reasonable to specify the bath by stochastic forces represented by stochastic fields. From a more general point of view we expect the bath should be better described in a stochastic manner and not by deterministic forces. In the present paper we consider a two level system (qubits) which are able to perform flip processes by a coupling to classical stochastic fields. Thus we bridge the gap between quantum and classical probability theory. This problem is related to many other questions of quantum optics and quantum electronics where quantum statistical aspects arising from the intrinsic quantum character of the system while the possible time-dependence of system parameters may be interpreted as the influence of classical thermal fluctuations.
