IRIS Institutional Research Information System - AIR Archivio Istituzionale della Ricerca

IRIS è il sistema di gestione integrata dei dati della ricerca (persone, progetti, pubblicazioni, attività) adottato dall'Università degli Studi di Milano.

AIR nasce in UNIMI nel 2006 con lo scopo di raccogliere, documentare e conservare le informazioni sulla produzione scientifica dell'Università degli Studi di Milano e costituisce di fatto l'Anagrafe della ricerca dell'Ateneo.

We address the dynamics of quantum correlations for a bipartite continuous-variable quantum system interacting with its fluctuating environment. In particular, we consider two independent quantum oscillators initially prepared in a Gaussian state, e.g., a squeezed thermal state, and compare the dynamics resulting from local noise, i.e., oscillators coupled to two independent external fields, to that originating from common noise, i.e., oscillators interacting with a single common field. We prove non-Markovianity (nondivisibility) of the dynamics in both regimes and analyze the connections between nondivisibility, backflow of information, and revivals of quantum correlations. Our main results may be summarized as follows: (i) revivals of quantumness are present in both scenarios, however, the interaction with a common environment better preserves the quantum features of the system; (ii) the dynamics is always nondivisible but revivals of quantum correlations are present only when backflow of information is present as well. We conclude that nondivisibility in its own is not a resource to preserve quantum correlations in our system, i.e., it is not sufficient to observe recoherence phenomena. Rather, it represents a necessary prerequisite to obtain backflow of information, which is the true ingredient to obtain revivals of quantumness.
