Abstract
In this work, we show how electron-vibrational mode coupling can be used to drive maximally entangled states. The physical system consists of two pairs of quantum dots, each pair with a single electron able to tunnel between the dots, thus encoding a qubit. The electron-vibrational mode coupling, described by the strength parameter , yields to an effective electron-electron interaction, responsible for the formation of a maximally entangled quantum state. Both the formation time and the relative phase of the aforementioned state are strongly dependent on . The quantum dynamics exhibits a nonmonotonic behavior as increases, an effect explained through an effective Hamiltonian that takes into account high-order transition processes.
