Atomic Wehrl Entropy of a Single Qubit System

Abdel-Khalek, S. ; Abdel-Hameed, H. F. and Abdel-Aty, Mahmoud LU (2011) In International Journal of Quantum Information 9(3). p.967-979
Abstract
We propose the use of atomic Wehrl entropy associated to the reduced atomic density operator as an entanglement indicator of bipartite systems. This is applied to a two-level system (one single harmonically trapped ion) by taking into account the linear center-of-mass-motional degree of freedom. Detailed analytical and explicit expressions are given, taking into account different configurations. The results show the important roles played by the laser phase and initial state setting in the evolution of the atomic Q-function, atomic Wehrl entropy and marginal atomic Q-function. Our procedure of using atomic Wehrl entropy may be applied to a system with Hilbert space of high dimension.
