Evolution of entanglement in quantum neural network

Abstract

This study concerns with the evolution of entanglement in a quantum neural network (QNN) model that is locally in contact with data environments. As a valuable resource, duration of entanglement in quantum systems is extremely important. Therefore, the effect of various initial states on the occurrence or decay of entanglement are examined in the presence of information reservoirs. In this study, central spin model was investigated as a quantum version of neural networks inspired by biological models. The architecture of the model is based on a central spin system with two nodes where the nodes are coupled to independent spin baths. Numerical results show that initial state preparation has a profound effect on the fate of entanglement. The results show that the entanglement lifetime can be adjusted by engineering the reservoir states as well as the initial states of the system of interest. The results can be used to improve the performance of the formation or distribution of entanglement in realistic communication network states.
