It is important to thoroughly examine the interaction between a quantum system and its surroundings, as understanding the stability of such systems will foster their applicability for extending previous studies toward the investigation of decoherence in multi-party quantum systems. Evanescently coupled, photonic waveguides with birefringent properties turned out to enable the simulation of open quantum systems and decoherence effects.
A quantum simulation of single and two-photon coupling to a low dimensional discrete environment by sending into the arrays of waveguides on a chip has been studied. This allows us to explicitly observe the amount of information stored in the polarization degrees of freedom as a system and the path degrees of freedom as an environment. This interaction creates quantum correlation at various times during non-Markovian evolution and causes polarization decoherence along the waveguide arrays.
Keywords: integrated waveguide arrays; open quantum system; decoherence
