Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the unified bound of quantum speed limit time in open systems based on the modified Bures angle. This bound is applied to the damped Jaynes-Cummings model and the dephasing model, and the analytical quantum speed limit time is obtained for both models. As an example, the maximum coherent qubit state with white noise is chosen as the initial states for the damped Jaynes-Cummings model. It is found that the quantum speed limit time in both the non-Markovian and the Markovian regimes can be decreased by the white noise compared with the pure state. In addition, for the dephasing model, we find that the quantum speed limit time is not only related to the coherence of initial state and non-Markovianity, but also dependent on the population of initial excited state.

Introduction
In the quantum information processing, the evolution of quantum systems are significant for both the closed and open systems. The quantum speed limit (QSL) time of the closed system is defined as the minimal evolution time (corresponding to the maximal evolution velocity) from the initial state to its orthogonal state. A unified quantum speed limit time is given by the Mandelstan-Tamm (MT) bound and the Margolus-Levitin (ML) bound, i.e., \({\tau }_{{\rm{qsl}}}=\max \{\pi \hslash /(2\Delta E),\pi \hslash /(2\left\langle E\right\rangle )\}\)1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11. The quantum speed limit is also related to other quantum information processing, such as the role of entanglement in QSL12, the elementary derivation for passage time13, the geometric QSL based on statistical distance14,15, the quantum evolution control16, the relationship among with coherence and asymmetry17, and so on.
In the practical scenarios, due to the interaction with surroundings, the evolution of quantum system should be treated with open system theory18. Recently, the concepts of quantum speed limit were extended to the open quantum systems. For example, Taddei et al. investigated the QSL employing the quantum Fisher information19 through the method developed in the ref. 20. Using the relative purity, del Campo et al. derived a MT type time-energy uncertainty relation21. Utilizing the Bures angle, Deffner and Lutz arrived a unified QSL bound for initial pure state, and showed that non-Markovian effects could speed up the quantum evolution22. Other forms of QSL in open system were also reported, such as the QSL in different environments23,24,25,26,27,28,29, the initial-state dependence30, the geometric form for Wigner phase space31, the experimentally realizable metric32. In addition, many other aspects of QSL were also widely studied such as using the fidelity33,34 and function of relative purity35,36, the mechanism for quantum speedup37, the connection with generation of quantumness38, generalization of geometric QSL form39, via gauge invariant distance40, even the QSL for almost all states41, and so on.
As a measure of distance, the Bures angle based on the Uhlmann fidelity has good properties, such as contractivity and triangle inequality. And, it is applied to the field of quantum speed limit in recently22. However, the Bures angle is hard to measure the quantum speed limit for initial mixed state because it needs to calculate the square roots of matrices15. In the ref. 43,44, the authors derived an upper bound of Uhlmann fidelity (modified fidelity) between the mixed states, and obtained the upper bound of Bures angle. In this paper, we obtained the bound of quantum speed limit time for the initial mixed state according to the upper bound of Bures angle. The results showed that this bound is always tighter than the bound based on the Bures angle. For two-level system, the modified fidelity is consistent with the Uhlmann fidelity. So, the bound of the quantum speed limit based on the modified Bures angle is tight. As an application, this bound is employed to the damped Jaynes-Cummings model and dephasing model, respectively. The quantum speed limit time for both models are obtained analytically. As an example with generality, the maximum coherent qubit state with white noise is chosen as the initial state for the damped Jaynes-Cummings model. The evolution of the quantum system can be accelerated not only in the non-Markovian regime but also in the Markovian regime, and the quantum speed limit time will become short with the increasing of white noise. While, for the dephasing model, the quantum speed limit time is not only related to the coherence of initial state and non-Markovianity, but also dependent on the population of initial excited state. Generally speaking, the quantum speed limit is affected by many factors (such as the structure of environment, the form of the initial state), and the comprehensive competition of them determine the properties of quantum speed limit time.
Results
In the quantum information processing, the Bures angle \({\mathcal{L}}(\rho ,\sigma )=\arccos [\sqrt{F(\rho ,\sigma )}]\) is commonly used to measure the distance between the states ρ and σ with the Uhlmann fidelity \(F(\rho ,\sigma )={({\rm{tr}}[\sqrt{\sqrt{\rho }\sigma \sqrt{\rho }}])}^{2}\). In the field of quantum speed limit, Bures angle is employed to the initial pure state22, where the Bures angle can be simplified as \({\mathcal{L}}({\rho }_{0},{\rho }_{t})=\arccos \ [\sqrt{\left\langle {\psi }_{0}\right|{\rho }_{t}\left|{\psi }_{0}\right\rangle }]\). However, due to calculation of the square roots of matrices, it is hard to obtain the quantum speed limit time in open system for the initial mixed state. Utilizing the function of relative purity36, the quantum speed limit can be extend to the initial mixed state, however it is not an optimal distance metric even for two-level system in some cases (similar numerical simulation42). In the refs. 43,44, an upper bound of Uhlmann fidelity between mixed states and the modified Bures angle are proposed. Employing this modified Bures angle, we give a unified bound of quantum speed limit time, which is tight for initial two-level state or pure state.
The upper bound of Uhlmann fidelity \({\mathcal{F}}(\rho ,\sigma )\) and the Uhlman fidelity F(ρ, σ) satisfy the inequality \(F(\rho ,\sigma )\ \le \ {\mathcal{F}}(\rho ,\sigma )\)43,44, where \({\mathcal{F}}(\rho ,\sigma )\) is defined as
The modified Bures angle is defined as
and it meets the following inequality with the Bures angle
Using the derivation in the Method section, we can have a unified bound of the quantum speed limit time
where
and
According to the relationship among the norm of matrix ∥A∥tr ≥ ∥A∥hs ≥ ∥A∥op45, the “velocity” of quantum evolution satisfies the inequality \({\varLambda }_{\tau }^{{\rm{op}}}\ \le \ {\varLambda }_{\tau }^{{\rm{hs}}}\ \le \ {\varLambda }_{\tau }^{{\rm{tr}}}\). Obviously, the ML bound based on operator norm provides the sharpest bound of quantum speed limit time in the open quantum system. As an application, it is applied to two paradigm models, i.e., the damped Jaynes-Cummings model and dephasing model.
The damped Jaynes-Cummings model
The total Hamiltonian of system and reservoir is \(H=\frac{1}{2}{\omega }_{0}{\sigma }_{z}+{\sum }_{k}{\omega }_{k}{b}_{k}^{\dagger }{b}_{k}+{\sum }_{k}\left({g}_{k}{\sigma }_{+}{b}_{k}+\,{\rm{h.c}}\right)\), and the evolution of reduced system is described by the master equation
where γt is the time-dependent decay rate. The quantum system at time τ is analytically given by
with parameter \({q}_{\tau }={e}^{-{\Gamma }_{\tau }/2}\), \({\Gamma }_{\tau }={\int }_{0}^{\tau }dt{\gamma }_{t}\). Without loss of generality, assuming the structure of non-Markovian reservoir is Lorentzian form
where λ is the spectral width of reservoir and γ0 is the coupling strength between the system and reservoir. The ratio γ0/λ determines the non-Markovianity of quantum dynamics. When γ0/λ > 1/2, non-Markovian effect can influence the evolution of system distinctly18. Time-dependent decay rate γt and parameter qτ can be given with the explicit form as18
with parameter \(h=\sqrt{{\lambda }^{2}-2{\gamma }_{0}\lambda }\).
Turning into the Bloch representation, the mixed initial state can be expressed as
where, rx, ry, rz are the Bloch vectors. The quantum speed limit time for the mixed initial state (11) is
where the parameters \({\kappa }_{1}=\sqrt{1-{r}_{x}^{2}-{r}_{y}^{2}-{r}_{z}^{2}}\) and \({\kappa }_{2}^{t}=\sqrt{{q}_{t}^{2}(2+2{r}_{z}-{r}_{x}^{2}-{r}_{y}^{2}-{q}_{t}^{2}{(1+{r}_{z})}^{2})}\). For the two-level quantum state (11), one can follow the ref. 36, and investigate the effect of coherence of the initial state and the population of initial excited state on the quantum speed limit time.
As an example with generality, we will assume the initial state to be a two-level maximally coherent state \(\left|\psi \right\rangle =\left(\left|0\right\rangle +\left|1\right\rangle \right)\)/\(\sqrt{2}\) with white noise
where \({\mathbb{I}}\) (identity matrix) means the white noise, and p ∈ [0, 1] is the component of \(\left|\psi \right\rangle \). The tightest ML bound of quantum speed limit time can be given analytically as
with \({\kappa }_{1{\rm{w}}}=\sqrt{1-{p}^{2}}\) and \({\kappa }_{2\,{\rm{w}}\,}^{t}=\sqrt{{q}_{t}^{2}\left(2-{p}^{2}-{q}_{t}^{2}\right)}\). One can find that the quantum speed limit time (14) is determined by the white noise and the interaction with the environment. In Fig. 1, we show the ratio between the quantum speed limit time and actual driven time τqsl/τ for the initial state (13) as functions of the coupling strength γ0 and the component of white noise, which is expressed as 1 − p. The actual driven time is τ = 1 and the non-Markovian parameter is chosen as λ = 15 (in unit of ω0). As the previous results in the ref. 30,36, the evolution of the system will be accelerated not only in the non-Markovian regime but also in the Markovian regime when the initial state is not the excited state. And, we can observe that the quantum speed limit time reaches the maximum when γ0 is in the vicinity of λ/2, and becomes shorter as the increasing of white noise. From the perspective that the quantum state will evolve to a full mixed state when the time is enough long, a reasonable explanation is that the quantum state with large purity will change more significantly when the initial state is pure and the evolution time is finite, and the discrimination between the initial and final state can be measured using fidelity or Bures angle. So, the quantum speed limit time will be shorter when the component of the white noise is larger.
When the initial state is maximum coherence state \(\left|\psi \right\rangle =(\left|1\right\rangle +\left|0\right\rangle )\)/\(\sqrt{2}\), i.e., without white noise, the quantum speed limit time (14) can be simplified as
which agrees with the result reported in the ref. 30 based on the Bures angle \({\mathcal{L}}(\rho ,\sigma )\).
The dephasing model
It can be described as spin-boson form interaction between qubit system and a bosonic reservoir, the total Hamiltonian is \(H=\frac{1}{2}{\omega }_{0}{\sigma }_{z}+{\sum }_{k}{\omega }_{k}{b}_{k}^{\dagger }{b}_{k}+{\sum }_{k}{\sigma }_{z}\left({g}_{k}{b}_{k}^{\dagger }+{g}_{k}^{* }{b}_{k}\right)\). The dynamics of reduced quantum system ρt is
For the initial state in Bloch representation (11), the reduced state in time τ has the following form
According to the basic operating rules of quantum optics and quantum open systems, and taking the continuum limit of reservoir mode and assuming the spectrum of reservoir J(ω), the dephasing factor Γτ can be given explicitly as18
where kB is the Boltzmann’s constant and T is temperature.
For the zero temperature condition, choosing Ohmic-like spectrum with soft cutoff J(ω) = ηωs/\({\omega }_{c}^{s-1}\exp \left(-\omega /{\omega }_{c}\right)\), and assuming the cutoff frequency ωc is unit, the dephasing factor Γτ can be solved analytically as46
where Γ(⋅) is the Euler gamma function and η is dimensionless constant. The property of environment is determined by parameter s, and the reservoir can be divided into the sub-Ohmic reservoir (s < 1), Ohmic reservoir (s = 1) and super-Ohmic reservoir (s > 1). The dephasing rate γt, i.e., the derivative of dephasing factor Γt, has analytical form \({\gamma }_{t}=\eta {\left(1+{t}^{2}\right)}^{-s/2}\Gamma (s)\ \sin [s\arctan \ t]\).
The ML bound of quantum speed limit time based on the operator norm can be given as
where the parameters \({\chi }_{1}=\sqrt{1-{{\mathcal{C}}}^{2}-{\left\langle {\sigma }_{z}\right\rangle }^{2}}\) and \({\chi }_{1}^{t}=\sqrt{1-{{\mathcal{C}}}^{2}{e}^{-2{\Gamma }_{t}}-{\left\langle {\sigma }_{z}\right\rangle }^{2}}\). In the Eq. (20), we use the fact that the coherence of initial state (11) satisfied \({{\mathcal{C}}}^{2}={r}_{x}^{2}+{r}_{y}^{2}\) and the Bloch vector rz means the population of initial excited state \(\left\langle {\sigma }_{z}\right\rangle \).
In Fig. 2(a), we demonstrate the ratio between the quantum speed limit time (20) and the actual driven time τqsl/τ as functions of the Ohmic parameter s and coherence of initial state \({\mathcal{C}}\). The actual driven time is constant τ = 3 and \(\left\langle {\sigma }_{z}\right\rangle \) is chosen as zero. One can observe that the bound of quantum speed limit time will be tighter when the coherence of initial state \({\mathcal{C}}\) become greater. Compared with the quantum coherence, the effect of non-Markoviantity (corresponded to γt and related to s) on the quantum speed limit time is weaker. In the non-Markovian regime, the quantum speed limit time will decrease slightly. The physical analysis of similar phenomenon for pure initial state based on the Bures angle is given in the previous ref. 30. In Fig. 2(b), we show the ratio between the quantum speed limit time (20) and the actual driven time τqsl/τ as functions of the Ohmic parameter s and the population of initial excited state \(\left\langle {\sigma }_{z}\right\rangle \). The actual driven time is chosen as constant τ = 3 and the coherence of initial state is \({\mathcal{C}}=0.6\). It is easy to find that the quantum speed limit time is influenced strongly by the population \(\left\langle {\sigma }_{z}\right\rangle \) and increases rapidly as the population \(\left\langle {\sigma }_{z}\right\rangle \) become larger. When we choose the τ = 3, one should notice that we can observe more obvious quantum speed-up phenomenon than the condition τ = 1.
One can observe that the quantum speed limit time (20) is not only related to the coherence of initial state and the non-Markovianity of dynamics, but also dependent on the population of initial excited state. It is different from the results using the function of relative purity35,36, where the quantum speed limit time is independent of \(\left\langle {\sigma }_{z}\right\rangle \). For a mixed initial state, the dephasing processing means that losing of information without losing of energy, so the energy of the system (related to \(\left\langle {\sigma }_{z}\right\rangle \)) influences the system evolution is reasonable and physical consistent. So, the quantum speed limit time (20) recovers more information about the dephasing processing.
Discussion
The quantum speed limit play important roles in both the closed and open systems, and the experiment implementation had been reported based on cavity QED platform47. Utilizing the upper bound of Uhlmann fidelity, we investigated the unified bound of quantum speed limit time in open systems based on the modified Bures angle, and this bound is tight for pure state and qubit state. We applied this bound to the damped Jaynes-Cummings model and dephasing model, and obtained the analytical results for both models. For the damped Jaynes-Cummings model, the maximum coherent qubit state with white noise is chosen as the initial state, and its quantum speed limit time can be decreased not only in the non-Markovian regime but also in the Markovian regime, and can be influenced significantly by even small noises. While, for the dephasing model, the quantum speed limit time is not only related to the coherence of initial state and non-Markovianity, but also dependent on the population of initial excited state. It should be noted the bound of quantum speed limit time (4) maybe fail to measure the evolution of high dimensional mixed system, and the general quantum speed limit of mixed quantum system deserves further investigation.
Method
In this section, we will derive the quantum speed limit of open quantum systems. Consider the time derivative of modified Bures angle Θ,
where the time derivative of modified fidelity \({\mathcal{F}}({\rho }_{0},{\rho }_{t})\) in Eq. (1) is given as follows:
When the dynamics of quantum systems is non-unitary, the evolution of quantum state is expressed by \({\dot{\rho }}_{t}={L}_{t}({\rho }_{t})\). Substituting the definition of Θ(ρ0, ρt) into Eq. (21), the derivative of modified Bures angle Θ can be rewritten as
For any n × n complex matrices A1 and A2, there is von Neumann inequality
with the descending singular values σ1,1 ≥ ⋯ ≥ σ1,n and σ2,1 ≥ ⋯ ≥ σ2,n. For the first item of right side in Eq. (23), one can have
where pi are the singular values of state ρ0, and λi are the singular values of operator Lt(ρt). For the second item in Eq. (23), we can obtain that
where ϵi are the singular values of state ρt.
Since pi ≤ 1 and ϵi ≤ 1, one can obtain that ∑ipiλi ≤ λ1 ≤ ∑iλi and ∑iϵiλi ≤ λ1 ≤ ∑iλi. For operator Lt(ρt), the largest singular value λ1 can be expressed as operator norm ∥Lt(ρt)∥op and the sum of λi can be expressed as trace norm ∥Lt(ρt)∥tr.
Similar to the ref. 22, the Margolus-Levitin bound of quantum speed limit time of open system can be given by
where the denominators in the above equation are defined as
Applying the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality for operators, i.e., \(| \,{\rm{tr}}\,[{A}_{1}^{\dagger }{A}_{2}]{| }^{2}\ \le \ \,{\rm{tr}}\,[{A}_{1}^{\dagger }{A}_{1}]\,{\rm{tr}}\,[{A}_{2}^{\dagger }{A}_{2}]\), the Eq. (23) can be rewritten as
The fact that the purity of density matrix satisfies tr[ρ2] ≤ 1 for both states ρ0 and ρt is used in the last inequality. And, \(\sqrt{\,{\rm{tr}}\,[{L}_{t}^{\dagger }({\rho }_{t}){L}_{t}({\rho }_{t})]}\) is the Hilbert-Schmidt norm of operator Lt(ρt), which is defined as \(\parallel {L}_{t}({\rho }_{t}){\parallel }_{{\rm{hs}}}=\sqrt{{\sum }_{i}{\lambda }_{i}^{2}}\). So, the Eq. (23) can be simplified as
So, the Mandelstam-Tamm bound quantum speed limit time of non-unitary dynamics Lt(ρt) is
where
Combining the Eqs. (27) and (31), the unified expression of quantum speed limit time based on the modified Bures angle for initial mixed state is given by
