Abstract
A pair of coupled quantum dissipative oscillators, serving as a model for a nanosystem, is here described by the Lindblad equation. Its dynamic evolution is shown to exhibit the features of decoherence (spatial extent of quantum behavior), correlation (spatial scale over which the system localizes to its physical dimensions), and entanglement (a special quantum feature making its appearance first in such bipartite systems) as a function of the coupling constants of the Lindblad equation. One interesting feature emerging out of this calculation is that the entanglement may exhibit revivals in time. An initially entangled state need not remain so for all time and may exhibit regions of nonentanglement. Interpreting the parameters of the Lindblad theory as environmental features in certain experimental situations, this model calculation gives us clues to possible control of decoherence, correlation, and entanglement. We indicate possible interpretation of the Lindblad parameters as control parameters in more general contexts of some recent experiments.
