Quantum channels, which break entanglement, incompatibility, or nonlocality, are not useful for entanglement-based, one-sided device-independent, or device-independent quantum information processing, respectively. Here, we show that such breaking channels are related to certain temporal quantum correlations, i.e., temporal separability, channel unsteerability, temporal unsteerability, and macrorealism. More specifically, we first define the steerability-breaking channel, which is conceptually similar to the entanglement and nonlocality-breaking channels and prove that it is identical to the incompatibility-breaking channel. Similar to the hierarchy relations of the temporal and spatial quantum correlations, the hierarchy of non-breaking channels is discussed. We then introduce the concept of the channels which break temporal correlations, explain how they are related to the standard breaking channels, and prove the following results: (1) A certain measure of temporal nonseparability can be used to quantify a non-entanglement-breaking channel in the sense that the measure is a memory monotone under the framework of the resource theory of the quantum memory. (2) A non-steerability-breaking channel can be certified with channel steering because the steerability-breaking channel is equivalent to the incompatibility-breaking channel. (3) The temporal steerability and non-macrorealism can, respectively, distinguish the steerability-breaking and the nonlocality-breaking unital channel from their corresponding non-breaking channels. Finally, a two-dimensional depolarizing channel is experimentally implemented as a proof-of-principle example to compare the temporal quantum correlations with non-breaking channels.

Entangled systems in experiments may be lost or offline in distributed quantum information processing. This inspires a general problem to characterize quantum operations which result in breaking of entanglement or not. Our goal in this work is to solve this problem both in single entanglement and network scenarios. We firstly propose a local model for characterizing all entangled states that are breaking for losing particles. This implies a simple criterion for witnessing single entanglement such as generalized GHZ states and Dicke states. It further provides an efficient witness for characterizing entangled quantum networks depending mainly on the connectivity of network configurations such as $k$-independent quantum networks, completely connected quantum networks, and $k$-connected quantum networks. These networks are universal resources for measurement-based quantum computations. The strong nonlocality can be finally verified by using nonlinear inequalities. These results show distinctive features of both single entangled systems and entangled quantum networks.
Quantum entanglement, a fundamental property ensuring security of key distribution and efficiency of quantum computing, is extremely sensitive to decoherence. Different procedures have been developed in order to recover entanglement after propagation over a noisy channel. However, besides a certain amount of noise, entanglement is completely lost. In this case the channel is called entanglement breaking and any multi-copy distillation methods cannot help to restore even a bit of entanglement. We report the experimental realization of a new method which restores entanglement from a single photon entanglement breaking channel. The method based on measurement of environmental light and quantum feed-forward correction can reveal entanglement even if this one completely disappeared. This protocol provides new elements to overcome decoherence effects.
The occurrence of entanglement sudden death in the evolution of a bipartite system depends on both the initial state and the channel responsible for the evolution. An extreme case is that of entanglement braking channels, which are channels that acting on only one of the subsystems drives them to full disentanglement regardless of the initial state. In general, one can find certain combinations of initial states and channels acting on one or both subsystems that can result in entanglement sudden death or not. Neither the channel nor the initial state, but their combination, is responsible for this effect, but their combination. In this work we show that, in all cases, when entanglement sudden death occurs, the evolution can be mapped to that of an effective entanglement breaking channel on a modified initial state. Our results allow to anticipate which states will suffer entanglement sudden death or not for a given evolution. An experiment with polarization entangled photons demonstrates the utility of this result in a variety of cases.
Originated from the superposition principle in quantum mechanics, coherence has been extensively studied as a kind important resource in quantum information processing. We investigate the distinguishability of coherence-breaking channels with the help of quantum entanglement. By explicitly computing the minimal error probability of channel discrimination, it is shown that entanglement can enhance the capacity of coherence-breaking channel distinguishability with same types for some cases while cannot enhanced for some other cases. For coherence-breaking channels with different types, the channel distinguishability cannot be enhanced via entanglement.
We investigate the entanglement dynamics of continuous-variable quantum channels in terms of an entangled squeezed state of two cavity fields in a general non-Markovian environment. Using the Feynman-Vernon influence functional theory in the coherent-state representation, we derive an exact master equation with time-dependent coefficients reflecting the non-Markovian influence of the environment. The influence of environments with different spectral densities, e.g., Ohmic, sub-Ohmic, and super-Ohmic, is numerically studied. The non-Markovian process shows its remarkable influences on the entanglement dynamics due to the sensitive time-dependence of the dissipation and noise functions within the typical time scale of the environment. The Ohmic environment shows a weak dissipation-noise effect on the entanglement dynamics, while the sub-Ohmic and super-Ohmic environments induce much more severe noise. In particular, the memory of the system interacting with the environment contributes a strong decoherence effect to the entanglement dynamics in the super-Ohmic case.
