Dual-channel near-field control by polarizations using isotropic and inhomogeneous metasurface.

abstract：:In this paper, we study a system with two interacting qubits described by the Heisenberg model with dissipative terms, and analyze decay dynamics and the steady-state of geometric quantum discords. Our results indicate that we can ignore the interaction force in the z-direction and adjust the parameters to change the ...
