Collapse-revival of entanglement in a two-dimensional noncommutative harmonic oscillator: A Schmidt modes analysis

In this paper, we study the dynamics of entanglement in a two-dimensional noncommutative harmonic oscillator. With the help of the so-called Bopp shift, we map the Hamiltonian describing the system into an equivalent commutative form. This brings into play a Schwinger realization of the SU(2) Lie algebra. Subsequently, we derive the time-dependent number state wave functions. Then, we use the Schmidt modes decomposition together with the notion of purity to derive explicitly the amount of entanglement encoded in the most general accessible configurations of pairwise states. In doing so, we show that there is an intimate connection between the non-commutativity parameter and the phenomenon of collapse and revival of entanglement exhibited by the system.
