Dependence of entanglement dynamics on the global classical dynamical regime

We analyze the connections between the dynamical generation of continuous variable entanglement and the underlying classical trajectories in pairs of coupled oscillators. In the quantization of a periodic cycle, we find periodic entanglement which has twice the frequency of the corresponding classical motion. Such frequency doubling continues to hold true in the entanglement dynamics for a second model that exhibits a two-frequency orbit in the classical domain. In addition, the periodicity and the quasiperiodicity of the entanglement are found to be independent of the local classical dynamical behavior. Finally, in our third model, the entanglement production rate is found to be (i) higher in the chaotic regime and (ii) insensitive toward the choice of regular or chaotic initial condition in the mixed regime. In summary, we have illustrated through our sample models that the generation of dynamical pattern of entanglement can depend completely on the global classical dynamical regime without being influenced by the local classical behavior.
