High-dimensional quantum system plays an important role in quantum information tasks. However, the interaction between quantum system and environment would give rise to decoherence. In this paper, we examine the quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty relation under amplitude damping (AD) decoherence. It is found that entropic uncertainty first inflates and then reduces to a nonzero value with the growing decoherence strength. In addition, it is revealed that the mixedness is not closely associated with entropic uncertainty which is different from the previous result. Furthermore, we construct a remarkably effective filtering operator to steer and reduce the entropic uncertainty. Our exploration might offer fresh insights into the dynamics and manipulation of the entropic uncertainty in high-dimensional quantum system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we analyze the decohering power behaviors for an atom immersed in a thermal bath of fluctuating electromagnetic field in the presence of a perfectly reflecting plane boundary. Firstly, we analytically solve the master equation that governs the system evolution. Then, we discuss the behaviors of decohering power for an atom affected by thermal fluctuating electromagnetic field. It is found that the behaviors of decohering power are dependent on the field temperature, atomic position and polarization. Decohering power fluctuates to relatively stable values with the increasing atom's distance from the boundary, which suggests a possible way of detecting the vacuum fluctuating and boundary effect. Additional conditions on the electromagnetic field give one more freedom to manipulate the variations of decohering power. Decohering power variations can efficiently reflect the behaviors of quantum coherence affected by electromagnetic vacuum fluctuation, and it is shown that quantum coherence can be effectively enhanced with the presence of a reflecting boundary.

In this paper, we study the quantum Chicken game under fluctuating massless scalar field subjected to a reflecting boundary. The noisy scheme of quantum Chicken game affected by fluctuating scalar field is constructed. Then we analyze the influences of vacuum fluctuation, two-atom separation and boundary on the game payoff and Nash equilibrium. It is shown that for different strategy profiles, vacuum fluctuation, two-atom distance and atom-boundary distance have different influences on game payoffs. Vacuum fluctuation and two-atom distance may produce positive or negative effects on game payoffs dependent on the specific strategies. It is found that boundary can effectively promote the game payoffs corresponding to those strategy profiles with which payoffs are degraded by vacuum fluctuation. Furthermore, Nash equilibrium of the game is broken under the influence of fluctuating quantum field, but the game symmetry does not change. For long-time evolution, (D̂,Ĉ) and (Ĉ,D̂) turn into new Nash equilibria. The results would be helpful for understanding and conducting quantum Chicken game in an open quantum system.
