Vacuum fluctuation induced quantum resource harvesting in triple-layer graphene

We examine the non-Markovian dynamics and the generation of quantum coherence and entanglement within a triple-layer graphene (TLG) system embedded in a planar microcavity. Using time-dependent perturbation theory, we derive an exact analytic solution for the system and demonstrate how the confined electromagnetic field mediates quantum correlations between the graphene layers. We employ three complementary measures; the relative entropy of coherence (REC) to quantify quantum coherence, the tangle to assess tripartite entanglement, and a non-Markovianity measure derived from the REC to characterize quantum memory effects. Our analysis reveals that these quantum resources exhibit remarkable sensitivity to various control parameters. Specifically, we demonstrate that the number of cutoff modes, the spatial positioning of the layers, the momentum parameter, and the interlayer rotation angles provide effective control over coherence, entanglement, and memory effects. We further show that these measures exhibit an exceptional sensitivity to the rotation angle between the layers. Ultimately, our results establish cavity-confined TLG as a highly tunable platform for exploring vacuum-mediated quantum phenomena, providing a framework for the precise manipulation of quantum correlations in graphene-based photonic and optoelectronic devices.
