Abstract

The multiparticle entanglement in the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model has been discussed extensively in this paper. Measured by the global entanglement and its generalization, our calculation shows that the multiparticle entanglement can faithfully detect quantum phase transitions. For an antiferromagnetic case the multiparticle entanglement reaches the maximum at the transition point, whereas for ferromagnetic coupling, two different behaviors of multiparticle entanglement can be identified, dependent on the anisotropic parameter in the coupling.

Many-particle entanglement in the gaped antiferromagnetic Lipkin model

Razmik G. Unanyan, C. Ionescu, Michael Fleischhauer

Bipartite and global entanglement are analyzed for the ground state of a system of $N$ spin-$1∕2$ particles interacting via a collective spin-spin coupling described by the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick Hamiltonian. Under certain conditions, which include the special case of supersymmetry, the ground state can be constructed analytically. In the case of antiferromagnetic coupling and for an even number of particles, the system has a finite energy gap and the ground state undergoes a smooth transition, as a function of the continuous anisotropy parameter $\ensuremath{\gamma}$, from a separable $(\ensuremath{\gamma}=\ensuremath{\infty})$ to a maximally entangled state $(\ensuremath{\gamma}=0)$. From the analytic expression for the ground state, the bipartite entanglement between two subsets of spins as well as the global entanglement are calculated. Despite the absence of a quantum phase transition a discontinuous change of the scaling of the bipartite entanglement with the number of spins in the subsystem is found at the isotropy point $\ensuremath{\gamma}=0$: While at $\ensuremath{\gamma}=0$ the entanglement grows logarithmically with the system size with no upper bound, it saturates for $\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\ne}0$ at a level only depending on $\ensuremath{\gamma}$.

Thermal Entanglement in Lipkin—Meshkov—Glick Model

Long Du, Wenxin Zhang, Jia-Yan Ding +2 more

We investigate the thermal entanglement in the Lipkin—Meshkov—Glick (LMG) model which consists of spin-1/2 particles with XXZ-type exchange interactions between any pair of them. The ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) cases are completely analyzed at both finite temperature and zero temperature. According to the results obtained by accurate numerical calculation, several interesting physic phenomena and characteristics of thermal entanglement in the LMG model are found. Not only do we evaluate the entanglement of the LMG model, but also discover the correlations between macroscopic physical quantities and thermal entanglement.

Nonzero-temperature dynamics near quantum phase transition in the isotropic Lipkin–Meshkov–Glick model: an open quantum system approach

Yamen Hamdouni

The dynamics of a central qubit system coupled to an isotropic ferromagnetic Lipkin–Meshkov–Glick spin bath at nonzero temperature is studied. We derive exactly the reduced density matrix and investigate the pairwise thermal entanglement, the coherence and the concurrence of the central spins. Through the behavior of these quantities, we show that at very low temperatures the dynamics is sensitive to the presence of the critical point of the environment.

Bi-partite and global entanglement in a many-particle system with collective spin coupling

Razmik G. Unanyan, C. Ionescu, Michael Fleischhauer

Bipartite and global entanglement are analyzed for the ground state of a system of $N$ spin 1/2 particles interacting via a collective spin-spin coupling described by the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick (LMG) Hamiltonian. Under certain conditions which includes the special case of a super-symmetry, the ground state can be constructed analytically. In the case of an anti-ferromagnetic coupling and for an even number of particles this state undergoes a smooth crossover as a function of the continuous anisotropy parameter $γ$ from a separable ($γ=\infty $) to a maximally entangled many-particle state ($γ=0$). From the analytic expression for the ground state, bipartite and global entanglement are calculated. In the thermodynamic limit a discontinuous change of the scaling behavior of the bipartite entanglement is found at the isotropy point $γ=0$. For $% γ=0$ the entanglement grows logarithmically with the system size with no upper bound, for $γ\neq 0$ it saturates at a level only depending on $γ$. For finite systems with total spin $J=N/2$ the scaling behavior changes at $γ=γ_{\mathrm{crit}}=1/J$.

Entanglement and Spin Squeezing in Non-Hermitian Phase Transitions

Tony E. Lee, Florentin Reiter, Nimrod Moiseyev

We show that non-Hermitian dynamics generate substantial entanglement in many-body systems. We consider the non-Hermitian Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model and show that its phase transition occurs with maximum multiparticle entanglement: There is full N-particle entanglement at the transition, in contrast to the Hermitian case. The non-Hermitian model also exhibits more spin squeezing than the Hermitian model, showing that non-Hermitian dynamics are useful for quantum metrology. Experimental implementations with trapped ions and cavity QED are discussed.

Nature and measure of entanglement in quantum phase transitions

Rolando D. Somma, Gerardo Ortíz, Howard Barnum +2 more

Characterizing and quantifying quantum correlations in states of many-particle systems is at the core of a full understanding of phase transitions in matter. In this work, we continue our investigation of the notion of generalized entanglement [Barnum et al., Phys. Rev. A 68, 032308 (2003)] by focusing on a simple Lie-algebraic measure of purity of a quantum state relative to an observable set. For the algebra of local observables on multi-qubit systems, the resulting local purity measure is equivalent to a recently introduced global entanglement measure [Meyer and Wallach, J. Math. Phys. 43, 4273 (2002)]. In the condensed-matter setting, the notion of Lie-algebraic purity is exploited to identify and characterize the quantum phase transitions present in two exactly solvable models, namely the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model and the spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ anisotropic $XY$ model in a transverse magnetic field. For the latter, we argue that a natural fermionic observable set arising after the Jordan-Wigner transformation better characterizes the transition than alternative measures based on qubits. This illustrates the usefulness of going beyond the standard subsystem-based framework while providing a global disorder parameter for this model. Our results show how generalized entanglement leads to useful tools for distinguishing between the ordered and disordered phases in the case of broken symmetry quantum phase transitions. Additional implications and possible extensions of concepts to other systems of interest in condensed-matter physics are also discussed.
