Abstract

Using quantum systems to simulate the behavior of other quantum systems is a step toward achieving revolutionary computing. Entangled photons are used to simulate the eigenstates of spin systems and how they change when the external magnetic field and spin-coupling are altered.

Ground-state and thermal entanglements in a non-Hermitian XY system with real and imaginary magnetic fields

Yue Li, Zhang, Pan-Pan, Li-Zhen Hu +2 more

In this manuscript, we study the non-Hermitian spin-1/2 XY model in the presence of the alternating, imaginary and transverse magnetic fields. For the two-site spin system, we solve exactly the energy spectrum and phase diagram, also calculate the ground-state and thermal entanglements by using the concept of the concurrence. It is found that the two-site concurrence in the eigenstate which only depends on the imaginary magnetic field η is always equal to one in the region of PT symmetry, while it decreases with η in the PT-symmetric broken region. Especially, the concurrence shows the non-analytic behavior at the exceptional point, and the same is true in the case of the biorthogonal basis, which indicates that the concurrence can characterize the phase transition in this non-Hermitian system. The interesting thing is that η weakens the thermal entanglement when the system is isotropic and enhances the entanglement when the system becomes the Ising model. For the one-dimensional spin chain, the magnetization and entanglement are further studied by using the two-spin cluster mean-field approximation. The results show that their variations have opposite trends with the magnetic fields. Moreover, the system exists the first-order quantum phase transitions for some anisotropic parameters in the PT-symmetry region, and the entanglement changes suddenly at the quantum phase transition point.

Thermal entanglement of mixed spin XY systems

Wang Lu-Shun, Jiang Hui, Xiang-Mu Kong

In this article, we investigate thermal entanglements of the two-site, three-site and four-site mixed spin (1/2,1) XYsystems. The entanglement versus temperature and external magnetic field is discussed. It is found that the entanglements decrease monotonically as temperature increases in the presence and absence of a weak external magnetic field. For the two-site and four-site XY systems, thermal entanglements disappear at the same temperature which is called critical temperature no matter in the ferromagnetic case or antiferromagnetic. It also shows that the critical temperature is independent of external magnetic field. For the three-site system, the corresponding critical temperature is also irrelevant to external magnetic field, while the critical temperature for the ferromagnetic case is higher than that for the antiferromagnetic case. The entanglement of XY systems can develop a few stable platform in an environment of low temperature, but the entanglement vanishes when external magnetic field exceeds some critical value. In this article, we also analyze the difference in thermal entanglement between mixed-spin system and single-spin system, and find that there exists multi-level level crossing in the mixed-spin system.

DYNAMICS OF ENTANGLEMENT FOR ONE-DIMENSIONAL SPIN SYSTEMS IN AN EXTERNAL TIME-DEPENDENT MAGNETIC FIELD

Zhen Huang, Sabre Kais

We study the dynamics of entanglement for the XY-model, one-dimensional spin systems coupled through the nearest neighbor exchange interaction and subject to an external time-dependent magnetic field. Using the two-site density matrix, we calculate the time-dependent entanglement of formation between nearest neighbor qubits. We investigate the effect of varying the temperature, the anisotropy parameter and the external time-dependent magnetic field on the entanglement. We have found that the entanglement can be localized between nearest neighbor qubits for certain values of the external time-dependent magnetic field. Moreover, as known for the magnetization of this model, the entanglement shows nonergodic behavior, it does not approach its equilibrium value at the infinite time limit.
