Quantum entanglement in a mixed-spin trimer: Effects of a magnetic field and heterogeneous g factors

Zhirayr Adamyan, Vadim Ohanyan

Published Sep 26, 2024• 7 citations

Abstract

Mixed spin-(1/2,1/2,1) trimer with two different Landé g factors and two different exchange couplings is considered. The main feature of the model is nonconserving magnetization. The Hamiltonian of the system is diagonalized analytically. We presented a detailed analysis of the ground-state properties, revealing several possible ground-state phase diagrams and magnetization profiles. The main focus is on how nonconserving magnetization affects quantum entanglement. We have found that nonconserving magnetization can bring a continuous dependence of the entanglement quantifying parameter (negativity) on the magnetic field within the same eigenstate, while for the case of uniform g factors it is a constant. The main result is an essential enhancement of the entanglement in the case of uniform couplings for one pair of spins caused by an arbitrary small difference in the values of g factors. This enhancement is robust and brings almost a sevenfold increase of the negativity. We have also found a weakening of entanglement for other cases. Thus, nonconserving magnetization offers a broad opportunity to manipulate the entanglement by means of a magnetic field.

Quantum Entanglement in Spin Dimers: Effects of a Magnetic Field and Heterogeneous g-Factors

Zhirayr Adamyan, S. A. Muradyan, Vadim Ohanyan

Abstract This work considers the spin-1/2 Heisenberg dimer, the mixed spin-(1/2,1) Heisenberg dimer and their quantum entanglement, particularly, the dependence of the entanglement on the system characteristics and the external magnetic field. The quantum entanglement in this work is determined using two different methods, namely ‘Negativity’ and ‘Concurrence’. The dependence of the corresponding quantities on spins Landé g-factors, system anisotropy constants and exchange constant is discussed.

Tripartite entanglement in mixed-spin triangle trimmer

Zhirayr Adamyan, Vadim Ohanyan

Heisenberg model spin systems offer favourable and manageable physical settings for generating and manipulating entangled quantum states. In this work mixed spin-(1/2,1/2,1) Heisenberg spin trimmer with two different but isotropic Landé g-factors and two different exchange constants is considered. The study undertakes the task of finding the optimal parameters to create entangled states and control them by external magnetic field. The primary objective of this work is to examine the tripartite entanglement of a system and the dependence of the tripartite entanglement on various system parameters. Particularly, the effects of non-conserving magnetization are in the focus of our research. The source of non-commutativity between the magnetic moment operator and the Hamiltonian is non-uniformity of g-factors. To quantify the tripartite entanglement, an entanglement measure refered to as “tripartite negativity” has been used in this work.

Effect of Single-Ion Anisotropy on Stability of Quantum and Thermal Entanglement in a Mixed-Spin Heisenberg Trimer

Hana Vargová, Jozef Strečka

The effect of uniaxial single-ion anisotropy on quantum entanglement is rigorously quantified using negativity in a mixed spin-(1,1/2,1) Heisenberg trimer, accounting for different exchange coupling constants between identical and distinct spins. Bipartite negativities between the single-spin entity and the remaining spin dimer are analyzed alongside the global tripartite negativity (gTN) of the whole trimer under the effect of an external magnetic field and both easy-axis and easy-plane types of single-ion anisotropy. Interestingly, the single-ion anisotropy significantly influences the degree of entanglement by altering the stability regions of energetically preferred ground states and it may also introduce additional phases in the overall ground-state phase diagram. Moreover, even an arbitrarily small single-ion anisotropy is sufficient to generate global tripartite entanglement in a state that remains biseparable in the isotropic limit. Finally, the thermal stability of entanglement is discussed in detail, including the emergence of a peculiar local minimum at finite temperatures. The obtained theoretical results may offer deeper insights into bipartite and tripartite entanglement in trimetallic Ni2+-Cu2+-Ni2+molecular compounds.

Entanglement Dynamics of Ground State and í µí²«í µí²¯ Symmetry in Non-Hermitian Systems

Linzhi Jiang, Weicheng Miao, Wenchao Ma

Abstract In this manuscript, we explore the properties of a non-Hermitian spin-1/2 XY model subjected to alternating imaginary and transverse magnetic fields. Focusing on a two-spin system, we systematically construct the ground state phase diagram and provide an exact calculation of the ground state entanglement via the Negativity measure. Our findings reveal that, within eigenstates influenced by the anisotropy parameter, real magnetic fields, and imaginary magnetic fields, the anisotropy parameter significantly enhances entanglement, whereas the real magnetic field tends to diminish or even annihilate it. Notably, in the ΡΤ-symmetry broken phase, quantum entanglement demonstrates increased resilience to variations in the real magnetic field with the strengthening of the imaginary magnetic field. For eigenstates governed purely by the imaginary magnetic field, we observe that the two-spin entanglement remains maximal (i.e., value of 1) within the ΡΤ-symmetry region, while it gradually declines in the ΡΤ-symmetry broken region as the parameter η0 decreases. An intriguing observation is that the first derivative of the Negativity shows non-analytic behavior at the critical points, highlighting the role of Negativity as a reliable and effective indicator of phase transitions in this non-Hermitian system.

Quantum Entanglement in a Mixed Spin Trimer (1/2,1/2,1) with Non-Conserved Magnetization at Finite Temperatures

Zhirayr Adamyan

Abstract A model of a molecular magnet consisting of three magnetic ions with spins (1/2, 1/2, 1) and non-conserved magnetization arising due to the heterogeneity of Lande multipliers. This study aims to explain the properties of quantum entanglement of the states of the system during magnetization (demagnetization) processes at finite temperatures. We show how the presence of inhomogeneous g-factors results in a significant enhancement of quantum entanglement and sometimes the expansion of the temperature range in which the spins (pseudospins) of magnetic ions of the model are in entangled states.

Entanglement properties of a two-qubit, mixed-spin, Heisenberg chain under a nonuniform magnetic field

Guo-Hui Yang, Ling Zhou

We investigate the entanglement property of a two-qubit, mixed-spin, Heisenberg system under a nonuniform magnetic field. We show that increasing b can improve the threshold temperature, and can also make the entanglement enhanced. It is very interesting to note that the joining of the nonuniform magnetic field b can not only induce the entanglement for the ferromagnetic case, but can also make the entanglement symmetrical in terms of J for a larger value of b , while the uniform field B cannot do this. We also analyze the ground-state entanglement features in detail.
