Anisotropy and Magnetic Field Effects on Entanglement of a Two-Spin (1/2,1) Mixed-Spin Heisenberg XY Chain

Abstract

We study the entanglement in anisotropic (1/2,1) mixed-spin Heisenberg XY model under the presence of an external magnetic field at thermal equilibrium. By adjusting the anisotropic parameter and the magnetic field, one is able to obtain entanglement at higher temperature. We find the evidence of the quantum phase transition in the model and observe that the quantum phase transition point at low temperature moves toward weak magnetic field with the increase of the anisotropic parameter.

Entanglement in a two-spin (1/2, 3/2) mixed-spin Heisenberg XXZ chain with an inhomogeneous external magnetic field

Using the concept of negativity, we investigate the thermal entanglement of a two-spin (1/2, 3/2) mixed-spin Heisenberg XXZ chain with an inhomogeneous external magnetic field. We obtain the analytical results of entanglement of this model. For the case of uniform magnetic field, we find that the critical temperature increases with the increase of the anisotropy parameter k , and for the same couplings, the critical temperature is higher than the results of the spin-1/2 XXZ chain and (1/2, 1) mixed-spin XXZ chain. Evidence of the quantum phase transition is found, and by adjusting the inhomogeneous magnetic parameter b , one is able to obtain more entanglement at higher temperature.

Anisotropy and Magnetic Field Effects on the Entanglement of a Two Qubit Heisenberg XY Chain

G. Lagmago Kamta, Anthony F. Starace

We investigate the entanglement of a two-qubit anisotropic Heisenberg XY chain in thermal equilibrium at temperature T in the presence of an external magnetic field B along the z axis. By means of the combined influences of anisotropic interactions and a magnetic field B, one is able to produce entanglement for any finite T, by adjusting the magnetic field strength. This contrasts with the isotropic interaction or the B = 0 cases, for which there is no entanglement above a critical temperature T(c) that is independent of the external B field.

Effects of anisotropy and external magnetic field on the thermal entanglement in a (1/2,1) mixed-spin Heisenberg model

Jin‐Liang Guo, X. L. Huang, He‐Shan Song

In contrast to the spin-half Heisenberg model, we investigate the effects of anisotropy and external magnetic field on thermal entanglement in a (1/2,1) mixed-spin Heisenberg model. By using the concept of negativity, we find the critical temperature T c and critical magnetic field B c of mixed-spin are much higher than that of spin-half, and this phenomenon is more evident with increasing anisotropy coefficient Δ. Contrary to the spin-half, we also observe that the nonuniform field can enhance the entanglement of mixed-spin to a great extent.

Thermal and ground-state entanglement in the two-qubit anisotropic Heisenberg XY spin chain under an inhomogeneous magnetic field

D. Tian

We study the entanglement of thermal and ground states in the Heisenberg XY spin chain with an inhomogeneous magnetic field.A general result is found that for two-qubit case,pairwise entanglement is independent of the sign of coupling constant J,magnetic field B,anisotropic parameter γ and inhomogeneous parameter b of the magnetic field.At zero absolute temperature,an analytical expression of concurrence C is given through which we show that the critical magnetic field Bc increases with the increase of inhomogeneity.At finite temperature,we show analytically for the isotropic case and numerically for the anisotropic case that the thermal entanglement can be apparently enhanced by introducing the inhomogeneity of the magnetic field.We also show that for isotropic case the critical temperature Tc is alone an increasing function of the inhomogeneous parameter b,while for anisotropic case,it is determined by both B and b.

ANISOTROPY AND MAGNETIC FIELD EFFECTS ON THE ENTANGLEMENT TRANSFER IN TWO PARALLEL HEISENBERG SPIN CHAINS

Zhao-Ming Wang, Bin Shao, Jian Zou

We investigate the entanglement transfer in two parallel spin chains by anisotropic Heisenberg XY interaction in an external magnetic field. The perfect entanglement transfer condition is obtained. We find that perfect entanglement transfer can be realized from one spin pair to another spin pair at certain times by adjusting the magnetic field strength and the anisotropy parameter, which suggests its potential usefulness in quantum information process.

Effects of Anisotropy on Pair-wise Entanglement of a Four-Qubit Heisenberg XXZ Chain

Cao Min, Zhu Shi-Qun

The pair-wise thermal entanglement in a four-qubit Heisenberg XXZ chain is investigated to study the role of anisotropy when an external magnetic field is included. It is found that pair-wise entanglement is absent between nearest- and next-nearest neighbouring qubits with anisotropic parameter Δ⩽−1. For two nearest-neighbouring qubits, increasing the parameter can not only induce the entanglement, but also extend the entanglement region in terms of magnetic field B and temperature T . For two next-nearest-neighbouring qubits, increasing anisotropic parameter can shift the location of the entanglement and control the extent of the entanglement in terms of magnetic field at a finite temperature.
