Abstract
The Heisenberg spin cluster with two particles controlled by a time-dependent magnetic field is investigated. Since the system possesses an SU(2) algebraic structure, the exact analytical solution to time evolution operator can be obtained by using algebraic dynamical method. Based on the analytical solution, the time evolution of wave function of the two-particle system can be obtained, then the entanglement can be calculated easily. The time evolution of the entanglement for different initial states is studied, and the effect of external field on the entanglement is discussed as well.
