Abstract
We investigate the quantum entanglement of the ground state and the mixed states at finite temperatures for a two-qubit system within the framework of an anisotropic Heisenberg XYZ model in the presence of a nonuniform magnetic field. As a measure of the entanglement, the concurrence of the two-qubit states is calculated and is analysed in detail as a function of the coupling constants, magnetic field and temperature. Consequently, we show that the combined influence of the anisotropic interaction and the nonuniformity of the magnetic fields predicts much pronounced entanglement properties.
