Ground-State Entanglement and Mixture in an XXZ Spin Chain

Abstract

We study the pairwise entanglement and mixture of a three-qubit XXZ spin chain in the ground state in the presence of an external magnetic field B . The effects of the magnetic field, the anisotropy and the temperature on the entanglement and mixture are considered, and entanglement versus the mixture of all the two-spin states is investigated. We find that the maximal entangled mixed state can be obtained in the considered system by controlling the magnetic field. Our results provide another way to generate maximally entangled mixed states.

Thermal entanglement,mixture and quantum communication in a spin chain

Wang Cheng-Zhi

The two-body thermal entanglement and mixture in a three-spin spin chain in thermal equilibrium state are investigated, and the effects of the temperature and magnetic field on the entanglement and mixture are discussed. It is found that, in the ground state, an important class of states, i.e., maximally entangled mixed states, can be generated by controlling magnetic field, which provide a new way to generate maximally entangled mixed states and control entanglement. Further, the spin chain in the thermal equilibrium is used as a quantum channel for quantum communication. The effects of temperature and magnetic field on fidelity are discussed. It is shown that the temperature and magnetic field have vast effects on the fidelity. The relation between fidelity and two-body thermal entanglement is given, which shows that more amount of entanglement does not means higher fidelity.

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

Ke-Tao Guo, M. M. Liang, Hong-Yu Xu +1 more

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.

Enhanced thermal entanglement in an anisotropic HeisenbergXYZchain

Ling Zhou, H. S. Song, Yanqing Guo +1 more

The thermal entanglement in the Heisenberg $\mathrm{XYZ}$ chain is investigated in the presence of an external magnetic field B. In the two-qubit system, the critical magnetic field ${B}_{c}$ is increased by introducing the interaction of the z component of two neighboring spins ${J}_{z}.$ This interaction not only improves the critical temperature ${T}_{c},$ but also enhances the entanglement for a particular fixed B. We also analyze the pairwise entanglement between nearest neighbors in three qubits. The pairwise entanglement, for a fixed T, can become strong by controlling B and ${J}_{z}.$

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.

Thermal entanglement in a two-qubit Heisenberg XXZ spin chain under an inhomogeneous magnetic field

Guo‐Feng Zhang, Shu‐Shen Li

The thermal entanglement in a two-qubit Heisenberg $XXZ$ spin chain is investigated under an inhomogeneous magnetic field $b$. We show that the ground-state entanglement is independent of the interaction of $z$-component ${J}_{z}$. The thermal entanglement at the fixed temperature can be enhanced when ${J}_{z}$ increases. We strictly show that for any temperature $T$ and ${J}_{z}$, the entanglement is symmetric with respect to zero inhomogeneous magnetic field, and the critical inhomogeneous magnetic field ${b}_{c}$ is independent of ${J}_{z}$. The critical magnetic field ${B}_{c}$ increases with the increasing $\ensuremath{\mid}b\ensuremath{\mid}$ but the maximum entanglement value that the system can arrive at becomes smaller.

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

Wang Fei, Liping Fu, Ke-Tao Guo

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.
