Thermal Entanglement of an XY Two-Qutrit Spin Chain with Dzialoshinski–Moriya Interaction
Xiao-San Ma, Wang An-Min
Abstract
The effect of Dzialoshinski–Moriya (DM) interaction on thermal entanglement of an XY two-qutrit spin chain is investigated. We find that DM interaction and the anisotropy parameter can enhance quantum thermal entanglement to a maximal value individually. However, when both of them take large values, the entanglement is not enhanced, but is destroyed. Our analysis will shed some light on the understanding of the effect of the DM interaction on thermal entanglement of an XY two-qutrit spin chain.
