Entanglement and boundary entropy in quantum spin chains with arbitrary direction of the boundary magnetic fields

J. C. Xavier, M. A. Rajabpour

We calculate the entanglement and the universal boundary entropy (BE) in critical quantum spin chains, such as the transverse field Ising chain and the XXZ chain, with arbitrary direction of the boundary magnetic field (ADBMF). We determine the boundary universality class that an ADBMF induces. In particular, we show that the induced boundary conformal field theory depends on the point on the Bloch sphere where the boundary magnetic field directs. We show that the classification of the directions boils down to the simple fact that the boundary field breaks the bulk symmetry or does not. We present a procedure to estimate the universal BE, based on the finite-size corrections of the entanglement entropy, which apply to ADBMF. To calculate the universal BE in the XXZ chain, we use the density matrix renormalization group. The transverse field XY chain with ADBMF after Jordan-Wigner transformation is not a quadratic free fermion Hamiltonian. We map this model to a quadratic free fermion chain by introducing two extra ancillary spins coupled to the main chain at the boundaries, which makes the problem integrable. The eigenstates of the transverse field XY chain can be obtained by proper projection in the enlarged chain. Using this mapping, we are able to calculate the entanglement entropy of the transverse field XY chain using the usual correlation matrix technique up to relatively large sizes.

Exact surface energy and elementary excitations of the XXX spin-1/2 chain with arbitrary non-diagonal boundary fields

Jia-Sheng Dong, Pengcheng Lu, Pei Sun +4 more

We study the physical properties of the XXX spin-1/2 chain with arbitrary non-diagonal boundary fields. By using a combination of numerical analysis and analytical method, we obtain the surface energy and elementary excitations of the model. It shows that the contributions of the two boundary fields to the surface energy are additive. We also find that there exists a kind of excitations related to the boundary string.

Exact Steady State of a One-end Driven XXZ Spin Chain with Boundary Field

V. Popkov, T. Prosen

We find an exact nonequilibrium steady state of an open dissipatively driven XXZ spin-1/2 chain with source or sink spin bath at one end and an arbitrary boundary field at the other end.
