Spin wave contribution to entanglement in Heisenberg models

Francesco Plastina, Luigi Amico A, Andreas Osterloh, Rosario Fazio

Published Sep 30, 2004• 5 citations
Publisher

Abstract

Employing the Holstein–Primakoff transformation, we obtain an approximate description of both the ground state entanglement and the entanglement dynamics in a spin system in terms of spin waves. As an example, we apply the method to a two-dimensional spin system.

Validity of spin-wave theory for the quantum Heisenberg model

Michele Correggi, Alessandro Giuliani, Robert Seiringer

Spin-wave theory is a key ingredient in our comprehension of quantum spin systems, and is used successfully for understanding a wide range of magnetic phenomena, including magnon condensation and stability of patterns in dipolar systems. Nevertheless, several decades of research failed to establish the validity of spin-wave theory rigorously, even for the simplest models of quantum spins. A rigorous justification of the method for the three-dimensional quantum Heisenberg ferromagnet at low temperatures is presented here. We derive sharp bounds on its free energy by combining a bosonic formulation of the model introduced by Holstein and Primakoff with probabilistic estimates and operator inequalities.

Solitons in the anisotropic Heisenberg chain in the Holstein-Primakoff representation

M. J. Škrinjaŕ, D. Kapor, S. D. Stojanović

It is shown that the Holstein-Primakoff boson representation of spin operators leads to the same soliton excitations, in the anisotropic Heisenberg chain, as the classical treatment of spins, if one retains the terms up to products of six Bose operators.

Pairwise Entanglement and Quantum Phase Transitions in Spin Systems

Shi-Jian Gu, Tian Guang-Shan, Hai-Qing Lin

We examine several well-known quantum spin models and categorize the behaviour of pairwise entanglement at quantum phase transitions. A unified picture on the connection between the entanglement and quantum phase transition in spin systems is presented.

Spin Coherent States, Holstein‐Primakoff Transformations for Heisenberg Spin Chain Models, and Status of the Landau‐Lifshits Equation

Алексей Владимирович Маханьков, Vladmir G. Makhankov

Abstract The XXZ Heisenberg spin chain is considered. Following results are obtained: for the Bosonization of the spin Hamiltonians widely used Holstein‐Primakoff transformations are very sensitive to the way of breaking an initial system symmetry by the ground state. In the case of easy‐axis models only such transformations may be applied without previous analysis (at any rate when an external magnetic field vanishes). Others are subjected to the corresponding symmetry analysis.

Application of the Functional Schrödinger Picture Theory to the Holstein-Primakoff Boson Theory for Antiferromagnetic Spin Polarons in Two-Dimensional Systems of Strongly Correlated Electrons

Kwangyl Park, Sul-Ah Ahn, Sung‐Ho Suck Salk

Applying the functional Schrodinger picture to the Holstein-Primakoff boson theory, we obtain a dispersion energy relation for an antiferromagnetic spin polaron or magnon in two-dimensional systems of strongly correlated electrons. We show that our magnon ground-state wave function is equivalent to that of a retraceable path approximation by Reiter in the long-wavelength limit. Further, we demonstrate that the derived dispersion relation of a quasiparticle leads to the self-consistent Born approximation of the Green's function approach only in the large Heisenberg coupling J limit, showing that this new approach is general enough to contain more physical information than the Green's function approach in dealing with the antiferroinagnetic spin polaron of interest.

Application of entanglement conditions to spin systems

Hongjun Zheng, Ho Trung Dung, Mark S. Hillery

There have been numerous studies of entanglement in spin systems. These have usually focused on examining the entanglement between individual spins or determining whether the state of the system is completely separable. Here, we present conditions that allow us to determine whether blocks of spins are entangled. We show that sometimes these conditions can detect entanglement better than conditions involving individual spins. We apply these conditions to study entanglement in spin-wave states, both when there are only a few magnons present and also at finite temperature.
