Thermal entanglement in two-qubit Heisenberg XY model
Wanqiang Cao
Abstract
We study the thermal entanglement in the two-qubit Heisenberg XY model including the cross-product terms in the presence of an external inhomogeneous magnetic field.Concurrence,the measurement of entanglement,is calculated.The effects of an external inhomogeneous magnetic field on the ground-state entanglement and the thermal entanglement in the presence of the crossproduct terms are discussed carefully.
