Abstract

We investigate the pairwise entanglement and spin squeezing in the ground state of the three-and four-qubit Heisenberg XY spin chain and give analytical expressions of the concurrence C and the spin squeezing parameter ξ2.Our results show that the entanglement is equivalent to spin squeezing(i.e.the entanglement implies spin squeezing and vice versa)if the external magnetic field B is above a certain critical value Bc,where for the three-qubit case,Bc=J[(4-3γ2)1/2-1],and for the four-qubit case,Bc can be obtained numerically.

Spin squeezing and pairwise entanglement for symmetric multiqubit states

Xiaoguang Wang, Barry C. Sanders

We show that spin squeezing implies pairwise entanglement for arbitrary symmetric multiqubit states. If the squeezing parameter is less than or equal to 1, we demonstrate a quantitative relation between the squeezing parameter and the concurrence for the even and odd states. We prove that the even states generated from the initial state with all qubits being spin down, via the one-axis twisting Hamiltonian, are spin squeezed if and only if they are pairwise entangled. For the states generated via the one-axis twisting Hamiltonian with an external transverse field for any number of qubits greater than 1 or via the two-axis countertwisting Hamiltonian for any even number of qubits, the numerical results suggest that such states are spin squeezed if and only if they are pairwise entangled.

Pairwise Entanglement in the Four-qubit Heisenberg XX Open Chain

Wanqiang Cao

The pairwise entanglement in the four-qubit Heisenberg XX open chain with external magnetic fields is calculated,and the analytical expressions for the measures of entanglement Concurrence are obtained.It is found that the entanglement between the boundary qubits can reach the value of 0.28 in the system with uniform external magnetic fields.In addition,in the Heisenberg XX model with external magnetic fields on the two boundary qubits,the two non-boundary qubits will be in the maximal entanglement by increasing the magnetic field at low temperature.

Thermal and ground-state entanglement in the two-qubit anisotropic Heisenberg XY spin chain under an inhomogeneous magnetic field

D. Tian

We study the entanglement of thermal and ground states in the Heisenberg XY spin chain with an inhomogeneous magnetic field.A general result is found that for two-qubit case,pairwise entanglement is independent of the sign of coupling constant J,magnetic field B,anisotropic parameter γ and inhomogeneous parameter b of the magnetic field.At zero absolute temperature,an analytical expression of concurrence C is given through which we show that the critical magnetic field Bc increases with the increase of inhomogeneity.At finite temperature,we show analytically for the isotropic case and numerically for the anisotropic case that the thermal entanglement can be apparently enhanced by introducing the inhomogeneity of the magnetic field.We also show that for isotropic case the critical temperature Tc is alone an increasing function of the inhomogeneous parameter b,while for anisotropic case,it is determined by both B and b.

Ground-State and Thermal Entanglement in Three-Spin Heisenberg- XXZ Chain with Three-Spin Interaction

Yong Zhang, Long Gui-Lu

The entanglement properties of a three-spin XXZ Heisenberg chain with three-spin interaction are studied by means of concurrence of pairwise entanglement. We show that ground-state pairwise entanglement, pairwise thermal entanglement, or quantum phase transition is not present in antiferromagnetic spin chain. For the ferromagnetic case, quantum phase transition takes place at Δ = 1 for anisotropic interaction and at some values of three-spin coupling strength, and pairwise thermal entanglement increases when the value of J / T increases and with anisotropic interaction and three-spin interaction decrease. In addition, we find that increasing the anisotropic interaction and the three-spin interaction will decrease critical temperature.

Entanglement of Two-Qubit Quantum Heisenberg XYZ Chain

We derive the analytic expression of the concurrence in the quantum Heisenberg XYZ model and discuss the influence of parameters J , Δ and Γ on the concurrence. By choosing different values of Γ and Δ, we obtain the XX , XY , XXX and XXZ chains. The concurrence decreases with increasing temperature. When T →0, the concurrence reaches its maximum value 1, i.e. the entangled state, |Ψ⟩ = (((2) 1/2 )/2)(|01⟩-|10⟩), is maximum entanglement. For the XXZ chain, when Γ→∞, the concurrence will meet its maximum value 𝒞 max = (sinh (1/ T ))/(cosh (1/ T )).

Ground State Entanglement in Spin Systems

Hironori Yano, Hidetoshi Nishimori

We study the entanglement between arbitrary two spins in the XY and the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin chains in a uniform magnetic field.The entanglement of pairwise qubits in these models is obtained as a function of magnetic field by exact and numerical calculations.We find that the behavior of entanglement in the isotropic XY model is qualitatively the same as that in the Heisenberg model.Properties of entanglement length are also discussed.
