We study maximal bipartite entanglement in valence-bond states and show that the average bipartite entanglement
Ev2, between a sub-system of two spins and the rest of the system, can be maximized through a homogenized superposition of the valence-bond states. Our derived maximal
Ev2 rapidly increases with system size and saturates at its maximum allowed value. We also demonstrate that our maximal
Ev2 states are ground states of an infinite range Heisenberg model (IRHM) and represent a new class of resonating-valence-bond (RVB) states. The entangled RVB states produced from our IRHM are robust against interaction of spins with both local and global phonons and represent a new class of decoherence free states.
We investigate the entanglement properties of resonating valence bond (RVB) states on a two-dimensional lattice in the presence of dopants that remove electrons from the lattice creating holes. The movement of the holes generated by the Hubbard Hamiltonian in the regime of strong Coulomb repulsion in this setting could be responsible for the phenomenon of high-temperature superconductivity as hypothesized by [Anderson Science 235, 1196 (1987)]. We argue that there is a particular density of dopants (holes) where the entanglement contained in the lattice attains its maximal value for the nearest-neighbor RVB liquid state. This result implies that many-body entanglement may be related to quantum phase transitions that are modeled by RVB theory.
