Abstract

We have investigated the properties of thermal entanglement in a triangular spin ring of the single molecular magnet (SMM) Na9[Cu3Na3(H2O)9 (α-AsW9O33)2]·26H2O in a magnetic field, and the pairwise concurrences of arbitrary two Cu2+ ion qubits are calculated numerically, hereafter abbreviated as C12, C23 and C13, respectively. Results show that the magnitude and direction of magnetic field as well as temperature have important effects on the pairwise thermal entanglement. Moreover, C12, C23 and C13 have difference variations with the change of the parameters. We also plot the changes of the critical temperatures Tc of C12, C23 and C13 with the magnetic fields along three different directions, and from the critical temperature-magnetic field phase diagrams one can obtain the ranges of parameters in which the pairwise thermal entanglement in a triangular spin ring of the SMM exists. Therefore, the pairwise entanglement can be controlled and enhanced in the SMM by choosing appropriate magnitude and direction of magnetic field and temperature.

Tripartite entanglement of {Cu3} single molecular magnet with magnetic field in thermal equilibrium

Yidan Zheng, Bin Zhou

Quantum entanglement is one of the most fundamental properties of quantum mechanics. Because of the nonlocality, quantum entanglement is widely used in quantum computation and quantum information. Considering the fact that thermal fluctuation suppresses quantum effects, the concept of thermal entanglement is introduced to refer to the idea that the effect of temperature should be viewed as external control in the preparation of entangled state. It has been found that nanoscale single molecular magnet has a novel quantum effect at low temperature. Furthermore, single-molecular magnet is viewed as a promising candidate for realizing encoding and manipulation of quantum information. Na9[Cu3Na3(H2O)9(-AsW9O33)2]26H2O (denoted as {Cu3} for convenience) is one of the typical representatives of nanoscale single molecular magnets. In this paper, we will theoretically analyze the properties of tripartite entanglement in {Cu3} with an external magnetic field in thermal equilibrium. The tripartite negativity is used to characterize the tripartite entanglement. The tripartite negativity of {Cu3} single molecular magnet is calculated numerically by using the equivalent spin model and experimental fitting parameters. We consider the magnetic fields along the vertical and the parallel directions of triangular spin ring, respectively, and the case with a tilted magnetic field is also discussed in this paper. It is shown that the magnitude and direction of magnetic field, and temperature have importance effects on the tripartite negativity of the system. It is found that the larger extra strong magnetic field will inhibit the generation of the quantum state of tripartite entanglement at higher temperature. In addition, compared with the magnetic field along the parallel direction of triangular spin ring and the tilted magnetic field, the magnetic field along the vertical direction of triangular spin ring obtains larger values of tripartite negativity under the same temperature and magnetic field. We also plot the variations of the critical temperature with the magnetic field along different directions, and from the critical temperature-magnetic field phase diagrams one can obtain the range of parameters in which the tripartite entanglement of the system exists. We also find that entanglement revival behaviors may occur in the specific range of parameters. Therefore, the properties of the tripartite entanglement in the {Cu3} triangular spin ring can be controlled and enhanced by choosing appropriate magnitude and direction of the magnetic field and temperature.

Global entanglement in ground state of {Cu3} single-molecular magnet with magnetic field

Jiqiang Li, Bin Zhou

We investigate global entanglement in the ground state of single-molecular magnet Na 9 [Cu 3 Na 3 (H 2 O) 9 (α-AsW 9 O 33 ) 2 ]·26H 2 O with an external magnetic field. The concurrence, tangle, and measure function Q , which characterize the pairwise entanglement, 3-party entanglement and total entanglement, respectively, are calculated numerically at zero temperature. The results show that the magnitude and direction of the applied magnetic field play a significant role in the properties of three kinds of entanglement measures. We give a physical interpretation of the variation of the global entanglement with the magnetic field. Finally, the phase diagram of the global entanglement characterized by the critical magnetic fields is presented.

Entanglement in a molecular three-qubit system

Amit Kumar Pal, Indrani Bose

We study the entanglement properties of a molecular three-qubit system described by the Heisenberg spin Hamiltonian with anisotropic exchange interactions and including an external magnetic field. The system exhibits first-order quantum phase transitions by tuning two parameters, x and y, of the Hamiltonian to specific values. The three-qubit chain is open-ended so that there are two types of pairwise entanglement: nearest-neighbour (nn) and next-nearest-neighbour (nnn). We calculate the ground and thermal state concurrences, quantifying pairwise entanglement, as a function of the parameters x, y and the temperature T. The entanglement threshold and gap temperatures are also determined as a function of the anisotropy parameter x. The results obtained are of relevance in understanding the entanglement features of the recently engineered molecular Cr(7)Ni-Cu(2+)-Cr(7)Ni complex which serves as a three-qubit system at sufficiently low temperatures.

Thermal Entanglement in Spin-Dimer V 4+ with a Strong Magnetic Field

Zhang Guo-Feng, Liang Jiu-Qing, Qiwei Yan

We study the entanglement in Heisenberg dimer single molecular magnets V 4+ with a strong magnetic field by means of the measure of entanglement called ``concurrence'' and find that thermal entanglement exists for both the ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) cases. In the FM case, entanglement vanishes for anisotropic parameter λ = 0 while in the AFM case, entanglement exits in the whole region of anisotropic parameter 0⩽λ⩽1. Entanglement variations with anisotropic parameter λ, magnetic field B and temperature T are evaluated. We find a critical magnetic field at which the concurrence changes sharply from zero to maximum entanglement.

Thermal entanglement in a five-qubit XXZ Heisenberg spin chain with the next nearest neighboring interaction

Liu Gui-Yan, Mao Zhu, Bin Zhou

In the study of thermal entanglement of the Heisenberg spin chain model, one usually considers only the spin interaction between the nearest neighboring qubits. Actually, a generalized Heisenberg model, so-called J1-J2 Heisenberg model, which is constructed by considering the fact that not only the nearest neighboring but also the next nearest neighboring spin interaction also plays an important role. In J1-J2 Heisenberg model, due to the next nearest neighboring spin interaction, the frustration effect can occur and has an important influence on the magnetic properties of the model. In this paper we investigate the thermal entanglement of a five-qubit XXZ Heisenberg spin chain with the next nearest neighboring interaction in a magnetic field. Using the numerical method, we calculate the pairwise concurrences of the nearest neighbouring qubits and the next nearest neighboring qubits, abbreviated as C12 and C13 respectively. The numerical results show that the frustration parameter α has an important effect on the pairwise thermal entanglement. Moreover, C12 and C13 have different variations with the change of the frustration parameter α. Meanwhile, it is found that the temperature, magnetic field, Dzyaloshinkii-Moriya (DM) interaction and anisotropic parameter also have great effects on the thermal entanglement. The increasing of temperature can reduce the thermal entanglement. The magnetic field can enhance the thermal entanglement between both two nearest and next nearest neighboring qubits, but when the magnetic field becomes strong enough, only the thermal entanglement between the two nearest neighboring qubits is suppressed. A certain extent of DM interaction can enhance the thermal entanglement between the two nearest neighboring qubits. But for the next nearest neighboring qubits, without the magnetic field, the increasing of DM interaction mainly enlarge the entanglement vanishing area of frustration parameter α. When the system changes from anisotropic to isotropic state, the entanglement vanishing area also changes obviously for C12 and C13. Thus, we can choose appropriate magnetic field strength, temperature, frustration parameter, DM interaction parameter and anisotropic parameter to effectively control and enhance the thermal entanglement of the system.
