Quantum entanglement and Bell inequalities in Heisenberg spin chains

Wang, X, Paolo Zanardi A

Published Feb 19, 2002• 145 citations
OpenAlex

Abstract

We show that in one-dimensional isotropic Heisenberg model two-qubit thermal entanglement and maximal violation of Bell inequalities are directly related with a thermodynamical state function, i.e., the internal energy. Therefore they are completely determined by the partition function, the central object of thermodynamics. For ferromagnetic ring we prove that there is no thermal entanglement at any temperature. Explicit relations between the concurrence and the measure of maximal Bell inequality violation are given.

Bell’s inequality and entanglement in qubits

Po-Yao Chang, Su-Kuan Chu, Chen‐Te Ma

We propose an alternative evaluation of quantum entanglement by measuring the maximum violation of the Bell’s inequality without information of the reduced density matrix of a system. This proposal is demonstrated by bridging the maximum violation of the Bell’s inequality and a concurrence of a pure state in an n-qubit system, in which one subsystem only contains one qubit and the state is a linear combination of two product states. We apply this relation to the ground states of four qubits in the Wen-Plaquette model and show that they are maximally entangled. A topological entanglement entropy of the Wen-Plaquette model could be obtained by relating the upper bound of the maximum violation of the Bell’s inequality to the generalized concurrence of a pure state with respect to different bipartitions.

THERMAL ENTANGLEMENT IN THE TWO-QUBIT HEISENBERG XYZ MODEL

Gustavo Rigolin

We study the entanglement of a two-qubit one-dimensional XYZ Heisenberg chain in thermal equilibrium at temperature T. We obtain an analytical expression for the concurrence of this system in terms of the parameters of the Hamiltonian and T. We show that depending on the relation among the coupling constants, it is possible to increase the amount of entanglement of the system by increasing its anisotropy. We also show numerically that for all sets of the coupling constants entanglement is a monotonically decreasing function of the temperature T, proving that we must have at least an external magnetic field in the z-direction to obtain a behavior where entanglement increases with T.

Natural Thermal and Magnetic Entanglement in the 1D Heisenberg Model

M. C. Arnesen, Sougato Bose, Vlatko Vedral

We investigate the entanglement between any two spins in a one dimensional Heisenberg chain as a function of temperature and the external magnetic field. We find that the entanglement in an antiferromagnetic chain can be increased by increasing the temperature or the external field. Increasing the field can also create entanglement between otherwise disentangled spins. This entanglement can be confirmed by testing Bell's inequalities involving any two spins in the solid.

Violation of the Bell inequality for thermal states of interaction qubits investigated via a multi-qubit Heisenberg model

Xiaoguang Wang

We study the violations of the Bell inequality for thermal states of qubits in a multi-qubit Heisenberg model as a function of temperature and external magnetic field. Unlike the behaviours of the entanglement, the violation cannot be obtained by increasing the temperature or the magnetic field. The threshold temperatures of the violation are found be less than that of the entanglement. We also consider a realistic cavity-QED model which is a special case of the multi-qubit Heisenberg model.

Bell’s inequality, generalized concurrence and entanglement in qubits

Po-Yao Chang, Su-Kuan Chu, Chen‐Te Ma

It is well known that the maximal violation of the Bell’s inequality for a two-qubit system is related to the entanglement formation in terms of a concurrence. However, a generalization of this relation to an [Formula: see text]-qubit state has not been found. In this paper, we demonstrate some extensions of the relation between the upper bound of the Bell’s violation and a generalized concurrence in several [Formula: see text]-qubit states. In particular, we show the upper bound of the Bell’s violation can be expressed as a function of the generalized concurrence, if a state can be expressed in terms of two variables. We apply the relation to the Wen-Plaquette model and show that the topological entanglement entropy can be extracted from the maximal Bell’s violation.

Super-statistics and quantum entanglement in the isotropic Heisenberg $XY$ model from a non-additive thermodynamics perspective

Jorge David Castaño‐Yepes, Cristian Felipe Ramirez-Gutierrez

In this paper, the impact of temperature fluctuations in the entanglement of two qubits described by the Heisenberg $XY$ model is studied. To model the out-of-equilibrium situation, super-statistics is used with fluctuations given by a $\chi^2$ distribution function, and its free parameters are chosen in such a way that resembles the non-additive Tsallis thermodynamics. In order to preserve the Legendre structure of the thermal functions, particular energy constraints are imposed on the density operator and the internal energy. Analytical results are obtained using an additional set of constraints after a parametrization of the physical temperature. We show that the well-known parametrization may lead to undesirable values of the physical temperature so that by analyzing the entropy as a function of energy, the correct values are found. The quantum entanglement is obtained from the Concurrence and is compared with when the non-additive prescription is not imposed.

Super-statistics and quantum entanglement in the isotropic Heisenberg XYXYXY model from a non-additive thermodynamics perspective
In this paper, the impact of temperature fluctuations in the entanglement of two qubits described by the Heisenberg XYXYXY model is studied. To model the out-of-equilibrium situation, super-statistics is used with fluctuations given by a χ2\chi^2χ2 distribution function, and its free parameters are chosen in such a way that resembles the non-additive Tsallis thermodynamics. In order to preserve the Legendre structure of the thermal functions, particular energy constraints are imposed on the density operator and the internal energy. Analytical results are obtained using an additional set of constraints after a parametrization of the physical temperature.
