Abstract

In this paper we argue about the quantum correlation (quantum entanglement and geometric quantum discord) in four-qubit XXZ Heisenberg Model. Here, the influence of uniform magnetic field on the dynamics of quantum correlation in cases of the antiferromagnetism has been mainly investigated. According to the results, it has been illustrated that the role of the uniform magnetic field on the dynamics of quantum correlation depends on the selection of the initial state. Furthermore, geometric quantum discord exhibits greater robustness compared to quantum entanglement. Also results show that the max values of quantum correlations decrease and the duration of quantum entanglement sudden death gets longer as purity parameter decreases, and that exchange interaction can substantially make an effect on the dynamics of the quantum correlation.

Quantum correlation dynamics in a two-qubit Heisenberg XYZ model with decoherence

Guo-Hui Yang, Bing-Bing Zhang, Lei Li

Quantum correlation dynamics in an anisotropic Heisenberg XYZ model under decoherence is investigated by making use of concurrence C and quantum discord (QD). Firstly, we show that both the concurrence and QD exhibit oscillation with time whereas a remarkable difference between them is presented: there is an “entanglement intermittently sudden death” phenomenon in the concurrence but not in the QD, which is valid for all the initial states of this system. Also, the interval time of entanglement sudden death is found to be strongly dependent on the initial states, the inhomogeneous magnetic field b and the anisotropic parameter Δ . Then, it implies that the steady concurrence and QD can be obtained in the long-time limit, which means that the environmental decoherence cannot entirely destroy the quantum correlation, the variation of the uniform magnetic field B and the anisotropic parameter can change the magnitude of the steady concurrence and QD evidently whereas the parameter b cannot. In addition, based on the analysis of the steady concurrence and QD with t →∞, we give the reason why the magnitude of the steady concurrence and QD is so complicated with the change of the parameters B and Δ , whereas the parameter b is independent of the steady concurrence and QD.

Pairwise correlations via quantum discord and its geometric measure in a four-qubit spin chain

Abdel‐Baset A. Mohamed

The dynamic of pairwise correlations, including quantum entanglement (QE) and discord (QD) with geometric measure of quantum discord (GMQD), are shown in the four-qubit Heisenberg XX spin chain. The results show that the effect of the entanglement degree of the initial state on the pairwise correlations is stronger for alternate qubits than it is for nearest-neighbor qubits. This parameter results in sudden death for QE, but it cannot do so for QD and GMQD. With different values for this entanglement parameter of the initial state, QD and GMQD differ and are sensitive for any change in this parameter. It is found that GMQD is more robust than both QD and QE to describe correlations with nonzero values, which offers a valuable resource for quantum computation.

Thermal quantum discord of spins in an inhomogeneous magnetic field

Jin‐Liang Guo, Yingjuan Mi, Jian Zhang +1 more

In contrast with the thermal entanglement, we study the quantum discord and classical correlation in a two-qubit Heisenberg XXZ model with an inhomogeneous magnetic field. It is shown that the effects of the external magnetic fields, including the uniform and inhomogeneous magnetic fields, on the thermal entanglement, quantum discord and classical correlation behave differently in various aspects, which depend on system temperature and model type. We can tune the inhomogeneous magnetic field to enhance the entanglement or classical correlation and meanwhile decrease the quantum discord. In addition, taking into account the inhomogeneous magnetic field, the sudden change in the behaviour of quantum discord still survives, which can detect the critical points of quantum phase transitions at finite temperature, but not for a uniform magnetic field.

Magnetic Field Effects on Quantum Correlations for the XXX Heisenberg Spin Chain

Safa Jami, Zohreh Haqpanah

We study the geometric quantum discord (GQD) for three spin 1/2 particles in the XXX Heisenberg model with an external magnetic field. We investigate the effect of temperature and J (the strength of interaction) on the GQD. Then, we apply a uniform magnetic field to our system and study the behavior of the GQD under the field. Furthermore, we compare the behavior of the GQD to the entanglement for our system under the above parameters.

Quantum Discord Behavior about Two-Qubit Heisenberg XYZ Model with Decoherence

Le Song, Guo-Hui Yang

We investigate the properties of quantum discord dynamics of a two-qubit Heisenberg XYZ system which is influenced by the environmental decoherence under an external nonuniform magnetic field. It shows that the influence of the parameters on the system heavily rely on the selection of the initial states. One point shows that the environmental decoherence cannot entirely destroy the quantum correlation, and properly controlling the parameters can inhibit the decoherence. Moreover, it presents that the inhomogeneous magnetic field cannot affect the steady quantum discord (QD), while the uniform magnetic field and the anisotropy coupling constant will change the steady QD. These investigations imply that one can obtain larger steady QD values by reasonably adjusting parameters on quantum correlation in solid state systems.
