Emaranhamento e Desigualdade de Bell no Modelo XXZ

Abstract

For many years it was believed that entanglement and violation of the Bell inequalities were the same peculiar aspect of Quantum Mechanics: non-locality. Nowadays, it is known that this equivalence is not complete, being true only for pure states; in other words, there are entangled mixed states that do not violate the Bell inequalities. Thus it is interesting to analyze properties of states which exhibit such difference, in order to better understand it. Here we present such a study of the connection between entanglement and violation of the Bell inequalities in Quantum Phase Transitions. More pecifically, we analyze this relation for two particles in an infinity one-dimensional spin-12 chain described by the XXZ model. We show that the two particles do not violate the Bell-CHSH inequality for any value of anisotropy, even in regions where they are entangled. Therefore, the entanglement that is relevant in Quantum Phase Transitions is not a trivial one , since it is not revealed by the Bell-CHSH inequality. We also demonstrate that the study of the Bell-CHSH inequality can indicate not only the first order phase transition as the infinity order one, while the fundamental energy per particle and the concurrence can only indicate the first order phase transition.

Bell inequalities and entanglement at quantum phase transitions in the XXZ model

L. Justino, Thiago Rodrigues de Oliveira

Entanglement and violation of Bell inequalities are aspects of quantum nonlocality that have been often confused in the past. It is now known that this equivalence is only true for pure states. Even though almost all the studies of quantum correlations at quantum phase transitions deal only with entanglement, we here argue that Bell inequalities can also reveal a general quantum phase transition. This is also shown for a particular case of two spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ particles in an infinite one-dimensional chain described by the XXZ model. In this case, the Bell inequality is able to signal not only the first-order phase transition, but also the infinite-order Kosterlitz-Thouless quantum phase transition, which cannot be revealed either by the energy of the system nor by the bipartite entanglement. We also show that although the nearest-neighbor spins are entangled, they, unexpectedly, never violate the Bell inequality. This indicates that the type of entanglement which is relevant for quantum phase transition is not trivial, i.e., it cannot be revealed by the Bell inequality.

Multipartite quantum nonlocality and Bell-type inequalities in an infinite-order quantum phase transition of the one-dimensional spin-1/2 XXZ chain

Zhao‐Yu Sun, Shuang Liu, Hailin Huang +7 more

In this paper, using the infinite time-evolving block decimation (iTEBD) algorithm and Bell-type inequalities, we investigate multipartite quantum nonlocality in an infinite one-dimensional quantum spin-$\frac{1}{2} XXZ$ system. High hierarchy of multipartite nonlocality can be observed in the gapless phase of the model, while only the lowest hierarchy of multipartite nonlocality is observed in most regions of the gapped antiferromagnetic phase. Thereby, Bell-type inequalities disclose different correlation structures in the two phases of the system. Furthermore, at the infinite-order quantum phase transition (QPT, or Kosterlitz-Thouless QPT) point of the model, the correlation measures always show a local minimum value, regardless of the length of the subchains. It indicates that relatively low hierarchy of multipartite nonlocality would be observed at the infinite-order QPT point in a Bell-type experiment. The result is in contrast to the existing results of the second-order QPT in the one-dimensional $XY$ model, where multipartite nonlocality with the highest hierarchy has been observed. Thus, multipartite nonlocality provides an alternative perspective to distinguish between these two kinds of QPTs. Reliable clues for the existence of tripartite quantum entanglement have also been found.

Entanglement detection: Linear entropy versus Bell-CHSH inequality

Satyabrata Adhikari

The relation between the violation of the Bell-CHSH inequalities and entanglement properties of quantum states is not clear so one may consider the mixedness of the system to understand the entanglement properties better than the Bell-CHSH inequality. In this respect, we prove that if the mixedness of the state measured by the linear entropy is less than 2/3 but strictly greater than zero then the two qubit states are entangled. But if the linear entropy is greater or equal to 2/3 then the state may or may not be entangled. Further we show that our entanglement criterion detects larger set of entangled state than Bell-CHSH inequality and Santos's entropic criterion [Phys. Rev. A 69, 022305 (2004)]. Lastly we illustrate our result by citing few examples.

Nonlocality, entanglement and quantum teleportation for mixed spin-1/2 states

MM Ettefaghi, N Pour-Rahimi

The violation of Bell’s inequality in quantum mechanics implies that there exist nonlocality and entanglement. When the density matrix of a composite system cannot be written as a convex combination of the product of the density matrices of its subsystems, we say there exists entanglement. For pure states, the existence of entanglement always leads to the violation of Bell’s inequality. However, in the case of the mixed states, there may be entanglement, but Bell's inequality is not violated and in other words, the nonlocality is not manifested. In addition to Bell's inequality, quantum teleportation is also a manifestation of nonlocality. Quantum teleportation using entangled states is more successful than quantum teleportation with separable states. Therefore, the corresponding fidelity of teleported state with the initial state (in short, the fidelity) of the former is always greater than the fidelity of the latter. In this paper, for Werner's state, we will show that in a range of the related parameter, while the CHSH inequality is violated, the fidelity, which indicates the amount of success of quantum teleportation, is lower than the upper bound of the corresponding fidelity for states that can be simulated with a local hidden variable theory. Meanwhile, we will see that for Gisin's state with hidden nonlocality, filtering, which leads to the appearance of nonlocality and more specifically leads to the violation of the CHSH inequality, also increases the fidelity.

Performance of various correlation measures in quantum phase transitions using the quantum renormalization-group method

Yao Yao, Hong-Wei Li, Chun-Mei Zhang +4 more

We have investigated the quantum phase transition employing the quantum renormalization-group method while, in most of the previous literature, entanglement (concurrence) has been barely demonstrated. However, it is now well known that entanglement is not the only signature of quantum correlations and a variety of computable measures have been developed to characterize quantum correlations in the composite systems. As an illustration, two cases are elaborated: a one-dimensional anisotropic (i) $XXZ$ model and (ii) an $XY$ model, with various measures of quantum correlations, including quantum discord, geometric discord, measurement-induced disturbance, measurement-induced nonlocality, and violation of Bell inequalities [e.g., Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality]. We have proved that all of these correlation measures can effectively detect the quantum critical points associated with quantum phase transitions after several iterations of the renormalization in both cases. Nonetheless, it is shown that some of their dynamical behaviors are not totally similar with entanglement and, even when concurrence vanishes, there still exists some kind of quantum correlation which is not captured by entanglement. Intriguingly, CHSH inequality can never be violated in the whole iteration procedure, which indicates that block-block entanglement cannot revealed by the CHSH inequality. Moreover, the nonanalytic and scaling behaviors of Bell violation have also been discussed in detail. As a by-product, we verify that measurement-induced disturbance is exactly equal to the quantum discord measured by ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{z}$ for general $\mathsf{X}$-structured states.

Quantum entanglement and Bell inequalities in Heisenberg spin chains

Wang, X, Paolo Zanardi A

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.
