Abstract

We study the effect of a phase shift on the amount of transferable two-spin entanglement in a spin chain. We consider a ferromagnetic Heisenberg or $XY$ spin chain, both numerically and analytically, and two mechanisms to generate a phase shift, the Aharonov-Casher effect, and the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. In both cases, the maximum attainable entanglement is shown to be significantly enhanced, suggesting its potential usefulness in quantum information processing.

Enhanced entanglement transfer by phase-shift control in two parallel Heisenberg spin chains

We investigate the effect of phase shift on the entanglement transfer in two parallel 1D spin chains. We calculate the concurrence, measures for two-qubit entanglement, as a function of time. We find the maximum achievable entanglement in the cases with and without phase shift. Although the entanglement transfer becomes slow in most cases with phase shift, the significant enhancement of the maximum achievable entanglement is obtained which suggests its potential usefulness in quantum information processing.

Entanglement dynamics of a Heisenberg chain with Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction

Qiang Zheng, Xiaoping Zhang, Qi‐Jun Zhi +1 more

This paper investigates the entanglement dynamics of the system, composed of two qubits A and B with Heisenberg XX spin interactation. There is a third controller qubit C, which only has Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya (DM) spin-orbit interaction with the qubit B. It is found that depending on the initial state of the controller qubit C and DM interaction, the entanglement of the system displays amplification and sudden birth effects. These effects indicate that one can control the entanglement of the system, which may be helpful for quantum information processing.

Quantum correlation transfer through two parallel XXZ spin chains with phase shift control

Jian Zhang, Bin Shao, Ben‐Qiong Liu +3 more

Transmitting quantum states and entanglement through quantum channels is one of the key requirements for the development of quantum computation. Quantum discord has received much attention in quantum computation. We transfer quantum discord through two parallel XXZ spin chains with phase shift. The maximum discord can be enhanced by the phase shift. It will take more time to obtain an enhanced maximum discord in some cases, but for other cases, both the maximum and speed are enhanced by the phase shift. In the thermodynamic limit, the effect of the phase shift disappears and the maximum discord exponentially decays with increasing of the receiving position. Our results on spin chains are generalized to a family of linear Hamiltonians.

Improvement of entanglement transfer by weak measurement and quantum measurement reversal in two parallel Heisenberg spin chains

Zhi He, Chunmei Yao, Jian Zou

The effect of weak measurement (WM) and quantum measurement reversal (QMR) on the entanglement transfer in two parallel Heisenberg spin chains is investigated. We find that the entanglement transfer can be enhanced by the WM and QMR control for different N ( N is the length of each spin chain) and m ( m denotes the m th spin pair). More interestingly, we also find that, in the thermodynamic limit where the so-called phase-shift control is invalid, the WM and QMR control is instead very effective. So this investigation indicates that the WM and QMR approach has potential applications in quantum information processing based on the spin chain.

Pairwise entanglement in three-qubit Heisenberg model with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction

Yanhui Wang, Yun‐Jie Xia, 山东省激光偏光与信息技术重点实验室，曲阜师范大学物理系，曲阜 273165

In this paper, we study the improvement and manipulation of pairwise thermal entanglement in one-dimentional three-qubit Heisenberg model, where Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya （DM） interaction is considered and concurrence is calculated to research this entanglements property. The results show that for XXX model, DM interaction can induce entanglement in the antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic spin chains although the required critical values are different for these cases. For XXZ model, by introducing DM interaction D, antiferromagnetic spin chain has entanglement which is absent when D=0, and in addition, for antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic cases, DM interaction D and the anisotropy parameter Δ have different effects on entanglement. As a result, the entanglement can be controlled and enhanced by choosing appropriate DM interaction and anisotropy parameter. Furthermore, we find that at the same temperature, no matter for antiferromagnetic or ferromagnetic spin chains, the critical DM interaction inducing entanglement should be greater in a three-qubit XXZ model than that in a two-qubit XXZ model.

Entanglement transmission due to the Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction

Mostafa Motamedifar, Fatemeh Sadeghi, Mojtaba Golshani

We revisited the effectiveness of state and entanglement transmission through a spin-chain-based quantum channel while altering the system parameters and the channel's initial state. Our research is focused on the spin-1/2 XX chain with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction and the aim is to measure entanglement dynamics between different part of the chain. The speed of entanglement propagation is utilized to probe the evolution of the system via three scenarios: (i) pure Heisenberg interaction, (ii) pure DM interaction, and (iii) collaboration of both types of couplings. To accomplish this, we employ the fermionization approach to obtain an exact solution to the problem. Aside from investigating the influence of magnetic interaction type on entanglement transfer, the effect of selecting the initial state has also been studied. As a result, we discovered that the phase factor regulating the system's initial state induces sharp drops in the propagation speed of entanglement. We also showed how to predict the location of these dramatic drops using the language of wave interference. In addition, the fastest transmission occurs at a special value of the phase factor in which the highest amount of entanglement reaches the system's different pairs. On the other hand, we observe a continuous and flat range of this factor in which the least amount of entanglement is transmitted and for them we have a sharp drop in the speed profile.
