Abstract

We investigate entanglement of spin pairs in alternating open spin chains ( s = 1/2) with spin-spin interactions (SSI) in the thermodynamic equilibrium state in an external magnetic field. The reduced density matrix of an arbitrarily chosen spin pair was calculated. The entanglement of a spin pair was evaluated with the Wootters criterion. The temperature at which the entangled state arises in the chosen pair was determined. Entanglement (concurrence) is shown to oscillate as a function of the position of a spin pair in the chain. The results demonstrate the dependence of the entanglement in arbitrarily chosen pairs of neighboring spins on the temperature, the position of the spin pair in the chain, chain length, and the ratio between the SSI constants. Qualitative explanation of these dependences is offered. The role of the terminal spins in the generation of entanglement is explained.

Entanglement in alternating open chains of nuclear spins s = 1/2 with the XY Hamiltonian

Serge I. Doronin, Alexey N. Pyrkov, Edward B. Fel’dman

Entanglement is studied in an open alternating chain of nuclear spins s = 1/2 with spin-spin couplings in an external magnetic field under the thermodynamic equilibrium conditions. A reduced density matrix has been calculated for an arbitrarily chosen spin pair. The entanglement of the spin pair has been estimated according to the Wootters criterion. The temperature at which an entangled state appears in a chosen pair has been determined. It has been shown that the numerical characteristics of the entanglement are oscillating functions of the position of the spin pair in the chain.

Quantum entanglement in spin chains with the XY Hamiltonian at the quantum state transfer

E. I. Kuznetsova, I. D. Lazarev

In the present work the generation of entanglement between the receiver and sender is investigated in the process of the quantum state transfer in the homogeneous one-dimensional chain of spins 1/2 with the XY -Hamiltonian in the approximation of the nearest neighbour interactions. Fidelity is obtained for a quantum state transfer for various numbers of spins and temperatures and values of initial polarisation of the sender’s spin. The transmitted pure state is encoded in the state of first spin (sender) in the initial time moment. The other spins are in the thermodynamic equilibrium state. The reduced density matrix for the receiver and the sender is obtained for an investigation of entanglement in the “sender-receiver” system. The effect of temperature and polarization of the transmitted state on the generation of entanglement in the system is also investigated.

Entanglement between distant qubits in cyclic XX chains

N. Canosa, R. Rossignoli

We evaluate the exact concurrence between any two spins in a cyclic $XX$ chain of $n$ spins placed in a uniform transverse magnetic field, at both zero and finite temperature, by means of the Jordan-Wigner transformation plus a number-parity-projected statistics. It is shown that, while at $T=0$ there is always entanglement between any two spins in a narrow field interval before the transition to the aligned state, at low but nonzero temperatures the entanglement remains nonzero for arbitrarily high fields, for any pair separation $L$, although its magnitude decreases exponentially with increasing field. It is also demonstrated that the associated limit temperatures approach a constant nonzero value in this limit, which decreases as ${L}^{\ensuremath{-}2}$ for $L⪡n$, but exhibit special finite-size effects for distant qubits $(L\ensuremath{\approx}n∕2)$. Related aspects such as the different behavior of even and odd antiferromagnetic chains, the existence of $n$ ground-state transitions, and the thermodynamic limit $n\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}$ are also discussed.

DYNAMICS OF ENTANGLEMENT FOR ONE-DIMENSIONAL SPIN SYSTEMS IN AN EXTERNAL TIME-DEPENDENT MAGNETIC FIELD

Zhen Huang, Sabre Kais

We study the dynamics of entanglement for the XY-model, one-dimensional spin systems coupled through the nearest neighbor exchange interaction and subject to an external time-dependent magnetic field. Using the two-site density matrix, we calculate the time-dependent entanglement of formation between nearest neighbor qubits. We investigate the effect of varying the temperature, the anisotropy parameter and the external time-dependent magnetic field on the entanglement. We have found that the entanglement can be localized between nearest neighbor qubits for certain values of the external time-dependent magnetic field. Moreover, as known for the magnetization of this model, the entanglement shows nonergodic behavior, it does not approach its equilibrium value at the infinite time limit.

General theory of entanglement enhancement by external fields in spin chains

Tomotaka Kuwahara

In the present thesis, we report several general properties of the enhancement of the entanglement by external fields. First, we investigate the thermal entanglement of interacting two qubits. We maximize it by tuning a local Hamiltonian under a given interaction Hamiltonian. We prove that the optimizing local Hamiltonian takes a simple form which dose not depend on the temperature and that the corresponding optimized thermal entanglement decays as 1/(T log T ) at high temperatures. We also find that at low temperatures the thermal entanglement is maximum without any local Hamiltonians and that the second derivative of the maximized thermal entanglement changes discontinuously at the boundary between the highand low-temperature phases. Second, we investigate the maximized entanglement of indirectly interacting two spins, that is, through other spins. We present a necessary condition for the indirect interaction to give a non-zero maximized entanglement between the focused spins. We also prove that if the focused spins are separated by two spins, there is a critical temperature above which the maximized entanglement between the focused spins vanishes. Then, we numerically calculate the maximized entanglement between the end spins of three-spin chains and four-spin chains. We discover that the maximizing local fields on the end spins have asymmetric forms. In the three-spin chains, we attribute the entanglement enhancement to the asymmetry of the local fields qualitatively and quantitatively in terms of the magnons. In XX and XY four-spin chains, we find that the critical temperature shows qualitatively different behavior depending on the conservation of the angular momentum in the z direction.

Entanglement in the XZ spin chain model in the external magnetic field

F. Soheilian, Mohammad Reza Soltani, M Firoozi +1 more

The entanglement at zero-temperature is studied in a two-qubit XZ spin-1/2 chain model in an external magnetic field which is applied in the z direction. We have obtained an analytical relation for the effect of the external magnetic field on the concurrence. It is shown that the ground state of the system depends on the strength of exchange coupling. We have shown that the analytical relation of the concurrence is independent of Jz. It is shown that for Jz >0 the concurrence is depended on the critical value of the external magnetic field and it is changed at the critical external magnetic field. Also we have shown that for h hc, the concurrence decreases by increasing the external magnetic field. For Jz <0, the concurrence decreases by increasing the external magnetic field.
