Entanglement oscillations in open Heisenberg chains

چکیده
We study pairwise entanglements in spin-half and spin-one Heisenberg chains with an open boundary condition, respectively. We find out that the ground-state and the first-excited-state entanglements are equal for the three-site spin-one chain. When the number of sites L > 3, the concurrences and negativities display oscillatory behaviors, and the oscillations of the ground-state and the firstexcited-state entanglements are out of phase or in phase.

Entanglement at the boundary of spin chains near a quantum critical point and in systems with boundary critical points
We analyze the entanglement properties of spins (qubits) attached to the boundary of spin chains near quantum critical points, or to dissipative environments, near a boundary critical point, such as Kondo-like systems or the dissipative two level system. In the first case, we show that the properties of the entanglement are significantly different from those for bulk spins. The influence of the...
متن کاملCritical entanglement of XXZ Heisenberg chains with defects
We study the entanglement properties of anisotropic open spin one-half Heisenberg chains with a modified central bond. The entanglement entropy between the two half-chains is calculated with the density-matrix renormalization method (DMRG). We find a logarithmic behaviour with an effective central charge c′ varying with the length of the system. It flows to one in the ferromagnetic region and t...
متن کاملEntanglement entropy of the random s=1 Heisenberg chain
Random spin chains at quantum critical points exhibit an entanglement entropy between a segment of length L and the rest of the chain that scales as log2 L with a universal coefficient. Since for pure quantum critical spin chains this coefficient is fixed by the central charge of the associated conformal field theory, the universal coefficient in the random case can be understood as an effectiv...
متن کاملDensity-matrix renormalization-group study of S=1/2 Heisenberg spin chains: Friedel oscillations and marginal system-size effects.
We report a density-matrix renormalization-group ~DMRG! study of S51/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin chains. We show the Friedel oscillations in open spin chains within bosonization theory. The bosonization predictions are in excellent agreement with the DMRG calculation. The chain length dependence of the ground state and several low-energy excited state energies are compared with conforma...
متن کاملRobust Entanglement in Anti-ferromagnetic Heisenberg Chains by Single-spin Optimal Control
We demonstrate how near-perfect entanglement (in fact arbitrarily close to maximal entanglement) can be generated between the end spins of an anti-ferromagnetic isotropic Heisenberg chain of length N , starting from the ground state in the N/2 excitation subspace, by applying a magnetic field along a given direction, acting on a single spin only. Temporally optimal magnetic fields to generate a...
