Phase transitions of bipartite entanglement.

چکیده
We analyze the statistical properties of the entanglement of a large bipartite quantum system. By framing the problem in terms of random matrices and a fictitious temperature, we unveil the existence of two phase transitions, characterized by different spectra of the reduced density matrices.

Symmetry-breaking effects upon bipartite and multipartite entanglement in the XY model
We analyze the bipartite and multipartite entanglement for the ground state of the one-dimensional XY model in a transverse magnetic field in the thermodynamical limit. We explicitly take into account the spontaneous symmetry breaking in order to explore the relation between entanglement and quantum phase transitions. As a result we show that while both bipartite and multipartite entanglement c...
متن کاملQuantum phase transitions and bipartite entanglement.
We develop a general theory of the relation between quantum phase transitions (QPTs) characterized by nonanalyticities in the energy and bipartite entanglement. We derive a functional relation between the matrix elements of two-particle reduced density matrices and the eigenvalues of general two-body Hamiltonians of d-level systems. The ground state energy eigenvalue and its derivatives, whose ...
متن کاملConcurrence in collective models
We review the entanglement properties in collective models and their relationship with quantum phase transitions. Focusing on the concurrence, which characterizes the two-spin entanglement, we show that for first-order transitions, this quantity is singular but continuous at the transition point, contrary to the common belief. We also propose a conjecture for the concurrence of arbitrary symmet...
متن کاملScaling of Tripartite Entanglement at Impurity Quantum Phase Transitions.
The emergence of a diverging length scale in many-body systems at a quantum phase transition implies that total entanglement has to reach its maximum there. In order to fully characterize this, one has to consider multipartite entanglement as, for instance, bipartite entanglement between individual particles fails to signal this effect. However, quantification of multipartite entanglement is ve...
متن کاملCharacterization of multipartite entanglement for one photon shared among four optical modes.
Access to genuine multipartite entanglement of quantum states enables advances in quantum information science and also contributes to the understanding of strongly correlated quantum systems. We report the detection and characterization of heralded entanglement in a multipartite quantum state composed of four spatially distinct optical modes that share one photon, a so-called W state. By random...
