Exact Solution of a Yang-Baxter Spin-1/2 Chain Model and Quantum Entanglement
نویسندگان
چکیده
Entanglement is believed to be crucial in macroscopic physical systems for understanding the collective quantum phenomena such as quantum phase transitions. We start from and solve exactly a novel Yang-Baxter spin-1/2 chain model with inhomogeneous and anisotropic short-range interactions. For the ground state, we show the behavior of neighboring entanglement in the parameter space and find that the inhomogeneous coupling strengths affect entanglement in a distinctive way from the homogeneous case, but this would not affect the coincidence between entanglement and quantum criticality.

The Kitaev chain model exhibits topological order which manifests as topological degeneracy, Majorana edge modes and Z2 topological invariant of bulk spectrum. This model can be obtained from a transverse field Ising model(TFIM) using the Jordan-Wigner transformation. TFIM has neither topological degeneracy nor any edge modes. The natural question which arises is how is topological order in the...
متن کاملThermal effect and role of entanglement and coherence on excitation transfer in a spin chain
We analyze the role of bath temperature, coherence and entanglement on excitation transfer in a spin chain induced by the environment. In Markovian regime, we show that coherence and entanglement are very sensitive to bath temperature and vanish in time in contrary to the case of having zero-temperature bath. That is while, finding the last qubit of the chain in excited state increases by incre...

The entanglement at zero-temperature is studied in a two-qubit XZ spin-1/2 chain model in anexternal magnetic field which is applied in the z direction. We have obtained an analytical relation forthe effect of the external magnetic field on the concurrence. It is shown that the ground state of thesystem depends on the strength of exchange coupling. We have shown that the analytical relation oft...
متن کاملExactly Solvable Models of Generalized Spin Ladders
We study S = 1 2 spin ladder systems with isotropic exchange interactions between spins on neighboring rungs. We show that a ladder with suitable diagonal and biquadratic interactions is integrable in the sense that the quantum Yang-Baxter equation holds and one has an infinite number of conserved quantities. We give the R-matrix and L-operator associated with the ladder model. The model can be...
متن کاملThe Entanglement Entropy of Solvable Lattice Models
We consider the spin κ/2 analogue of the XXZ quantum spin chain. We compute the entanglement entropy S associated with splitting the infinite chain into two semi-infinite pieces. In the scaling limit, we find S ≃ cκ 6 ln(ξ) + g + · · · . Here ξ is the correlation length and cκ = 3κ κ+2 is the central charge associated with the ŝl2 WZW model at level κ. g is the boundary entropy of the WZW model...
