Bipartite and Tripartite Entanglement in a Three-Qubit Heisenberg Model

The bipartite and tripartite entanglement in a three-qubit Heisenberg XY model with a nonuniformmagnetic field is studied. There are two or four peaks in the concurrence of the bipartite entanglement when the amplitudes of the magnetic fields are differently distributed between the three qubits. It is very interesting to note that there is no tangle of tripartite entanglement between the three qubits when the amplitudes of the magnetic fields are varied. However, the variation of the magnetic field direction can induce the tangle. The tangle is periodic about the angle between the magnetic field and the z axis of the spin.

Detection of Tripartite Genuine Entanglement by Two Bipartite Entangled States

There are practical motivations to construct genuine tripartite entangled states based on the collective use of two bipartite entangled states. Here, the case that the states are two‐qubit Werner states is considered. The intervals of parameters of two‐qubit Werner states are revealed such that the tripartite state is genuinely entangled. Furthermore, we also investigate the lower bound of genuine multipartite entanglement concurrence for tripartite qudit states. Several examples are given to show the effectiveness of the lower bound.     

Bipartite entanglement in spin-1/2 Heisenberg model

The bipartite entanglement of the two- and three-spin Heisenberg model was investigated by using the concept of negativity. It is found that for the ground-state entanglement of the two-spin model, the negativity always decreases as B increases if Δ<γ－1, and it may keep a steady value of 0.5 in the region of B2－γ²]^1/2 if Δ>γ－1, while for that of the three-spin model, the negativity exhibits square wave structures if γ=0 or Δ=0. For thermal states, there are two areas showing entanglement, namely, the main region and the sub-region. The main region exists only when Δ>Δ_c (Δ_c=γ－1 and (γ²－1)/2 for the 2- and 3-spin model respectively) and extends in terms of B and T as Δ increases, while the sub-region survives only when γ≠0 and shrinks in terms of B and T as Δ increases.     

Thermal Entanglement of a Three-Qubit Heisenberg Chain with a Nonuniform Magnetic Field

The thermal entanglement of a three-qubit Heisenberg chain under a nonuniform magnetic field is studied. It is very interesting to note that the next nearest neighbor entanglement （NNNE） could be larger than the nearest neighbor entanglement （NNE）. We analyze the ground state entanglement, and give the conditions that NNNE is larger than NNE near zero temperature. Our results also show that the nonuniform field could induce the entanglement and improve the threshold temperature at certain parameter region.     

Multipartite Entanglement in Heisenberg Model

The effects of anisotropy and magnetic field on multipartite entanglement of ground state in Heisenberg XY model are investigated. The multipartite entanglement increases as a function of the inverse strength of the external field when the degree of anisotropy is finite. There are two peaks when the degree of anisotropy is γ=±1. When the degree of anisotropy increases further, the multipartite entanglement will decrease and tend to a constant. The threshold of the inverse strength of the external field for generating multipartite entanglement generally decreases with the increasing of qubits.     

Bipartite entanglement in a two-qubit Heisenberg XXZ chain under an inhomogeneous magnetic field

This paper investigates the bipartite entanglement of a two-qubit Heisenberg XXZ chain under an inhomogeneous magnetic field. By the concept of negativity, we find that the inhomogeneity of the magnetic field may induce entanglement and the critical magnetic field is independent of Jz. We also find that the entanglement is symmetric with respect to a zero magnetic field. The anisotropy parameter Jz may enhance the entanglement.     

Detecting Tripartite Steering via Quantum Entanglement

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering is a kind of powerful nonlocal quantum resource in quantum information processing such as quantum cryptography and quantum communication. Many criteria have been proposed in the past few years to detect steerability, both analytically and numerically, for bipartite quantum systems. We propose effective criteria for tripartite steerability and genuine tripartite steerability of three-qubit quantum states by establishing connections between the tripartite steerability (resp. genuine tripartite steerability) and the tripartite entanglement (resp. genuine tripartite entanglement) of certain corresponding quantum states. From these connections, tripartite steerability and genuine tripartite steerability can be detected without using any steering inequalities. The “complex cost” of determining tripartite steering and genuine tripartite steering can be reduced by detecting the entanglement of the newly constructed states in the experiment. Detailed examples are given to illustrate the power of our criteria in detecting the (genuine) tripartite steerability of tripartite states.

Ground State,Magnetization Process and Bipartite Quantum Entanglement of a Spin-1/2 Ising–Heisenberg Model on Planar Lattices of Interconnected Trigonal Bipyramids

The ground state, magnetization scenario and the local bipartite quantum entanglement of a mixed spin-1/2 Ising–Heisenberg model in a magnetic field on planar lattices formed by identical corner-sharing bipyramidal plaquettes is examined by combining the exact analytical concept of generalized decoration-iteration mapping transformations with Monte Carlo simulations utilizing the Metropolis algorithm. The ground-state phase diagram of the model involves six different phases, namely, the standard ferrimagnetic phase, fully saturated phase, two unique quantum ferrimagnetic phases, and two macroscopically degenerate quantum ferrimagnetic phases with two chiral degrees of freedom of the Heisenberg triangular clusters. The diversity of ground-state spin arrangement is manifested themselves in seven different magnetization scenarios with one, two or three fractional plateaus whose values are determined by the number of corner-sharing plaquettes. The low-temperature values of the concurrence demonstrate that the bipartite quantum entanglement of the Heisenberg spins in quantum ferrimagnetic phases is field independent, but twice as strong if the Heisenberg spin arrangement is unique as it is two-fold degenerate.     

Bipartite entanglement in spin-1/2Heisenberg model

The bipartite entanglement of the two-and three-spin Heisenberg model was investigated by using the concept of negativity.It is found that for the ground-state entanglement of the two-spin model,the negativity always decreases as B increases if A Δ＜y-1,and it may keep a steady value of 0.5in the region of B＜J[(Δ+1)2-y2]1/2if Δ＞y-1,while for that of the three-spin model,the negativity exhibits square wave structures if y=0 or Δ=0.For thermal states,there are two areas showing entanglement,namely,the main region and the sub-region.The main region exists only when Δ＞Δc(Δc1=and(y2-1)/2for the 2-and 3-spin model respectively)and extends in terms of B and T as Δ increases,while the sub-region survives only when y≠0 and shrinks in terms of B and T as Δ increases.     

Entanglement in spin-1 Heisenberg <Emphasis Type="Italic">XY</Emphasis> chain

We investigated the quantum entanglement in spin-1 Heisenberg XY chain for two-spin-qutrit and multi-particle systems. As a measure of the entanglement, the negativity of this state was analyzed as a function of the temperature and the magnetic field. We gave some numerical results and discussed them in detail. We found that the negativity increases monotonously with the coupling constants |J ₁| and |J ₂|, and it showed a symmetry with respect to the point of J ₁ = 0 and J ₂ = 0. In addition to the above features, there is evidence that the critical temperature is independent of the length of the chain.     

Entanglement Transfer via Heisenberg Interaction in a Four-Qubit System

We investigate the entanglement transfer in a four-qubit system and calculate the concurrence between any two qubits in different initial states. We show that both the pure entangled state and mixed entangled state can be transferred. For some special coupling constants and some evolution time, entanglement can be completely transferred from one pair particles to another.     

Thermal Entangled Quantum Refrigerator Working with Three-Qubit Heisenberg XX Model

An entangled quantum refrigerator working with a three-qubit one-dimensional isotropic Heisenberg XX model in a constant external magnetic field is constructed in this paper. Based on the quantum first law of thermodynamics, the expressions for several basic thermodynamic quantities such as the heat transferred, the net work and the coefficient of performance are derived. Moreover, the influence of the thermal entanglement on the basic thermodynamic
quantities is investigated. Several interesting features of the variation of the basic thermodynamic quantities with the thermal entanglement in zero and nonzero magnetic field are obtained.     

Entanglement in Anisotropic Heisenberg XYZ Chain with Inhomogeneous Magnetic Field

The thermal entanglement of a two-qubit anisotropic Heisenberg XYZ chain under an inhomogeneous magnetic field b is studied. It is shown that when inhomogeneity is increased to a certain value, the entanglement can exhibit a larger revival than that of less values of b. The property is both true for zero temperature and a finite temperature. The results also show that the entanglement and threshold temperature can be increased by increasing inhomogeneous external magnetic field.     

Entanglement of a Five-Qubit Heisenberg XX Chain in a Magnetic Field

We calculate the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a five-qubit isotropic Heisenberg model in an external magnetic field, and give analytical results for the concurrence of two nearest-neighbor qubits. A magnetic field can eliminate degeneration and change the ground state of the system. Therefore increasing the value of the magnetic field can induce entanglement in a certain range both for the antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic case.     

Non-Maximal Tripartite Entanglement Degradation of Dirac and Scalar Fields in Non-Inertial Frames

The π-tangle is used to study the behavior of entanglement of a nonmaximal tripartite state of both Dirac and scMar fields in accelerated frame. For Dirac fields, the degree of degradation with acceleration of both one-tangle of accelerated observer and π-tangle, for the same initial entanglement, is different by just interchanging the values of probability amplitudes. A fraction of both one-tangles and the π-tangle always survives for any choice of acceleration and the degree of initial entanglement. For scalar field, the one-tangle of accelerated observer depends on the choice of values of probability amplitudes and it vanishes in the range of infinite acceleration, whereas for 1r-tangle this is not always true. The dependence of π-tangle on probability amplitudes varies with acceleration. In the lower range of acceleration, its behavior changes by switching between the values of probability amplitudes and for larger values of acceleration this dependence on probability amplitudes vanishes. Interestingly, unlike bipartite entanglement, the degradation of π-tangle against acceleration in the case of sca/ar fields is slower than for Dirac fields.
