Entanglement Spectra of Heisenberg Ladders of higher Spin
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the entanglement spectrum of Heisenberg spin ladders of arbitrary spin length S in the perturbative regime of strong rung coupling. For isotropic spin coupling the the entanglement spectrum is, within first order perturbation theory, always proportional to the energy spectrum of the single chain with a proportionality factor being also independent of S. A more complicated situation arises for anisotropic ladders of higher spin S ≥ 1 since here even the unperturbed ground state has a nontrivial entanglement spectrum. Finally we discuss related issues in dimerized spin chains.

Characterizing Genuine Multipartite Entanglement in 2D Quantum Spin Lattices
We formulate an efficient method for characterizing and quantifying genuine multipartite entanglement in two-dimensional (2D) Heisenberg spin systems where the ground state is a large superposition obtained from nearest-neighbor dimer coverings on spin-1/2 lattices, the resonating valence bond (RVB) state. We find an analytical iterative method, the density matrix recursion method, to generate ...
متن کاملEntanglement spectra of quantum Heisenberg ladders.
Bipartite entanglement measures are surprisingly useful tools to investigate quantum phases of correlated electrons. Here, I analyze the entanglement spectrum of gapped two-leg quantum Heisenberg ladders on a periodic ribbon partitioned into two identical periodic chains. The entanglement spectrum closely reflects the low-energy gapless spectrum of each individual edge. This extends the conject...

We investigate the magnetic properties of the Cu-O planes in stoichiometric Srn−1Cun+1O2n (n=3,5,7,...) which consist of CuO double chains periodically intergrown within the CuO2 planes. The double chains break up the two-dimensional antiferromagnetic planes into Heisenberg spin ladders with nr = 1 2 (n − 1) rungs and nl = 12 (n + 1) legs and described by the usual antiferromagnetic coupling J ...
متن کاملValence bond and von Neumann entanglement entropy in Heisenberg ladders.
We present a direct comparison of the recently proposed valence bond entanglement entropy and the von Neumann entanglement entropy on spin-1/2 Heisenberg systems using quantum Monte Carlo and density-matrix renormalization group simulations. For one-dimensional chains we show that the valence bond entropy can be either less or greater than the von Neumann entropy; hence, it cannot provide a bou...
