Entanglement Witnesses in Spin Models
نویسنده
چکیده
We construct entanglement witnesses using fundamental quantum operators of spin models which contain two-particle interactions and have a certain symmetry. By choosing the Hamiltonian as such an operator, our method can be used for detecting entanglement by energy measurement. We apply this method to the Heisenberg model in a cubic lattice with a magnetic field, the XY model and other familiar spin systems. Our method provides a temperature bound for separable states for systems in thermal equilibrium. We also study the Bose-Hubbard model and relate its energy minimum for separable states to the minimum obtained from the Gutzwiller ansatz.

An Entanglement Study of Superposition of Qutrit Spin-Coherent States
Considering generalized concurrence as the criterion of entanglement, we study entanglement properties of superposition of two qutrit coherent states, as a function of their amplitudes. These states may attain maximum entanglement or no entanglement at all, depending on the choice of the parameters involved. The states revealing maximum entanglement also display the maximum violations of the Be...
متن کاملEntanglement in the XZ spin chain model in the external magnetic field
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 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...
متن کاملSpin squeezing inequalities and entanglement of N qubit states.
We derive spin squeezing inequalities that generalize the concept of the spin squeezing parameter and provide necessary and sufficient conditions for genuine 2-, or 3-qubit entanglement for symmetric states, and sufficient condition for N-qubit states. Our inequalities have a clear physical interpretation as entanglement witnesses, can be easily measured, and are given by complex but elementary...

This paper summarises the results of our research on macroscopic entanglement in spin systems and free Bosonic gases. We explain how entanglement can be observed using entanglement witnesses which are themselves constructed within the framework of thermodynamics and thus macroscopic observables. These thermodynamical entanglement witnesses result in bounds on macroscopic parameters of the syste...
