چکیده

We investigate macroscopic entanglement in an infinite XX spin1 2 chain with staggered magnetic field, Bl = B + e −iπl b. Using single-site entropy and by constructing an entanglement witness, we search for the existence of entanglement when the system is at absolute zero, as well as in thermal equilibrium. Although the role of the alternating magnetic field b is, in general, to suppress entanglement as do B and T , we find that when T = 0, introducing b allows the existence of entanglement even when the uniform magnetic field B is arbitrarily large. We find that the region and the amount of entanglement in the spin chain can be enhanced by a staggered magnetic field.

Entanglement 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...

New fingerprint of the entanglement on the thermodynamic properties

The realization that entanglement can affect macroscopic properties of bulk solid-state systems is a challenge in physics and Chemistry. Theoretical physicists often are considered the entanglement between nearest-neighbor (NN) spins and tried to find its characterizations in terms of macroscopic thermodynamics observables as magnetization and specific heat. Here, we focus on the entanglement b...

Macroscopic entanglement between a Bose Einstein condensate and a superconducting loop.

We theoretically study macroscopic entanglement between a magnetically trapped Bose-Einstein condensate and a superconducting loop. We treat the superconducting loop in a quantum superposition of two different flux states coupling with the magnetic trap to generate macroscopic entanglement. The scheme also provides a platform to investigate interferometry with an entangled Bose Einstein condens...

Witnessing Entanglement with Second-Order Interference and Stokes Parameters

We propose to use Stokes parameter as an entanglement witness for correlated EPR mixed states of light. Such states can be generated with a beam splitter acting on two mixed squeezed states of light. Stokes witness operators are closely related to the Hanbury-Brown and Twiss interference and can be used to test entanglement in balanced homodyne experiments involving fluctuations of quantum quad...
