Floquet dynamical quantum phase transitions in transverse XY spin chains under periodic kickings

Floquet dynamical quantum phase transitions(DQPTs),which are nonanalytic phenomena recuring periodically in time-periodic driven quantum many-body systems,have been widely studied in recent years.In this article,the Floquet DQPTs in transverse XY spin chains under the modulation ofδ-function periodic kickings are investigated.We analytically solve the system,and by considering the eigenstate as well as the ground state as the initial state of the Floquet dynamics,we study the corresponding multiple Floquet DQPTs emerged in the micromotion with different kicking moments.The rate function of return amplitude,the Pancharatnam geometric phase and the dynamical topological order parameter are calculated,which consistently verify the emergence of Floquet DQPTs in the system.

Quantum correlations dynamics of three-qubit states coupled to an XY spin chain: Role of coupling strengths

We investigate the prominent impacts of coupling strengths on the evolution of entanglement and quantum discord for a three-qubit system coupled to an XY spin-chain environment. In the case of a pure W state, more robust, even larger nonzero quantum correlations can be obtained by tailoring the coupling strengths between the qubits and the environment. For a mixed state consisting of the GHZ and W states, the dynamics of entanglement and quantum discord can characterize the critical point of quantum phase transition. Remarkably, a large nonzero quantum discord is generally retained, while the nonzero entanglement can only be obtained as the system-environment coupling satisfies certain conditions. We also find that the impact of each qubit＇s coupling strength on the quantum correlation dynamics strongly depends on the variation schemes of the system-environment couplings.

Dyson–Maleev theory of an X X Z ferrimagnetic spin chain with single-ion anisotropy

We use the mean-field approximation of Dyson–Maleev representation to study an XXZ Heisenberg ferrimagnetic spin chain with single-ion anisotropy. By solving the self-consistent equations with different anisotropies, λ and D respectively,the energy spectrums, internal energy, static susceptibility and specific heat are calculated. Especially, the quantum phase transition of the magnetization plateau induced by single-ion anisotropy D is obtained in the model of the ferrimagnetic spin chain by using Dyson–Maleev mean-field theory.

Teleportation and thermal entanglement in two-qubit Heisenberg X Y Z spin chain with the Dzyaloshinski-Moriya interaction and the inhomogeneous magnetic field

This paper studies the average fidelity of teleportation and thermal entanglement for a two-qubit Heisenberg XYZ chain in the presence of both an inhomogeneous magnetic field and a Dzyaloshinski-Moriya interaction. It shows that for a fixed Dz, the increase of bz will broaden the critical temperature at the cost of decreasing the thermal entanglement. And it can modulate the inhomogeneous magnetic field and the Dzyaloshinski-Moriya interaction for the average fidelity of teleportation to be optimal.

Entanglement and quantum phase transition in alternating XY spin chain with next-nearest neighbouring interactions

By using the method of density-matrix renormalization-group to solve the different spin spin correlation functions, the nearest-neighbouring entanglement （NNE） and the next-nearest-neighbouring entanglement （NNNE） of one-dimensional alternating Heisenberg XY spin chain are investigated in the presence of alternating the-nearestneighbouring interaction of exchange couplings, external magnetic fields and the next-nearest neighbouring interaction. For a dimerised ferromagnetic spin chain, the NNNE appears only above a critical dimerized interaction, meanwhile, the dimerized interaction a effects a quantum phase transition point and improves the NNNE to a large extent. We also study the effect of ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic next-nearest neighbouring （NNN） interaction on the dynamics of NNE and NNNE. The ferromagnetic NNN interaction increases and shrinks the NNE below and above a critical frustrated interaction respectively, while the antiferromagnetic NNN interaction always reduces the NNE. The antiferromagnetic NNN interaction results in a large value of NNNE compared with the case where the NNN interaction is ferromagnetic.

Scaling of entanglement entropy for spin chain with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction

Entanglement control in one-dimensional s=1/2 random XY spin chain

The entanglement in one-dimensional random XY spin systems where the impurities of exchange couplings and the external magnetic fields are considered as random variables is investigated by solving the different spin-spin correlation functions and the average magnetization per spin. The entanglement dynamics near particular locations of the system is also studied when the exchange couplings （or the external magnetic fields） satisfy three different distributions （the Gaussian distribution, double-Gaussian distribution, and bimodal distribution）. We find that the entanglement can be controlled by varying the strength of external magnetic field and the distributions of impurities. Moreover, the entanglement of some nearest-neighbouring qubits can be increased for certain parameter values of the three different distributions.

Exact solutions of an Ising spin chain with a spin-1 impurity

An exact solution of a single impurity model is hard to derive since it breaks translation invariance symmetry. We present the exact solution of the spin-1/2 transverse Ising chain imbedded by a spin-1 impurity. Using the hole decompo- sition scheme, we exactly solve the spin-1 impurity in two subspaces which are generated by a conserved hole operator. The impurity enlarges the energy deformation of the ground state above a pure transverse Ising system without impurity. The specific heat coefficient shows a small anomaly at low temperature for finite size. This indicates that the impurity can tune the ground state from a magnetic impurity space to a non-magnetic impurity space, which only exists for spin-1 impurity comparing with spin-1/2 impurity and a pure transverse Ising chain without impurity. These behaviors essentially come from adding impurity freedom, which induces a competition between hole and fermion excitation depending on the coupling strength with its neighbor and the single-ion anisotropy.

Enhancement of next-nearest-neighbouring entanglement in quantum Ising spin chain

Using the method of the Jordan-Wigner transformation for solving different spin-spin correlation functions, we have investigated the generation of next-nearest-neighbouring entanglement in a one-dimensional quantum Ising spin chain with the Gaussian distribution impurities of exchange couplings and external magnetic fields taken into account. The maximal value of entanglement between the next-nearest-neighbouring qubits in the transverse Ising model was analysed in detail by varying the effectively controlled parameters such as interchange coupling, magnetic field and the system impurity. For such systems, where both exchange couplings and external magnetic field disorder appear, we show that it is possible to achieve next-nearest-neighbouring entanglement better than the previously discussed pure Ising spin chain case. We also show that the Gaussian distribution impurity can induce next-nearest-neighbouring entanglement, which can be used as a means to characterize quantum phase transition.

Exact solution of an integrable quantum spin chain with competing interactions

We construct an integrable quantum spin chain that includes the nearest-neighbor,next-nearest-neighbor,chiral threespin couplings,Dzyloshinsky–Moriya interactions and unparallel boundary magnetic fields.Although the interactions in bulk materials are isotropic,the spins nearby the boundary fields are polarized,which induce the anisotropic exchanging interactions of the first and last bonds.The U(1)symmetry of the system is broken because of the off-diagonal boundary reflections.Using the off-diagonal Bethe ansatz,we obtain an exact solution to the system.The inhomogeneous T–Q relation and Bethe ansatz equations are given explicitly.We also calculate the ground state energy.The method given in this paper provides a general way to construct new integrable models with certain interesting interactions.

Macroscopic inequivalent entanglement witness in Heisenberg spin chain

Motivated by the wise idea of entanglement witness （EW）, we present an inequivalent entanglement witness （IEEW） that can analogously classify certain eigenstates entangled in inequivalent ways under stochastic local operations and classical communication （SLOCC） in the Heisenberg spin chain. Since the IEEW is the absolute value of magnetization （M） that is a macroscopically measurable quantity, our conclusions provide a macroscopic method to detect inequivalent entanglement between microscopic spins, on the one hand, and clearly show that inequivalent entanglement can yield different macroscopic effects, on the other hand.

Induced modification of the geometric phase of a qubit coupled to an XY spin chain by Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction

We consider a qubit symmetrically and transversely coupled to an XY spin chain with Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya（DM） interaction in the presence of a transverse magnetic field.An analytical expression for the geometric phase of the qubit is obtained in the weak coupling limit.We find that the modification of the geometrical phase induced by the spin chain environment is greatly enhanced by DM interaction in the weak coupling limit around the quantum phase transition point of the spin chain.

Entanglement Resonance of End Spins in Different Spin Chains

The entanglement resonance in anisotropic spin-1/2 Heisenberg chains of different couplings is investigated when the nearest neighbor coupling is periodically modulated with external magnetic held. When the modulation frequency equals twice of the magnetic held, the entanglement resonance is larger than that at other modulation frequencies and decreases as the number of spins in the chain increases. When the modulation frequency equals the magnetic held, the entanglement resonance can be reduced to a quite low value by varying the couph'ng along z axis.
