We study the dynamics of entanglement in the extended cluster spin-1/2 XX chain, equivalent to a 1D spin-1/2 XX model with three-spin interaction (TSI). Selecting the nearest neighbor pair spins as an open quantum system, the rest of the chain plays the role of environment. The two-spin Heisenberg and the TSI interaction are responsible for coupling between system and environment. We show the existence of a critical value in the TSI, where the dynamics of concurrence changes from Markovian to the non-Markovian. In the region with the non-Markovian dynamics, entanglement sudden death in the system is observed. By focusing on the nearest neighbor pair spins of the environment, we have showed that the dynamics of entanglement in the environment is sensitive to the Markovian and non-Markovian regions.

Abstract.We have studied occurrence of quantum phase transition in the one-dimensional spin-1/2 Ising model with added Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya (DM) interaction from bipartite and multi-partite entanglement point of view. Using exact numerical solutions, we are able to study such systems up to 24 qubits. The minimum of the entanglement ratio R ≡ τ 2 /τ 1 < 1, as a novel estimator of QPT, has been used to detect QPT and our calculations have shown that its minimum took place at the critical point. We have also shown both the global-entanglement (GE) and multipartite entanglement (ME) are maximal at the critical point for the Ising chain with added DM interaction. Using matrix product state approach, we have calculated the tangle and concurrence of the model and it is able to capture and confirm our numerical experiment result. Lack of inversion symmetry in the presence of DM interaction stimulated us to study entanglement of three qubits in symmetric and antisymmetric way which brings some surprising results.

We study the 1D ferromagnetic Ising (spin-1/2) model with the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction. We analyze the low energy excitation spectrum and the ground state magnetic phase diagram using the Lanczos method. The DM interaction-dependency is calculated for the low-energy excitation spectrum, spiral order parameter and spin-spin correlation functions. We show that a metamagnetic quantum phase transition occurs between the ferromagnetic and spiral phases. The existence of the metamagnetic phase transition is confirmed, using the variational matrix product states approach.

We have considered the 1D spin-1/2 Ising model with added Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction and presence of a uniform magnetic field. Using the mean-field fermionization approach the energy spectrum in an infinite chain is obtained. The quantum discord (QD) and concurrence between nearest neighbor (NN) spins at finite temperature are specified as a function of mean-field order parameters. A comparison between concurrence and QD is done and differences are obtained. The macroscopic thermodynamical witness is also used to detect quantum entanglement region in solids within our model. We believe our results are useful in the field of the quantum information processing.

We have investigated the ground state phase diagram of the 1D AF spin-1 2 Heisenberg model with the staggered Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction in an external uniform magnetic field H. We have used the exact diagonalization technique. In the absence of the uniform magnetic field (H = 0), we have shown that the DM interaction induces a staggered chiral phase. The staggered chiral phase remains stable even in the presence of the uniform magnetic field. We have identified that the ground state phase diagram consists of four Luttinger liquid, staggered chiral, spin-flop, and ferromagnetic phases.
