Entanglement dynamics in the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model

The dynamics of the one-tangle and the concurrence is analyzed in the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model which describes many physical systems such as the two-mode Bose-Einstein condensates. We consider two different initial states which are physically relevant and show that their entanglement dynamics are very different. A semiclassical analysis is used to compute the one-tangle which measures the entanglement of one spin with all the others, whereas the frozen-spin approximation allows us to compute the concurrence using its mapping onto the spin squeezing parameter.Comment: 11 pages, 11 EPS figures, published versio

Classical diffusion of N interacting particles in one dimension: General results and asymptotic laws

I consider the coupled one-dimensional diffusion of a cluster of N classical particles with contact repulsion. General expressions are given for the probability distributions, allowing to obtain the transport coefficients. In the limit of large N, and within a gaussian approximation, the diffusion constant is found to behave as N^{-1} for the central particle and as (\ln N)^{-1} for the edge ones. Absolute correlations between the edge particles increase as (\ln N)^{2}. The asymptotic one-body distribution is obtained and discussed in relation of the statistics of extreme events.Comment: 6 pages, 2 eps figure
