Relationship between probabilities of the state transfers and entanglements in spin systems with simple geometrical configurations

In this paper we derive analytical relations between probabilities of the excited state transfers and entanglements calculated by both the Wootters and positive partial transpose (PPT) criteria for the arbitrary spin system with single excited spin in the external magnetic field and Hamiltonian commuting with $I_z$. We apply these relations to study the arbitrary state transfers and entanglements in the simple systems of nuclear spins having two- and three-dimensional geometrical configurations with $XXZ$ Hamiltonian. It is shown that High-Probability State Transfers (HPSTs) are possible among all four nodes placed in the corners of the rectangle with the proper ratio of sides as well as among all eight nodes placed in the corners of the parallelepiped with the proper ratio of sides. Entanglements responsible for these HPSTs have been identified.Comment: 27pages, 10 figure

Evolution of spin entanglement and an entanglement witness in multiple-quantum NMR experiments

We investigate the evolution of entanglement in multiple-quantum (MQ) NMR experiments in crystals with pairs of close nuclear spins-1/2. The initial thermodynamic equilibrium state of the system in a strong external magnetic field evolves under the non-secular part of the dipolar Hamiltonian. As a result, MQ coherences of the zeroth and plus/minus second orders appear. A simple condition for the emergence of entanglement is obtained. We show that the measure of the spin pair entanglement, concurrence, coincides qualitatively with the intensity of MQ coherences of the plus/minus second order and hence the entanglement can be studied with MQ NMR methods. We introduce an Entanglement Witness using MQ NMR coherences of the plus/minus second order.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure

Exact results on spin dynamics and multiple quantum dynamics in alternating spin-1/2 chains with XY-Hamiltonian at high temperatures

We extend the picture of a transfer of nuclear spin-1/2 polarization along a homogeneous one-dimensional chain with the XY-Hamiltonian to the inhomogeneous chain with alternating nearest neighbour couplings and alternating Larmor frequencies. To this end, we calculate exactly the spectrum of the spin-1/2 XY-Hamiltonian of the alternating chain with an odd number of sites. The exact spectrum of the XY-Hamiltonian is also applied to study the multiple quantum (MQ) NMR dynamics of the alternating spin-1/2 chain. MQ NMR spectra are shown to have the MQ coherences of zero and $\pm$ second orders just as in the case of a homogeneous chain. The intensities of the MQ coherences are calculated.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figure

Multiple Quantum NMR and Entanglement Dynamics in Dipolar Coupling Spin

We investigate numerically the time dependence of the multiple quantum coherences and entanglement in linear chains up to nine nuclear spins of 1/2 coupled by the dipole-dipole interactions. Two models are considered: (1) a spin chain with nearest-neighbor dipole -dipole interactions; (2) a more realistic model with interactions between all spins. It is shown that the entangled states appear between remote particles which do not interact directly (model 1), while the interaction between all spins (model 2) not always results in entanglement between remote spins.Comment: 14 pages, 3 figures. accepted for publication in Physical Review

Multiple Quantum NMR Dynamics in Dipolar Ordered Spin Systems

We investigate analytically and numerically the Multiple Quantum (MQ) NMR dynamics in systems of nuclear spins 1/2 coupled by the dipole-dipole interactions in the case of the dipolar ordered initial state. We suggest two different methods of MQ NMR. One of them is based on the measurement of the dipolar temperature in the quasi-equilibrium state which establishes after the time of order T2 after the MQ NMR experiment. The other method uses an additional resonance 45^0 -pulse after the preparation period of the standard MQ NMR experiment in solids. Many-spin clusters and correlations are created faster in such experiments than in the usual MQ NMR experiments and can be used for the investigation of many-spin dynamics of nuclear spins in solids.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures. accepted for publication in Physical Review

The multiple quantum NMR dynamics in systems of equivalent spins with the dipolar ordered initial state

The multiple quantum (MQ) NMR dynamics in the system of equivalent spins with the dipolar ordered initial state is considered. The high symmetry of the MQ Hamiltonian is used in order to develop the analytical and numerical methods for an investigation of the MQ NMR dynamics in the systems consisting of hundreds of spins from "the first principles". We obtain the dependence of the intensities of the MQ NMR coherences on their orders (profiles of the MQ NMR coherences) for the systems of $200 - 600$ spins. It is shown that these profiles may be well approximated by the exponential distribution functions. We also compare the MQ NMR dynamics in the systems of equivalent spins having two different initial states, namely the dipolar ordered state and the thermal equilibrium state in the strong external magnetic field.Comment: 11 pages 4 figure

Non-Ergodic Nuclear Depolarization in Nano-Cavities

Recently, it has been observed that the effective dipolar interactions between nuclear spins of spin-carrying molecules of a gas in a closed nano-cavities are independent of the spacing between all spins. We derive exact time-dependent polarization for all spins in spin-1/2 ensemble with spatially independent effective dipolar interactions. If the initial polarization is on a single (first) spin,$P_1(0)= 1$ then the exact spin dynamics of the model is shown to exhibit a periodical short pulses of the polarization of the first spin, the effect being typical of the systems having a large number, $N$, of spins. If $N \gg 1$, then within the period $4\pi/g$ ($2\pi/g$) for odd (even) $N$-spin clusters, with $g$ standing for spin coupling, the polarization of spin 1 switches quickly from unity to the time independent value, 1/3, over the time interval about $(g\sqrt{N})^{-1}$, thus, almost all the time, the spin 1 spends in the time independent condition $P_1(t)= 1/3$. The period and the width of the pulses determine the volume and the form-factor of the ellipsoidal cavity. The formalism is adopted to the case of time varying nano-fluctuations of the volume of the cavitation nano-bubbles. If the volume $V(t)$ is varied by the Gaussian-in-time random noise then the envelope of the polarization peaks goes irreversibly to 1/3. The polarization dynamics of the single spin exhibits the Gaussian (or exponential) time dependence when the correlation time of the fluctuations of the nano-volume is larger (or smaller) than the $<(\delta g)^2 >^{-1/2}$, where the $$ is the variance of the $g(V(t))$ coupling. Finally, we report the exact calculations of the NMR line shape for the $N$-spin gaseous aggregate.Comment: 26 pages, 3 figure

Asymmetry of bipartite quantum discord

It is known from the analysis of the density matrix for bipartite systems that the quantum discord (as a measure of quantum correlations) depends on the particular subsystem chosen for the projective measurements. We study asymmetry of the discord in a simple physical model of two spin-1/2 particles with the dipole-dipole interaction governed by the XY Hamiltonian in the inhomogeneous magnetic field. The dependence of the above discord asymmetry on the Larmour frequencies at both T=0 (the ground state) and $T>0$ has been investigated. It is demonstrated, in particular, that the asymmetry is negligible for high temperatures but it may become significant with the decrease in temperature.Comment: 5 pages 3 figure

Simulations of Quantum Logic Operations in Quantum Computer with Large Number of Qubits

We report the first simulations of the dynamics of quantum logic operations with a large number of qubits (up to 1000). A nuclear spin chain in which selective excitations of spins is provided by the gradient of the external magnetic field is considered. The spins interact with their nearest neighbors. We simulate the quantum control-not (CN) gate implementation for remote qubits which provides the long-distance entanglement. Our approach can be applied to any implementation of quantum logic gates involving a large number of qubits.Comment: 13 pages, 15 figure

Fluctuations of Quantum Entanglement

It is emphasized that quantum entanglement determined in terms of the von Neumann entropy operator is a stochastic quantity and, therefore, can fluctuate. The rms fluctuations of the entanglement entropy of two-qubit systems in both pure and mixed states have been obtained. It has been found that entanglement fluctuations in the maximally entangled states are absent. Regions where the entanglement fluctuations are larger than the entanglement itself (strong fluctuation regions) have been revealed. It has been found that the magnitude of the relative entanglement fluctuations is divergent at the points of the transition of systems from an entangled state to a separable state. It has been shown that entanglement fluctuations vanish in the separable states.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
