Entanglement and Bell's inequality violation above room temperature in metal carboxylates
In the present work we show that a special family of materials, the metal
carboxylates, may have entangled states up to very high temperatures. From
magnetic susceptibility measurements, we have estimated the critical
temperature below which entanglement exists in the cooper carboxylate
\{Cu(OCH)\}\{Cu(OCH)(2-methylpyridine)\}, and we have
found this to be above room temperature ( K). Furthermore, the
results show that the system remains maximally entangled until close to K and the Bell's inequality is violated up to nearly room temperature
( K)
Experimental Determination of Thermal Entanglement in Spin Clusters using Magnetic Susceptibility Measurements
The present work reports an experimental observation of thermal entanglement
in a clusterized spin chain formed in the compound NaCuSiO.
The presence of entanglement was investigated through two measured quantities,
an Entanglement Witness and the Entanglement of Formation, both derived from
the magnetic susceptibility. It was found that pairwise entanglement exists
below K. Tripartite entanglement was also observed below K. A theoretical study of entanglement evolution as a function of applied
field and temperature is also presented.Comment: Submited to Phys. Rev.
Environment-induced sudden transition in quantum discord dynamics
Non-classical correlations play a crucial role in the development of quantum
information science. The recent discovery that non-classical correlations can
be present even in separable (unentangled) states has broadened this scenario.
This generalized quantum correlation has been increasing relevance in several
fields, among them quantum communication, quantum computation, quantum phase
transitions, and biological systems. We demonstrate here the occurrence of the
sudden-change phenomenon and immunity against some sources of noise for the
quantum discord and its classical counterpart, in a room temperature nuclear
magnetic resonance setup. The experiment is performed in a decohering
environment causing loss of phase relations among the energy eigenstates and
exchange of energy between system and environment, resulting in relaxation to a
Gibbs ensemble
Newtonian View of General Relativistic Stars
Although general relativistic cosmological solutions, even in the presence of
pressure, can be mimicked by using neo-Newtonian hydrodynamics, it is not clear
whether there exists the same Newtonian correspondence for spherical static
configurations. General relativity solutions for stars are known as the
Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equations. On the other hand, the Newtonian
description does not take into account the total pressure effects and therefore
can not be used in strong field regimes. We discuss how to incorporate pressure
in the stellar equilibrium equations within the neo-Newtonian framework. We
compare the Newtonian, neo-Newtonian and the full relativistic theory by
solving the equilibrium equations for both three approaches and calculating the
mass-radius diagrams for some simple neutron stars equation of state.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures. v2 matches accepted version (EPJC
