Entanglement of electronic subbands and coherent superposition of spin states in a Rashba nanoloop
The present work is concerned with an analysis of the entanglement between the electronic
coherent superpositions of spin states and subbands in a
quasi-one-dimensional Rashba nanoloop acted upon by a strong perpendicular magnetic field.
We explicitly include the confining potential and the Rashba spin-orbit coupling into the
Hamiltonian and then proceed to calculate the von Neumann entropy, a measure of
entanglement, as a function of time. An analysis of the von Neumann entropy demonstrates
that, as expected, the dynamics of entanglement strongly depends upon the initial state
and electronic subband excitations. When the initial state is a pure one formed by a
subband excitation and the z-component of spin states, the entanglement exhibits periodic
oscillations with local minima (dips). On the other hand, when the initial state is formed
by the subband states and a coherent superposition of spin states, the
entanglement still periodically oscillates, exhibiting stronger correlations, along with
elimination of the dips. Moreover, in the long run, the entanglement for the latter case
undergoes the phenomenon of collapse-revivals. This behaviour is absent for the first case
of the initial states. We also show that the degree of entanglement strongly depends upon
the electronic subband excitations in both cases
