Transport of Entanglement Through a Heisenberg-XY Spin Chain
The entanglement dynamics of spin chains is investigated using Heisenberg-XY
spin Hamiltonian dynamics. The various measures of two-qubit entanglement are
calculated analytically in the time-evolved state starting from initial states
with no entanglement and exactly one pair of maximally-entangled qubits. The
localizable entanglement between a pair of qubits at the end of chain captures
the essential features of entanglement transport across the chain, and it
displays the difference between an initial state with no entanglement and an
initial state with one pair of maximally-entangled qubits.Comment: 5 Pages. 3 Figure
