Creation and manipulation of entanglement in spin chains far from equilibrium
We investigate creation, manipulation, and steering of entanglement in spin
chains from the viewpoint of quantum communication between distant parties. We
demonstrate how global parametric driving of the spin-spin coupling and/or
local time-dependent Zeeman fields produce a large amount of entanglement
between the first and the last spin of the chain. This occurs whenever the
driving frequency meets a resonance condition, identified as "entanglement
resonance". Our approach marks a promising step towards an efficient quantum
state transfer or teleportation in solid state system. Following the reasoning
of Zueco et al. [1], we propose generation and routing of multipartite
entangled states by use of symmetric tree-like structures of spin chains.
Furthermore, we study the effect of decoherence on the resulting spin
entanglement between the corresponding terminal spins.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figure
