The entanglement dynamics of interacting qubits embedded in a spin environment with Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya term
We investigate the entanglement dynamics of two interacting qubits in a spin
environment, which is described by an XY model with Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya (DM)
interaction. The competing effects of environmental noise and interqubit
coupling on entanglement generation for various system parameters are studied.
We find that the entanglement generation is suppressed remarkably in
weak-coupling region at quantum critical point (QCP). However, the suppression
of the entanglement generation at QCP can be compensated both by increasing the
DM interaction and by decreasing the anisotropy of the spin chain. Beyond the
weak-coupling region, there exist resonance peaks of concurrence when the
system-bath coupling equals to external magnetic field. We attribute the
presence of resonance peaks to the flat band of the self-Hamiltonian. These
peaks are highly sensitive to anisotropy parameter and DM interaction.Comment: 8 pages, 9 figure

The main idea is to express the anisotropic diffusion equation as coming from a certain optimization problem, so its behavior can be analyzed based on the shape of the corresponding energy surface. We show that anisotropic diffusion is the steepest descent method for solving an energy minimization problem. It is demonstrated that an anisotropic diffusion is well posed when there exists a unique global minimum for the energy functional and that the ill posedness of a certain anisotropic diffusion is caused by the fact that its energy functional has an infinite number of global minima that are dense in the image space. We give a sufficient condition for an anisotropic diffusion to be well posed and a sufficient and necessary condition for it to be ill posed due to the dense global minima. The mechanism of smoothing and edge enhancement of anisotropic diffusion is illustrated through a particular orthogonal decomposition of the diffusion operator into two parts: one that diffuses tangentially to the edges and therefore acts as an anisotropic smoothing operator, and the other that flows normally to the edges and thus acts as an enhancement operator
