The ground state entanglement of the system, both in discrete-time and continuous-time cases, is quantified through the linear entropy. The result shows that the entanglement increases as the interaction between the particles increases in both time scales. It is also found that the strength of the harmonic potential affects the formation rate of the entanglement of the system. The different feature of the entanglement between continuous-time and discrete-time scales is that, for discrete-time entanglement, there is a cut-off condition. This condition implies that the system can never be in a maximally entangled state.
In this comprehensive study of Kitaevs abelian models defined on a graph embedded on a closed orientable surface, we provide complete proofs of the topological ground state degeneracy, the absence of local order parameters, compute the entanglement entropy exactly and characterise the elementary anyonic excitations. The homology and cohomolgy groups of the cell complex play a central role and allow for a rigorous understanding of the relations between the above characterisations of topological order.
We derive explicitly the thermal state of the two coupled harmonic oscillator system when the spring and coupling constants are arbitrarily time-dependent. In particular, we focus on the case of sudden change of frequencies. In this case we compute purity function, R{e}nyi and von Neumann entropies, and mutual information analytically and examine their temperature-dependence. We also discuss on the thermal entanglement phase transition by making use of the negativity-like quantity. Our calculation shows that the critical temperature $T_c$ increases with increasing the difference between the initial and final frequencies. In this way we can protect the entanglement against the external temperature by introducing large difference of initial and final frequencies.
We study a system of qubits that are coupled to each other via only one degree of freedom represented, e.g., by $sigma_z$-operators. We prove that, if by changing the Hamiltonian parameters, a non-degenerate ground state of the system is continuously transformed in such a way that the expectation values of $sigma_z$ operators of at least two coupled qubits change, this ground state is entangled. Using this proof, we discuss connection between energy level anticrossings and ground state entanglement. Following the same line of thought, we introduce entanglement witnesses, based on cross-susceptibilities, that can detect ground state entanglement for any bipartition of the multi-qubit system. A witness for global ground state entanglement is also introduced.
We investigate the entanglement for a model of a particle moving in the lattice (many-body system). The interaction between the particle and the lattice is modelled using Hookes law. The Feynman path integral approach is applied to compute the density matrix of the system. The complexity of the problem is reduced by considering two-body system (bipartite system). The spatial entanglement of ground state is studied using the linear entropy. We find that increasing the confining potential implies a large spatial separation between the two particles. Thus the interaction between the particles increases according to Hookes law. This results in the increase in the spatial entanglement.
Let ${X_n}$ be a stationary and ergodic time series taking values from a finite or countably infinite set ${cal X}$. Assume that the distribution of the process is otherwise unknown. We propose a sequence of stopping times $lambda_n$ along which we will be able to estimate the conditional probability $P(X_{lambda_n+1}=x|X_0,...,X_{lambda_n})$ from data segment $(X_0,...,X_{lambda_n})$ in a pointwise consistent way for a restricted class of stationary and ergodic finite or countably infinite alphabet time series which includes among others all stationary and ergodic finitarily Markovian processes. If the stationary and ergodic process turns out to be finitarily Markovian (among others, all stationary and ergodic Markov chains are included in this class) then $ lim_{nto infty} {nover lambda_n}>0$ almost surely. If the stationary and ergodic process turns out to possess finite entropy rate then $lambda_n$ is upperbounded by a polynomial, eventually almost surely.
