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.

This Article investigates dissipative preparation of entangled non-equilibrium steady states (NESS). We construct a collision model where the open system consists of two qubits which are coupled to heat reservoirs with different temperatures. The bat hs are modeled by sequences of qubits interacting with the open system. The model can be studied in different dynamical regimes: with and without environmental memory effects. We report that only a certain bath temperature range allows for entangled NESS. Furthermore, we obtain minimal and maximal critical values for the heat current through the system. Surprisingly, quantum memory effects play a crucial role in the long time limit. First, memory effects broaden the parameter region where quantum correlated NESS may be dissipatively prepared and, secondly, they increase the attainable concurrence. Most remarkably, we find a heat current range that does not only allow but guarantees that the NESS is entangled. Thus, the heat current can witness entanglement of non-equilibrium steady states.
Entanglement in quantum XY spin chains of arbitrary length is investigated via a recently-developed global measure suitable for generic quantum many-body systems. The entanglement surface is determined over the phase diagram, and found to exhibit str ucture richer than expected. Near the critical line, the entanglement is peaked (albeit analytically), consistent with the notion that entanglement--the non-factorization of wave functions--reflects quantum correlations. Singularity does, however, accompany the critical line, as revealed by the divergence of the field-derivative of the entanglement along the line. The form of this singularity is dictated by the universality class controlling the quantum phase transition.
We study the creation and distribution of entanglement in disordered $XY$-type spin-$1/2$ chains for the paradigmatic case of a single flipped spin prepared on a fully polarized background. The local magnetic field is set to follow a disordered long- range-correlated sequence with power-law spectrum. Depending on the degree of correlations of the disorder, a set of extended modes emerge in the middle of the band yielding an interplay between localization and delocalization. As a consequence, a rich variety of entanglement distribution patterns arises, which we evaluate here through the concurrence between two spins. We show that, even in the presence of disorder, the entanglement wave can be pushed to spread out reaching distant sites and also enhance pairwise entanglement between the initial site and the rest of the chain. We also study the propagation of an initial maximally-entangled state through the chain and show that correlated disorder improves the transmission quite significantly when compared with the uncorrelated counterpart. Our work contributes in designing solid-state devices for quantum information processing in the realistic setting of correlated static disorder.
Isotropic XX models of one-dimensional spin-1/2 chains are investigated with the aim to elucidate the formal structure and the physical properties that allow these systems to act as channels for long-distance, high-fidelity quantum teleportation. We introduce two types of models: I) open, dimerized XX chains, and II) open XX chains with small end bonds. For both models we obtain the exact expressions for the end-to-end correlations and the scaling of the energy gap with the length of the chain. We determine the end-to-end concurrence and show that model I) supports true long-distance entanglement at zero temperature, while model II) supports {it ``quasi long-distance} entanglement that slowly falls off with the size of the chain. Due to the different scalings of the gaps, respectively exponential for model I) and algebraic in model II), we demonstrate that the latter allows for efficient qubit teleportation with high fidelity in sufficiently long chains even at moderately low temperatures.
