Abstract
We examine the dynamics of nearest-neighbor bipartite concurrence and total correlations in the spin-1/2 XXZ model with random fields. We show, starting from factorized random initial states, that the concurrence can suffer entanglement sudden death in the long time limit and therefore may not be a useful indicator of the properties of the system. In contrast, we show that the total correlations capture the dynamics more succinctly, and further reveal a fundamental difference in the…

We are able to detect clear signatures of dephasing -- a distinct trait of Many-Body Localisation (MBL) -- via the dynamics of two-sites entanglement, quantified through the concurrence. Using the…
Quantum Mutual Information as a Probe for Many-Body Localization.

It is demonstrated that the quantum mutual information (QMI) is a useful probe to study many-body localization (MBL) and how the QMI can be used as a dynamical indicator to distinguish an Anderson insulator phase from a MBL phase.

Scaling of entanglement close to a quantum phase transition
- PhysicsNature
- 2002
It is demonstrated, for a class of one-dimensional magnetic systems, that entanglement shows scaling behaviour in the vicinity of the transition point, which connects the theory of critical phenomena with quantum information by exploring the entangling resources of a system close to its quantum critical point.
