Quantum Correlations in Spin Chains at Finite Temperatures and Quantum Phase Transitions

Quantum Correlations in Spin Chains at Finite Temperatures and Quantum Phase Transitions

We compute the quantum correlation (quantum discord (QD)) and the entanglement (EoF) between nearest neighbor qubits (spin-1/2) in an infinite chain described by the Heisenberg model (XXZ Hamiltonian) at finite temperatures. The chain is in the thermodynamic limit and thermalized with a reservoir at temperature T (canonical ensemble). We show …
