Macroscopic thermal entanglement in a spin chain caused by the magnetic field: Inhomogeneity effect

Анотація

The influence of the inhomogeneity on the macroscopic thermal pairwise entanglement for the system of coupled spins 1/2 (qubits) has been studied. The most important effect of the inhomogeneity on the thermal entanglement is in the new role of the external potential (magnetic field), which can produce nonzero entanglement for qubits, situated not far from the inhomogeneity.
