Entanglement dynamics in the spin-1/2 XX chain with uniform Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction revisited

We revisited the effectiveness of state and entanglement transmission through a spin-chain-based quantum channel while altering the system parameters and the channel’s initial state. Our research is focused on the spin-1/2 XX chain with Dzyaloshinski-Moriya (DM) interaction and the aim is to measure entanglement dynamics between different part of the chain. The speed of entanglement propagation is utilized to probe the evolution of the system via three scenarios: (i) pure Heisenberg interaction, (ii) pure DM interaction, and (iii) collaboration of both types of couplings. To accomplish this, we employ the fermionization approach to obtain an exact solution to the problem. Aside from investigating the influence of magnetic interaction type on entanglement transfer, the effect of selecting the initial state has also been studied. As a result, we discovered that the phase factor (φ) regulating the system’s initial state induces sharp drops in the propagation speed of entanglement. In addition, the fastest transmission occurs at a special value of φ in which the highest amount of entanglement reaches the system’s different pairs. On the other hand, we observe a continuous and flat range of φ in which the least amount of entanglement is transmitted and for them we have a sharp drop in the speed profile.
