# Thermal entanglement of a coupled electronic spins system: interplay between an external magnetic field, nuclear field and spin–orbit interaction

Thermal entanglement of a coupled electronic spins system: interplay between an external magnetic... We have studied the thermal entanglement as a function of the temperature for a two-qubits Heisenberg spins system; we have included Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction (DM), an external magnetic field (EMF) and hyperfine interaction due to the nuclear field of the surrounding nuclei. A critical value for the EMF was found, around $$B^{(c)}_{\mathrm{ext},z} \sim 39$$ B ext , z ( c ) ∼ 39 mT, which characterizes two regimes of behavior of the thermal entanglement. Our results show that the DM term acts as a facilitator for the entanglement because it prolongs the nonzero thermal entanglement for larger temperatures. We found that the concurrence as a function of the temperature has a local maximum, for values of the magnetic field larger than the critical field. We also show that the critical temperature $$T_\mathrm{c}$$ T c follows a polynomial growth as a function of the DM term, with characteristic behavior $$T_{\mathrm{c}} \sim \beta _{0}^{2}$$ T c ∼ β 0 2 , and the hyperfine field implies a critical temperature as a function of the field variance, $$\sigma$$ σ of the form $$T_{\mathrm{c}} \sim \sigma ^{2}$$ T c ∼ σ 2 . We show that in this system, the entanglement measure by the concurrence and the one-spin polarization observable exhibit opposite behavior, providing a method to obtain the entanglement from the measurement of an observable. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Quantum Information Processing Springer Journals
