Quantum coherence of planar spin models with Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction
Abstract
The quantum coherence of one dimensional planar spin models with the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction is investigated. The anisotropic XY model, the isotropic XX model and the transverse field model are studied in the large N-limit using the two qubit reduced density matrices and the two point correlation functions. From our investigations we find that the coherence as measured using the Jensen-Shannon divergence can be used to detect the quantum phase transitions and the quantum critical points. The derivative of coherence shows non-analytic behavior at the critical points leading to the conclusions that these transitions are of second order. Further we show that the presence of the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya coupling suppresses the phase transition due to the residual ferromagnetism which is caused by spin canting.
