Phase diagram of one-, two-, and three-dimensional quantum spin systems derived from entanglement properties

We study the bipartite entanglement per bond to determine characteristic features of the phase diagram of various quantum spin models in different spatial dimensions. The bipartite entanglement is obtained from a tensor network representation of the ground state wave-function. Three spin-1/2 models (Ising, XY, XXZ, all in a transverse field) are investigated. Imaginary-time evolution (TEBD in 1D, `simple update' in 2D and 3D) is used to determine the ground states of these models. The phase structure of the models is discussed for all three dimensions.

Numerical studies of entanglement properties in one- and two-dimensional quantum Ising and XXZ models

We investigate entanglement properties of infinite 1D and 2D spin-1/2 quantum Ising and XXZ models. Tensor network methods (MPS in 1D and TERG and CTMRG in 2D) are used to model the ground state of the studied models. Different entanglement measures, such as one-site entanglement entropy, one-tangle, concurrence of formation and assistance, negativity and entanglement per bond are calculated and their `characterizing power' to determine quantum phase transitions is compared. A special emphasis is made on the study of entanglement monogamy properties.
