Entanglement Dynamics between Ising Spins and a Central Ancilla

Abstract

We investigate competing entanglement dynamics in an open Ising-spin chain coupled to an external central ancilla qudit. In studying the real-time behavior following a quench from an unentangled spin-ancilla state, we find that the ancilla entanglement entropy $S_{vN;\mathcal{A}}$ tracks the dynamical phase transition in the underlying spin system. In this composite setting, purely spin-spin entanglement metrics such as mutual information and quantum Fisher information (QFI) decay as the ancilla entanglement entropy grows. We define multipartite entanglement loss (MEL) as the difference between collective magnetic fluctuations and QFI, which is zero in the pure spin chain limit. MEL directly quantifies the ancilla's effect on the development of spin-spin entanglement. One of our central results is that $MEL(t)\propto e^{S_{vN;\mathcal{A}}(t)}$. Our results provide a platform for exploring composite system entanglement dynamics and suggest that MEL serves as a quantitative estimate of information entropy shared between collective spins and the ancilla qudit. Our results present a new framework that connects physical spin-fluctuations, QFI, and bipartite entanglement entropy between collective quantum systems.
