Entanglement in alternating open spin-1/2 chains with XY-Hamiltonian

Abstract

We investigate entanglement of spin pairs in alternating open spin chains in the equilibrium state in an external magnetic field. We calculate the reduced density matrix of spin pairs and estimate the concurrence with Wootter's criteria. The obtained results demonstrate the dependence of the entanglement on the temperature, chain's length, the positions of the spins, and the ratio of the spin-spin interaction constants.
