Effects of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction on thermal entanglement and teleportation via a two-qubit Heisenberg XXZ spin chain under external magnetic field

This paper mainly investigates the effects of different Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) anisotropic antisymmetric interactions on thermal entanglement and teleportation of one-qubit state in both the standard and non-standard protocols as well as the partial teleportation of an entangled state via a two-qubit Heisenberg XXZ spin chain in the presence of external magnetic fields. The dependency of the thermal entanglement and average fidelity on various system parameters is analyzed. The interplay of the different parameters on the teleportation is discussed. The DM interaction is found to be effective for the thermal entanglement in the spin chain both with and without external magnetic fields. However, it turned out to be destructive for the teleportation in the standard protocol, whereas is found constructive for single qubit teleportation when the spin chain with the z-direction parameters is used as the channel in the non-standard protocol. Moreover, the results show that, for teleporting one-qubit state, the antiferromagnetic (AFM) chain is the only qualified candidate in the standard protocol, while both the AFM and ferromagnetic (FM) chains with the parameters along the z-axis are all suitable in the non-standard protocol when the parameters are chosen appropriately. For the partial teleportation of entanglement, both the AFM and FM chains are eligible as long as the appropriate combinations of parameters are chosen. In addition, the comparison of the effects of the same, fixed x- and z-component parameters of the DM interaction (D-x and D-z) on teleportation is presented. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.
