Entanglement of disjoint blocks in the one dimensional Spin 1 VBS
Abstract
Starting with the valence bond solid (VBS) ground state of the 1D AKLT Hamiltonian, we make a partition of the system in 2 subsystems and , where is a block of consecutive spins and is it's complement. In that setting we compute the partial transpose density matrix with respect to , . We obtain the spectrum of the transposed density matrix of the VBS pure system. Subsequently we define two disjoint blocks, and containing and spins respectively, separated by sites. Tracing away the spins which do not belong to , we find an expression for the reduced density matrix of the and blocks . With this expression (in the thermodynamic limit), we compute the entanglement spectrum and other several entanglement measures, as the purity , the negativity , and the mutual entropy.
