Quantum Superposition and Entanglement in Spin-Glass Systems
Abstract
We propose that spin glasses can exist in equally probable superposition states (SSs) comprising potential configurations. Employing the Edward-Anderson (EA) order parameter and magnetization, we establish a classification scheme for these SSs based on their contribution to discerning magnetic order (disorder), such as SG, ferromagnetic (FM), and paramagnetic (PM) phases. We also encompass various system sizes and investigate the entanglement properties of these phase-dependent SSs using the negativity measure. Our analysis reveals that the SG order parameter can be employed to determine the entanglement characteristics of magnetically ordered (disordered) phases, and vice versa, with negativity indicating the presence of magnetic order. Specifically, we examine the relationship between negativity and susceptibility in spin-glass systems. Our findings provide further insight into the role of quantum superposition in spin glasses and quantum magnets.
