Abstract

We study maximal bipartite entanglement in valence-bond states and show that the average bipartite entanglement Ev2E_v^2, between a sub-system of two spins and the rest of the system, can be maximized through a homogenized superposition of the valence-bond states. Our derived maximal Ev2E_v^2 rapidly increases with system size and saturates at its maximum allowed value. We also demonstrate that our maximal Ev2E^2_v states are ground states of an infinite range Heisenberg model (IRHM) and represent a new class of resonating-valence-bond (RVB) states. The entangled RVB states produced from our IRHM are robust against interaction of spins with both local and global phonons and represent a new class of decoherence free states.
