Abstract

The thermal entanglement of the Hubbard dimer (two-site Hubbard model) has been studied with the nonextensive statistics. We have calculated the auto-correlation (OqO_q), pair correlation (LqL_q), concurrence (Γq\Gamma_q) and conditional entropy (RqR_q) as functions of entropic index qq and the temperature TT. The thermal entanglement is shown to considerably depend on the entropic index. For q<1.0q < 1.0, the threshold temperature where Γq\Gamma_q vanishes or RqR_q changes its sign is more increased and the entanglement may survive at higher temperatures than for q=1.0q=1.0. Relations among LqL_q, Γq\Gamma_q and RqR_q are investigated. The physical meaning of the entropic index qq is discussed with the microcanonical and superstatistical approaches. The nonextensive statistics is applied also to Heisenberg dimers.
