We study the entanglement between pairs of qubits in a random antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 chain at zero temperature. We show that some very distant pairs of qubits are highly entangled, being almost pure Bell states. Furthermore, the…
We investigate the long-distance asymptotic behavior of the dimer correlations in the spin-1/2 alternating $XY$chain both at T=0 and at sufficiently low-temperatures. The correlations consist of the dimer long-range order part and the…
Chirality in magnetic systems gives rise to a wide range of exotic phenomena, yet its influence in $S=1$ chains remains largely unexplored. Here, we present a comprehensive experimental study of a chiral antiferromagnetic (AFM) $S=1$ chain,…
