Nonequilibrium thermal entanglement for three-spin chain

Quantum Physics 2014-01-13 v1

Abstract

The dynamics of a chain of three spins coupled at both ends to separate bosonic baths at different temperatures is studied. An exact analytical so- lution of the master equation in the Born-Markov approximation for the reduced density matrix of the chain is constructed. It is shown that for long times the reduced density matrix converges to the non-equilibrium steady- state. Dynamical and steady state properties of the concurrence between the first and the last spin are studied.
