Entanglement Entropy in an Antiferromagnetic Heisenberg Spin Chain with Boundary Impurities
Abstract
The effects of boundary impurities on the entanglement entropy in an antiferromagnetic Heisenberg opened spin-1/2 chain are investigated. The method of density-matrix renormalization-group is used to obtain the bipartite entanglement. The entropy increases when the length of the subsystem increases. It will approach to a constant when system length is very large. With the same impurity interaction, qutrit impurities of spin-1 can increase the entanglement entropy.
