$SU(4)$ description of bilayer skyrmion-antiskyrmion pairs

Abstract

The antiferromagnetic coupling and entanglement between skyrmion lattices are treated in magnetic bilayer systems. We first formulate the problem of large bilayer skyrmions using $\mathbb{CP}^{1}\otimes \mathbb{CP}^{1}$ theory. We have considered bilayer skyrmions under the presence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DMI) and Zeeman interactions confined in a two-dimensional chiral magnet such as Fe$_{0.5}$Co$_{0.5}$Si. We parametrize bilayer skyrmions using $SU(4)$ representation, and represent each skyrmion and antiskyrmion using Schmidt decomposition. The reduced density matrices for skyrmion and antiskyrmion has been calculated. The conditions for maximal, partial entanglement and separable bilayer skyrmions are presented. Our results can be used for generating entanglement in systems with large number of spins.
