Two-spin and multi-spin quantum entanglement in V12 polyoxovanadate molecular nanomagnet

Abstract

The paper reports a computational study of the quantum entanglement in V12 cluster molecular magnet. The low-temperature properties of the system are modelled with anisotropic quantum Heisenberg model on a tetramer of spins $S=1/2$ in the external magnetic field. The two-spin entanglement is quantified using the concurrence, whereas the fidelity serves as a measure of four-spin entanglement. The analytic and numerical results are derived and discussed, emphasizing the importance of real-space and spin-space interaction anisotropy and the role of quantum level crossings in the entanglement description in V12.
