Dynamic generation of entangling wave packets in XY spin system with decaying long range couplings

Abstract

We study the dynamic generation of spin entanglement between two distant sites in an XY model with $1/r^{2}$-decay long range couplings. Due to the linear dispersion relation $\epsilon (k)\sim |k|$ of magnons in such model, we show that a well-located spin state can be dynamically split into two moving entangled local wave packets without changing their shapes. Interestingly, when such two wave packets meet at the diametrically opposite site after the fast period $\tau =\pi $, the initial well-located state can be recurrent completely. Numerical calculation is performed to confirm the analytical result even the ring system of sizes $N$ up to several thousands are considered. The truncation approximation for the coupling strengths is also studied. Numerical simulation shows that the above conclusions still hold even the range of the coupling strength is truncated at a relative shorter scale comparing to the size of the spin system.
