Entanglement dynamics in quantum spin chains
We study patterns of temporal evolution, creation and transport, of entanglement in quantum spin chains. The model used is an isotropic Heisenberg chain with periodic boundary conditions, and we obtain in analytic form the time dependence of concurrence and negativity of various pairs of spins in the system. The objective of the present study is to assess the usefulness of various averaged entanglement measures in the characterization of entangling properties of quantum evolutions.
