A quantum Monte Carlo study of the localizable entanglement in anisotropic ferromagnetic Heisenberg chains Original Research Article

We study the localizable entanglement in large one-dimensional anisotropic XYZ ferromagnetic Heisenberg chains interacting with a uniform magnetic field. With the use of quantum Monte Carlo simulations we calculate the bounds of localizable entanglement by means of the correlation functions. The present quantum Monte Carlo method has the advantage over existing methods that it can be readily applied to fully anisotropic magnetic chains.
