On the quantum correlations in two-qubit XYZ spin chains with Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya and Kaplan-Shekhtman-Entin-Wohlman-Aharony interactions

Abstract: The anisotropic Heisenberg two-spin-1/2 model in an inhomogeneous magnetic field with both antisymmetric Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya and symmetric Kaplan-Shekhtman-Entin-Wohlman-Aharony cross interactions is considered at thermal equilibrium. Using a group-theoretical approach, we find fifteen spin Hamiltonians and as many corresponding Gibbs density matrices (quantum states) whose eigenvalues are expressed only through square radicals. We also found local unitary transformations that connect nine of this fifteen state collection, and one of them is the X quantum state. Since such quantum correlations as quantum entanglement, quantum discord, one-way quantum work deficit, and others are known for the X state, this allows to get the quantum correlations for any member from the nine state family. Further, we show that the remaining six quantum states are separable, that they are also connected by local unitary transformations, but, however, now the case with known correlations beyond entanglement is generally not available.
