Entanglement in One-Dimensional Anderson Model with Long-Range Correlated Disorder

Abstract

By using the measure of concurrence, the entanglement of the ground state in the one-dimensional Anderson model is studied with consideration of the long-range correlations. Three kinds of correlations are discussed. We compare the effects of the long-rang Gaussian and power-law correlations between the site energies on the concurrence, and demonstrate the existence of the band structure of the concurrence in the power-law case. The emergence of the sharp kink on the concurrence curve shown in the intraband or in the interband indicates the position at which the localization extent of the state may have the severe variation. We use the Rudin-Shapiro model to describe the site energy distribution of the nucleotides of the DNA chain: guanine (G), adenine (A), cytosine(C), thymine (T). This model is a tetradic quasiperiodic sequence and is shown to be long-range correlated. Our results show that correlations between the site energies increase the concurrences.
