Influence of Topological Phase Transition on Entanglement in the Spin-1 Antiferromagnetic XX Model in Two Dimensions

Abstract

In this paper, we study the von Neumann entanglement entropy as a measure of the quantum entanglement in the spin-1 two-dimensional XX model with single-ion anisotropy. We use the bond operator formalism and consider the range of large anisotropy D and in the neighborhood of the critical point $$D_\mathrm{c}$$ . One discusses the influence of the Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless phase transition (BKT) that occurs at critical anisotropy point $$D_\mathrm{c}$$ , or the transition of the topological order of vortices and disordered phase on quantum entanglement.
