Entanglement and off-diagonal long-range order of an {eta}-pairing state

Abstract

Off-diagonal long-range order (ODLRO) which is believed to be one characteristic of superconductivity is a quantum phenomenon not describable in classical mechanical terms. The quantum state constructed by {eta}-pairing demonstrates ODLRO. Entanglement is a key concept of the quantum information processing and has no classical counterpart. We study the entanglement property of the {eta}-pairing quantum state by concurrence and entropy which are two measures of the entanglement. We show that the concurrence of entanglement between one-site and the rest sites is exactly the correlation function of the ODLRO for the {eta}-pairing state in the thermodynamic limit. So, when the {eta}-pairing state is entangled, it demonstrates ODLRO and is thus in the superconducting phase, if it is a separable state, there is no ODLRO. In the thermodynamical limit, the entanglement between the M-site and other sites of the {eta}-pairing state does not vanish. Other types of ODLRO of the {eta}-pairing state are presented. We show that the behaviour of the ODLRO correlation functions is equivalent to that of the entanglement of the {eta}-pairing state. The scaling of the entropy of the entanglement for the {eta}-pairing state is studied.
