Dipole–dipole-interaction-induced entanglement between two-dimensional ferromagnets

Abstract

We investigate the viability of dipole–dipole interaction as a means of entangling two distant ferromagnets. To this end, we make use of the Bogoliubov transformation as a symplectic transformation. We show that the coupling of the uniform magnon modes can be expressed using four squeezing parameters, which we interpret in terms of hybridization, one-mode, and two-mode squeezing. We utilize the expansion in terms of the squeezing parameters to obtain an analytic formula for the entanglement in the magnon ground state using the logarithmic negativity as entanglement measure. Our investigation predicts that for infinitely large two-dimensional ferromagnets, the dipole–dipole interaction does not lead to significant long-range entanglement. However, in the case of finite ferromagnets, finite entanglement can be expected.
