Entanglement and Fidelity of a Spin Ladder with Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya Interaction

The spin ladder with Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction is investigated by using the quantum renormalization-group method. The entanglement and fidelity are periodic functions of the time and oscillate between zero and one. The oscillation period decreases with either the interaction in the spin ladder or the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction increasing. When the system relates to the environment, both entanglement and fidelity oscillate with a damping rate related to intrinsic decoherence rate, the interaction in the spin ladder, and the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction.
