Abstract
We consider an Ising-type model of six interacting spins in a closed circular configuration. We discuss two scenarios in which the system is initially in either an entangled or a product state. In the first scenario, we analyze how entanglement is transferred among pairs of spins and how the coupling strength affects such a transfer. In the second scenario, we demonstrate that the creation of a strongly entangled state depends on the coupling parameters. We demonstrate that careful selection of the coupling strength can increase the degree of entanglement generated in the system, as measured by negativity, and control which spin pair becomes strongly entangled. Additionally, the relationship between linear entropy—a measure of mixedness—and negativity, a measure of entanglement, is discussed.
