Can a finite range Hamiltonian mimic quantum correlation of a long-range Hamiltonian?

Abstract

The quantum long-range extended Ising model possesses several striking features which cannot be observed in the corresponding short-range model. We report that the pattern obtained from the entanglement between any two arbitrary sites of the long-range model can be mimicked by the model having a finite range of interactions provided the interaction strength is moderate. On the other hand, we illustrate that when the interactions are strong, entanglement distribution in the long-range model does not match with the class of a few-range interacting model. We also show that the monogamy score of entanglement is in a good agreement with the behavior of pairwise entanglement. Specifically, it saturates when the entanglement in the finite-range Hamiltonian behaves similarly with the long-range model while it decays algebraically otherwise.
