Quantum and classical correlations in the one-dimensional XY model with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction

We study the effect of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction on pairwise quantum discord, entanglement, and classical correlation in the anisotropic XY spin-half chain. Analytical expressions for both quantum and classical correlations are obtained from the spin-spin correlation functions. We show that these pairwise quantities exhibit various behaviors in relation to the relative strengths of the DM interaction, the anisotropy and the magnetic intensity. We observe non-analyticities of the derivatives of both quantum and classical correlations with respect to the magnetic intensity at the critical point, with consideration of the DM interaction.
