Quantum speed limit for a three-qubit system in spin-chain environment with multisite interaction

We study the relationship between the quantum speed limit (QSL) time of a three-qubit system, and the quantum phase transitions (QPTs) of a spin-chain environment with the three-spin interaction. We find that the three-spin interaction can effectively manipulate the critical value of the QSL time. It makes the QSL time mark more clearly the quantum phase transition of the one-dimensional spin-chain models, especially the XX model. The dynamical evolution of the QSL time presents a periodic behavior in quantum-critical environment, whereas the three-spin interaction and external magnetic field can destroy this periodicity.
