Popis: There have been numerous studies of entanglement in spin systems. These have usually focussed on examining the entanglement between individual spins or determining whether the state of the system is completely separable. Here we present conditions that allow us to determine whether blocks of spins are entangled. We show that sometimes these conditions can detect entanglement better than conditions involving individual spins. We apply these conditions to study entanglement in spin wave states, both when there are only a few magnons present and also at finite temperature.
