In this paper, we investigate the entanglement of a two-spin system with Heisenberg exchange interaction in a quantized field. The pairwise entanglement between bipartite subsystems is obtained. It is shown that the entanglement exhibits a quantum phase transition due to the variation of exchang coupling. Phase diagrams are obtained explicitly. The analogy of the quantum phase transition compared to the case under a classical field are addressed.
