Impurity entanglement entropy in Kondo systems from conformal field theory
The entanglement entropy in Kondo impurity systems is studied analytically using conformal field theory. From the impurity contribution to the scaling corrections of the entanglement entropy we extract information about the screening cloud profile for general non-Fermi-liquid fixed points. By also considering the finite-temperature corrections to scaling of the von Neumann entropy we point out ...
متن کاملCurrent Superalgebra and Non - unitary Conformal Field Theory
Motivated by application of current superalgebras in the study of disordered systems such as the random XY and Dirac models, we investigate gl(2|2) current superalgebra at general level k. We construct its free field representation and corresponding Sugawara energy-momentum tensor in the non-standard basis. Three screen currents of the first kind are also presented.
متن کاملEntanglement Entropy and Quantum Field Theory: a Non-technical Introduction
There has been considerable interest in formulating measures of entanglement and applying them to extended quantum systems with many degrees of freedom, such as quantum spin chains, especially close to a quantum phase transition (see, e.g., several other reports in these proceedings). One of these measures is entanglement entropy. Suppose the whole system is in a pure quantum state |Ψ〉, with de...
متن کاملde Sitter entropy from conformal field theory
We propose that the entropy of de Sitter space can be identified with the mutual entropy of a dual conformal field theory. We argue that unitary time evolution in de Sitter space restricts the total number of excited degrees of freedom to be bounded by the de Sitter entropy, and we give a CFT interpretation of this restriction. We also clarify issues arising from the fact that both de Sitter an...
متن کاملConformal Field Theory, Geometry, and Entropy
In the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence, an explicit relation between the physical degrees of freedom of 2+1d gravity and the stress tensor of 1+1d conformal field theory is exhibited. Gravity encodes thermodynamic state variables of conformal field theory, but does not distinguish among different CFT states with the same expectation value for the stress tensor. Simply put, gravity is ther...
