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 کاملField Theory Approach to Quantum Impurity Problems ∗
Quantum impurity problems occur in various areas of physics. Some examples are: an impurity spin in a metal (the Kondo problem), the two-impurity Kondo problem, a defect or impurity spin in a spin chain, tunnelling through a barrier in a quantum wire proton-monopole scattering (the Callan-Rubakov effect). Some common features of these problems are: 1. gapless “bulk” excitations (ie. far from th...
متن کاملMagnetic Impurity in a Luttinger Liquid : A Conformal Field Theory
We study the low-temperature properties of a spin-1 2 magnetic impurity coupled to a one-dimensional interacting electron system. Using the newly developed formalism by AAeck and Ludwig, with a scale invariant boundary condition replacing the impurity, we exploit boundary conformal eld theory to deduce the impurity thermal and magnetic response. In the case of only forward electron scattering o...
متن کاملConformal Dimensions from Topologically Massive Quantum Field Theory
We discuss the evaluation of observables in two-dimensional conformal field theory using the topological membrane description. We show that the spectrum of anomalous dimensions can be obtained perturbatively from the topologically massive quantum field theories by computing radiative corrections to Aharonov-Bohm scattering amplitudes for dynamical charged matter fields. The one-loop corrections...
متن کاملFrom PT -symmetric quantum mechanics to conformal field theory
One of the simplest examples of a PT -symmetric quantum system is the scaling Yang-Lee model, a quantum field theory with cubic interaction and purely imaginary coupling. We give a historical review of some facts about this model in d ≤ 2 dimensions, from its original definition in connection with phase transitions in the Ising model and its relevance to polymer physics, to the rôle it has play...
