Holographic Entanglement of Purification
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study properties of the minimal cross section of entanglement wedge which connects two disconnected subsystems in holography. In particular we focus on various inequalities which are satisfied by this quantity. They suggest that it is a holographic counterpart of the quantity called entanglement of purification, which measures a bipartite correlation in a given mixed state. We give a heuristic argument which supports this identification based on a tensor network interpretation of holography. This implies that the entanglement of purification satisfies the strong superadditivity for holographic conformal field theories.

Holographic Entanglement Entropy: An Overview
In this article, we review recent progresses on the holographic understandings of the entanglement entropy in the AdS/CFT correspondence. After reviewing the general idea of holographic entanglement entropy, we will explain its applications to confinement/deconfinement phase transitions, black hole entropy and covariant formulation of holography. e-mail:[email protected] e-mai...

With an aim towards understanding the time-dependence of entanglement entropy in generic quantum field theories, we propose a covariant generalization of the holographic entanglement entropy proposal of hep-th/0603001. Apart from providing several examples of possible covariant generalizations, we study a particular construction based on light-sheets, motivated in similar spirit to the covarian...
متن کاملGeneralized entanglement entropy
We discuss two measures of entanglement in quantum field theory and their holographic realizations. For field theories admitting a global symmetry, we introduce a global symmetry entanglement entropy, associated with the partitioning of the symmetry group. This quantity is proposed to be related to the generalized holographic entanglement entropy defined via the partitioning of the internal spa...
متن کاملUnravelling holographic entanglement entropy in higher spin theories
There are two proposals that compute holographic entanglement entropy in AdS3 higher spin theories based on SL(N,R) Chern-Simons theory. We show explicitly that these two proposals are equivalent. We also designed two methods that solve systematically the equations for arbitrary N . For finite charge backgrounds in AdS3, we find exact agreement between our expressions and the short interval cor...
