Scaling of Entanglement Entropy at 2D quantum Lifshitz fixed points and topological fluids
نویسنده
چکیده
The entanglement entropy of a pure quantum state of a bipartite system is defined as the von Neumann entropy of the reduced density matrix obtained by tracing over one of the two parts. Critical ground states of local Hamiltonians in one dimension have an entanglement entropy that diverges logarithmically in the subsystem size, with a universal coefficient that is is related to the central charge of the associated conformal field theory. Here I will discuss recent extensions of these ideas to a class of quantum critical points with dynamic critical exponent z = 2 in two space dimensions and to 2D systems in a topological phase. The application of these ideas to quantum dimer models and fractional quantum Hall states will be discussed. Entanglement Scaling at Quantum Lifshitz fixed points and topological fluids 2

Topological Entanglement Entropy in Chern-Simons Theories and Quantum Hall Fluids
We compute directly the entanglement entropy of spatial regions in Chern-Simons gauge theories in 2 + 1 dimensions using surgery. We use these results to determine the universal topological piece of the entanglement entropy for Abelian and non-Abelian quantum Hall fluids.
متن کاملImpurity 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 کاملUniversal entanglement entropy in two-dimensional conformal quantum critical points
We study the scaling behavior of the entanglement entropy of two-dimensional conformal quantum critical systems, i.e., systems with scale-invariant wave functions. They include two-dimensional generalized quantum dimer models on bipartite lattices and quantum loop models, as well as the quantum Lifshitz model and related gauge theories. We show that under quite general conditions, the entanglem...
متن کاملEntanglement at a two-dimensional quantum critical point: a T = 0 projector quantum Monte Carlo study
Although the leading-order scaling of entanglement entropy is nonuniversal at a quantum critical point (QCP), sub-leading scaling can contain universal behaviour. Such universal quantities are commonly studied in noninteracting field theories, however it typically requires numerical calculation to access them in interacting theories. In this paper, we use large-scale T = 0 quantum Monte Carlo s...
