چکیده

We generalize the topological entanglement entropy to a family of topological Rényi entropies parametrized by a parameter alpha, in an attempt to find new invariants for distinguishing topologically ordered phases. We show that, surprisingly, all topological Rényi entropies are the same, independent of alpha for all nonchiral topological phases. This independence shows that topologically ordered ground-state wave functions have reduced density matrices with a certain simple structure, and no additional universal information can be extracted from the entanglement spectrum.

Entanglement convertibility by sweeping through the quantum phases of the alternating bonds XXZ chain

We study the entanglement structure and the topological edge states of the ground state of the spin-1/2 XXZ model with bond alternation. We employ parity-density matrix renormalization group with periodic boundary conditions. The finite-size scaling of Rényi entropies S2 and S∞ are used to construct the phase diagram of the system. The phase diagram displays three possible phases: Haldane type ...

Rényi Entropies for Free Field Theories

Rényi entropies Sq are useful measures of quantum entanglement; they can be calculated from traces of the reduced density matrix raised to power q, with q ≥ 0. For (d + 1)dimensional conformal field theories, the Rényi entropies across S may be extracted from the thermal partition functions of these theories on either (d+1)-dimensional de Sitter space or R×H, where H is the d-dimensional hyperb...

The Fisher-Hartwig Formula and Generalized Entropies in XY Spin Chain

Toeplitz matrices have applications to different problems of statistical mechanics. Recently it was used for calculation of entanglement entropy in exactly solvable models including spin chains. We use Fisher-Hartwig formula to calculate entanglement entropy [as well as Rényi entropy] of large block of spins in the ground state of XY spin chain. In the end of the paper we announce our recent re...

Entanglement in Valence-Bond-Solid States

This article reviews the quantum entanglement in Valence-Bond-Solid (VBS) states defined on a lattice or a graph. The subject is presented in a self-contained and pedagogical way. The VBS state was first introduced in the celebrated paper by I. Affleck, T. Kennedy, E. H. Lieb and H. Tasaki (abbreviation AKLT is widely used). It became essential in condensed matter physics and quantum informatio...

Scaling of Entanglement Entropy at 2D quantum Lifshitz fixed points and topological fluids

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 char...
