Exact relationship between the entanglement entropies of XY and quantum Ising chains
Abstract. We consider two prototypical quantum models, the spin-1/2 XY chain and the quantum Ising chain and study their entanglement entropy, S(l, L), of blocks of l spins in homogeneous or inhomogeneous systems of length L. By using two different approaches, free-fermion techniques and perturbational expansion, an exact relationship between the entropies is revealed. Using this relation we tr...
متن کاملRényi entropies of free bosons on the torus and holography
We analytically evaluate the Rényi entropies for the two dimensional free boson CFT. The CFT is considered to be compactified on a circle and at finite temperature. The Rényi entropies Sn are evaluated for a single interval using the two point function of bosonic twist fields on a torus. For the case of the compact boson, the sum over the classical saddle points results in the Riemann-Siegel th...
متن کاملAspects of Strongly Correlated Many-body Fermi Systems
William J. Porter III: ASPECTS OF STRONGLY CORRELATED MANY-BODY FERMI SYSTEMS (Under the direction of Joaqúın E. Drut) A, by now, well-known signal-to-noise problem plagues Monte Carlo calculations of quantum-informationtheoretic observables in systems of interacting fermions, particularly the Rényi entanglement entropies Sn, even in many cases where the infamous sign problem does not appear. S...
متن کاملParity effects in the scaling of block entanglement in gapless spin chains.
We consider the Rényi alpha entropies for Luttinger liquids (LL). For large block lengths l, these are known to grow like lnl. We show that there are subleading terms that oscillate with frequency 2k{F} (the Fermi wave number of the LL) and exhibit a universal power-law decay with l. The new critical exponent is equal to K/(2alpha), where K is the LL parameter. We present numerical results for ...
متن کاملTopology in Free Fermion Systems
We study the relationship between bipartite entanglement, subsystem particle number and topology in a half-filled free fermion system. It is proposed that the spin-projected particle numbers can distinguish the quantum spin Hall state from other states, and can be used to establish a new topological index for the system. Furthermore, we apply the new topological invariant to disordered system a...
