Entanglement entropy and twist fields

Abstract: The entanglement entropy of a subsystem A of a quantum system is expressed, in the replica approach, through analytic continuation with respect to n of the trace of the n−th power of the reduced density matrix. This trace can be thought of as the vacuum expectation value of a suitable observable in a system made with n independent copies of the original system. We use this property to numerically evaluate it in some twodimensional critical systems, where it can be compared with the results of Calabrese and Car… Show more

“…In these cases, one can construct combinations of entanglement entropies which are finite as ε → 0: the simplest case is the mutual information I A 1 ,A 2 ≡ S A 1 + S A 2 − S A 1 ∪A 2 when A = A 1 ∪ A 2 . For two dimensional CFTs, the mutual information or its generalizations to more than two intervals encode all the CFT data of the model [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46]. Some results for the mutual information are also known in 2 + 1 dimensions from the quantum field theory point of view, where the analysis is more difficult because of the non local nature of ∂A [47][48][49][50][51][52].…”
