Entanglement entropy , conformal invariance and extrinsic geometry
We use the conformal invariance and the holographic correspondence to fully specify the dependence of entanglement entropy on the extrinsic geometry of the 2d surface Σ that separates two subsystems of quantum strongly coupled N = 4 SU(N) superconformal gauge theory. We extend this result and calculate entanglement entropy of a generic 4d conformal field theory. As a byproduct, we obtain a clos...
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 through conformal interfaces
We consider entanglement through permeable interfaces in the c = 1 (1+1)dimensional conformal field theory. We compute the partition functions with the interfaces inserted. By the replica trick, the entanglement entropy is obtained analytically. The entropy scales logarithmically with respect to the size of the system, similarly to the universal scaling of the ordinary entanglement entropy in (...
متن کاملEntanglement Entropy and Quantum Field Theory: a Non-technical Introduction
There has been considerable interest in formulating measures of entanglement and applying them to extended quantum systems with many degrees of freedom, such as quantum spin chains, especially close to a quantum phase transition (see, e.g., several other reports in these proceedings). One of these measures is entanglement entropy. Suppose the whole system is in a pure quantum state |Ψ〉, with de...
