Entanglement in noncritical inhomogeneous quantum chains
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study an inhomogeneous critical Ising chain in a transverse field whose couplings decay exponentially from the center. In strong inhomogeneity limit, we apply Fisher's renormalization group to show that ground state is formed by concentric singlets similar those of rainbow XX model. weak map model massless Majorana fermion living hyperbolic space-time, where, using conformal theory techniques, derive entanglement entropy and it presents linear scaling. also noncritical for mapped massive fermion, while regime, exhibits trivial nontrivial topological phases separation between regions with high low entanglement. present Hamiltonian

Entanglement Dynamics of Disordered Quantum Xy Chains
We consider the dynamics of the quantum XY chain with disorder under the general assumption that the expectation of the eigenfunction correlator of the associated oneparticle Hamiltonian satisfies a decay estimate typical of Anderson localization. We show that, starting from a broad class of product initial states, entanglement remains bounded for all times. For the XX chain, we also derive bou...

متن کاملEntanglement entropy of aperiodic quantum spin chains
We study the entanglement entropy of blocks of contiguous spins in non-periodic (quasi-periodic or more generally aperiodic) critical Heisenberg, XX and quantum Ising spin chains, e.g. in Fibonacci chains. For marginal and relevant aperiodic modulations, the entanglement entropy is found to be a logarithmic function of the block size with log-periodic oscillations. The effective central charge,...
متن کاملRandom Matrix Theory and Entanglement in Quantum Spin Chains
We compute the entropy of entanglement in the ground states of a general class of quantum spin-chain Hamiltonians — those that are related to quadratic forms of Fermi operators — between the first N spins and the rest of the system in the limit of infinite total chain length. We show that the entropy can be expressed in terms of averages over the classical compact groups and establish an explic...
متن کاملEntanglement entropy in quantum spin chains with finite range interaction ∗
We study the entropy of entanglement of the ground state in a wide family of one-dimensional quantum spin chains whose interaction is of finite range and translation invariant. Such systems can be thought of as generalizations of the XY model. The chain is divided in two parts: one containing the first consecutive L spins; the second the remaining ones. In this setting the entropy of entangleme...
