Abstract

In this paper we investigate an entanglement measure, the R\'enyi entropy, in a 1+1D integrable quantum field theory known as the Federbush model. This is a deformation of the theory of two massive Dirac fermions by means of a bilinear term in the $U(1)$ currents that couples the two fermion species. This deformation gives rise to $S$-matrix elements which are coupling-dependent phases, distinct from $- 1$. These non-trivial phases can be seen as encoding anyon-like statistics. From this viewpoint, the Federbush model is a toy model for topological features of entanglement in one space dimension. In this paper we show that, for an infinite system, these topological features play no role when computing many known measures of entanglement at equilibrium in the ground state. This conclusion applies also to the post-quench dynamics after a small quench of the topological parameter.

Quantum Information in SYK Model

We investigate the bulk-boundary correspondence in the SYK model from a quantum information perspective. The SYK model describes a system of Majorana fermions with random all-to-all interactions, whose disorder average-typically taken over a Gaussian ensemble-admits a dual description in terms of JT gravity in the larg...

Comments on entanglement entropy in the c = 1 string theory

We study entanglement entropy in the low-energy effective field theory of two-dimensional string theory as well as in the singlet sector of the dual c = 1 matrix quantum mechanics. From the target space perspective, we argue that a generic bulk subregion is expected to have an associated generalized entanglement entrop...

Inequalities and Positivity in Modular Flowed Entanglement Entropy

The modular Hamiltonian plays an important role in quantum information theory, quantum field theory, and the AdS/CFT correspondence. In this paper, we study a specific dynamical setup: starting from the tensor product of the reduced density matrices of a reference state, we evolve this product state under the modular f...

Transport interpretation of entanglement Hamiltonian cumulants in integrable quantum quenches

We study the dynamics of the cumulants of the entanglement Hamiltonian in interacting integrable models following global quantum quenches. Building on recent results based on space-time duality, we show that these cumulants are exactly given by the cumulants of currents of suitable conserved charges evaluated in the ma...

Fixed Points, Floquet Entanglement Asymmetry, and Quantum Mpemba Effects

We investigate the dynamics of entanglement asymmetry in periodically driven two-dimensional conformal field theories with a global U$(1)$ symmetry, using a dynamical-system description based on iterated conformal maps, in particular M\"obius maps. Starting from a symmetry-breaking excited state prepared by a local ope...

A semiclassical Hilbert space for random matrix theory

We study the one-sided time evolution of thermofield double (TFD) states in random matrix theory, where the Hamiltonian is taken to be a $D\times D$ random matrix drawn from a unitarily invariant emsemble of Hermitian matrices. We argue that the Krylov basis with the maximally entangled state taken as the initial vecto...
