Abstract

We study the entanglement Hamiltonian of an infinite hopping chain in its ground state, after partial projective measurements in the occupation basis. For a segment separated by two measurement regions from the rest of the chain, we show that the reduced density matrix can be related to a grand-canonical state via a conformal mapping and a gauge transformation in the underlying field-theory description. The entanglement Hamiltonian is then described by a local inverse temperature that vanishes as a square root around the endpoints and is independent of the particular measurement outcome. In sharp contrast, the local chemical potential is shown to be related to the induced charge density in the segment. Hence the entanglement Hamiltonian of a post-selected state contains much more information on the measurement outcome than the respective entropy.

Entanglement-Inducing Quantum Markov Processes

We introduce a new model for a system of interacting bosons placed in an array of sites. At its core is a nonlinear, nonlocal evolution equation, which we have dubbed the Schr\"odinger-Dirichlet equation. The construction is closely related to the Bose-Hubbard model and to a specific type of generalized bosons. In cont...

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...

Local universality of non-local quantum resources in rotationally invariant scattering

Elastic scattering can generate entanglement and non-local magic between the spins of the two outgoing particles. The amount of entanglement and magic produced is encoded in the S-matrix; a unitary quantum gate that acts on the joint Hilbert space of the two spin-J particles. Previous work derived the entanglement powe...

Structure of Measurement-Induced Entanglement in Infinite-Randomness Critical States

The impact of projective measurements on a many-body quantum state is tightly linked to its underlying entanglement structure. Critical states are particularly sensitive, as long-range entanglement allows local measurements to have global consequences. This has been extensively studied in the context of critical states...

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...

Local Vacuum Entanglement through Most Entangled Modes

We find the shape of the modes containing most of the entanglement between two disjoint spherical regions in the vacuum of a free massless real scalar field in 1+3 Minkowski spacetime. Using the Klco-Beck-Savage method we approximate the field and momentum profile of the vacuum most entangled modes (MEMs) between two s...
