英文摘要：

In this paper we give an exact infinite-series expression for the bi-partite entanglement entropy of the quantum Ising model both with a boundary magnetic field and in infinite volume. This generalizes and extends previous results involving the present authors for the bi-partite entanglement entropy of integrable quantum field theories, which exploited the generalization of the form factor program to branch-point twist fields. In the boundary case, we isolate in a universal way the part of the entanglement entropy which is related to the boundary entropy introduced by Affleck and Ludwig, and explain how this relation should hold in more general QFT models. We provide several consistency checks for the validity of our form factor results, notably, the identification of the leading ultraviolet behaviour both of the entanglement entropy and of the two-point function of twist fields in the bulk theory, to a great degree of precision by including up to 500 form factor contributions.

Modular zero modes and sewing the states of QFT

We point out an important difference between continuum relativistic quantum field theory (QFT) and lattice models with dramatic consequences for the theory of multi-partite entanglement. On a lattice given a collection of density matrices $ρ^{(1)},ρ^{(2)}, \cdots, ρ^{(n)}$ there is no guarantee that there exists an $n$-partite pure state $|Ω\rangle_{12\cdots n}$ that reduces to these marginals. The state $|Ω\rangle_{12\cdots n}$ exists only if the eigenvalues of the density matrices $ρ^{(i)}$ satisfy certain polygon inequalities. We show that in QFT, as opposed to lattice systems, splitting th…

Ising Model and $N=2$ Supersymmetric Theories

We establish a direct link between massive Ising model and arbitrary massive $N=2$ supersymmetric QFT's in two dimensions. This explains why the equations which appear in the computation of spin-correlations in the non-critical Ising model are the same as those describing the geometry of vacua in $N=2$ theories. The tau-function appearing in the Ising model (i.e., the spin correlation function) is reinterpreted in the $N=2$ context as a new `index'. In special cases this new index is related to Ray-Singer analytic torsion, and can be viewed as a generalization of that to loop space of Kähler m…

Varying the Unruh Temperature in Integrable Quantum Field Theories

A computational scheme is developed to determine the response of a quantum field theory (QFT) with a factorized scattering operator under a variation of the Unruh temperature. To this end a new family of integrable systems is introduced, obtained by deforming such QFTs in a way that preserves the bootstrap S-matrix. The deformation parameter βplays the role of an inverse temperature for the thermal equilibrium states associated with the Rindler wedge, β= 2πbeing the QFT value. The form factor approach provides an explicit computational scheme for the β\neq 2πsystems, enforcing in particular a …

Critical Ising Model with Boundary Magnetic Field: RG Interface and Effective Hamiltonians

Critical 2D Ising model with a boundary magnetic field is arguably the simplest QFT that interpolates between two non-trivial fixed points. We use the diagonalising Bogolyubov transformation for this model to investigate two quantities. Firstly we explicitly construct an RG interface operator that is a boundary condition changing operator linking the free boundary condition with the one with a boundary magnetic field. We investigate its properties and in particular show that in the limit of large magnetic field this operator becomes the dimension 1/16 primary field linking the free and fixed b…

The Intrinsic Coupling in Integrable Quantum Field Theories

The intrinsic 4-point coupling, defined in terms of a truncated 4-point function at zero momentum, provides a well-established measure for the interaction strength of a QFT. We show that this coupling can be computed non-perturbatively and to high accuracy from the form factors of an (integrable) QFT. The technique is illustrated and tested with the Ising model, the XY-model and the O(3) nonlinear sigma-model. The results are compared to those from high precision lattice simulations.

Determination of critical exponents and equation of state by field theory method

Path integrals have played a fundamental role in emphasizing the profound analogies between Quantum Field Theory (QFT), and Classical as well as Quantum Statistical Physics. Ideas coming from Statistical Physics have then led to a deeper understanding of Quantum Field Theory and open the way for a wealth of non-perturbative methods. Conversely QFT methods are become essential for the description of the phase transitions and critical phenomena beyond mean field theory. This is the point we want to illustrate here. We therefore review the methods, based on renormalized phi^4_3 quantum field theo…

Physics at the entangling surface

To consider the entanglement between the spatial region $A$ and its complement in a QFT, we need to assign a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}_A$ to the region, by making a certain choice on the boundary $\partial A$. We argue that a small physical boundary is implicitly inserted at the entangling surface. We investigate these issues in the context of 2d CFTs, and show that we can indeed read off the Cardy states of the $c=1/2$ minimal model from the entanglement entropy of the critical Ising chain.

Universal corrections to the entanglement entropy in gapped quantum spin chains: a numerical study

We carry out a numerical study of the bi-partite entanglement entropy in the gapped regime of two paradigmatic quantum spin chain models: the Ising chain in an external magnetic field and the anti-ferromagnetic XXZ model. The universal scaling limit of these models is described by the massive Ising field theory and the SU(2)-Thirring (sine-Gordon) model, respectively. We may therefore exploit quantum field theoretical results to predict the behaviour of the entropy. We numerically confirm that, in the scaling limit, corrections to the saturation of the entropy at large region size are proporti…

Finite volume form factors and correlation functions at finite temperature

In this thesis we investigate finite size effects in 1+1 dimensional integrable QFT. In particular we consider matrix elements of local operators (finite volume form factors) and vacuum expectation values and correlation functions at finite temperature. In the first part of the thesis we give a complete description of the finite volume form factors in terms of the infinite volume form factors (solutions of the bootstrap program) and the S-matrix of the theory. The calculations are correct to all orders in the inverse of the volume, only exponentially decaying (residual) finite size effects are…
