摘要:

在D=2+1量子临界系统中,角点边界上的纠缠熵包含一个次主导的具有普适系数的对数标度项.已经证明,这个系数在首阶上正比于O(N)连续统$ϕ^4$场论中的场分量数N。利用密度矩阵重整化群计算和数值关联集团展开技术,我们在两个不同的微观模型的量子临界点上直接计算,以惊人的方式证实了O(2)Wilson-Fisher不动点的这种情况.在我们的数值精度范围内,这个角系数的值是伊辛不动点系数的两倍。我们的研究结果增加了越来越多的证据,证明雷尼纠缠熵中的这个普适项反映了系统中低能自由度的数量,即使对于强相互作用理论也是如此。

英文摘要:

In a D=2+1 quantum critical system, the entanglement entropy across a boundary with a corner contains a subleading logarithmic scaling term with a universal coefficient. It has been conjectured that this coefficient is, to leading order, proportional to the number of field components N in the associated O(N) continuum $ϕ^4$ field theory. Using density matrix renormalization group calculations combined with the powerful numerical linked cluster expansion technique, we confirm this scenario for the O(2) Wilson-Fisher fixed point in a striking way, through direct calculation at the quantum critical points of two very different microscopic models. The value of this corner coefficient is, to within our numerical precision, twice the coefficient of the Ising fixed point. Our results add to the growing body of evidence that this universal term in the Rényi entanglement entropy reflects the number of low-energy degrees of freedom in a system, even for strongly interacting theories.
