量子Lifshitz模型激发态的纠缠熵

Entanglement Entropy in Excited States of the Quantum Lifshitz Model

Daniel E. Parker, Romain Vasseur, Joel E. Moore

摘要:

研究了量子Lifshitz模型(QLM)中无限多类激发态的纠缠特性。在QLM中的共形量子临界点的存在下,使其异常易于处理的模型以上的一个空间维度,使基态纠缠熵的任意域的几何和拓扑量来表示。在这里,我们将这一结果推广到激发态,发现纠缠可以很自然地用我们称之为“纠缠传播子振幅”的量来表示。EPA是我们明确计算和解释的几何概率。格点和连续体结果的比较表明,EPA是普遍的。这项工作表明,QLM是一个2+1d场论的例子,其中激发态纠缠的普遍行为可以解析计算。

英文摘要:

We investigate the entanglement properties of an infinite class of excited states in the quantum Lifshitz model (QLM). The presence of a conformal quantum critical point in the QLM makes it unusually tractable for a model above one spatial dimension, enabling the ground state entanglement entropy for an arbitrary domain to be expressed in terms of geometrical and topological quantities. Here we extend this result to excited states and find that the entanglement can be naturally written in terms of quantities which we dub "entanglement propagator amplitudes" (EPAs). EPAs are geometrical probabilities that we explicitly calculate and interpret. A comparison of lattice and continuum results demonstrates that EPAs are universal. This work shows that the QLM is an example of a 2+1d field theory where the universal behavior of excited-state entanglement may be computed analytically.
