Abstract

In this paper we study the entanglement properties of free nonrelativistic Bose gases. At zero temperature, we calculate the bipartite block entanglement entropy of the system and find that it diverges logarithmically with the particle number in the subsystem. For finite temperatures, we study the mutual information between the two blocks. We first analytically study an infinite-range hopping model, then numerically study a set of long-range hopping models in one dimension that exhibit Bose-Einstein condensation. In both cases we find that a Bose-Einstein condensate, if present, makes a divergent contribution to the mutual information which is proportional to the logarithm of the number of particles in the condensate in the subsystem. The prefactor of the logarithmic divergent term is model dependent.

Intercomponent entanglement entropy and spectrum in binary Bose-Einstein condensates

Takumi Yoshino, Shunsuke Furukawa, Masahito Ueda

We study the entanglement entropy and spectrum between components in binary Bose-Einstein condensates in $d$ spatial dimensions. We employ effective field theory to show that the entanglement spectrum exhibits an anomalous square-root dispersion relation in the presence of intercomponent tunneling (Rabi coupling) and a gapped dispersion relation in its absence. These spectral features are associated with the emergence of long-range interactions in terms of the superfluid velocity and the particle density in the entanglement Hamiltonian. Our results demonstrate that unusual long-range interactions can be emulated in a subsystem of multicomponent BECs that have only short-range interactions. We also find that for a finite Rabi coupling the entanglement entropy exhibits a volume-law scaling with subleading logarithmic corrections originating from the Nambu-Goldstone mode and the symmetry restoration for a finite volume.

Mutual Information and Bose-Einstein Condensation

Christos N. Gagatsos, A. I. Karanikas, G. Kordas

In this work we study an ideal bosonic quantum field system at finite temperature, and in a canonical and a grand canonical ensemble. For a simple spatial partition we derive the corresponding mutual information, a quantity that measures the total amount of information of one of the parts about the other. In order to find it, we first derive the von Neumann entropy that corresponds to the spatially separated subsystem (i.e. the geometric entropy) and then we subtract its extensive part which coincides with the thermal entropy of the subsystem. In the framework of the grand canonical description, we examine the influence of the underlying Bose-Einstein condensation on the behaviour of the mutual information, and we find that its derivative with respect to the temperature possesses a finite discontinuity at exactly the critical temperature.

APPLICATIONS OF DENSITY MATRICES IN A TRAPPED BOSE GAS

An overview of the Bose–Einstein condensation of correlated atoms in a trap is presented by examining the effect of interparticle correlations to one- and two-body properties of the above systems at zero temperature in the framework of the lowest order cluster expansion. Analytical expressions for the one- and two-body properties of the Bose gas are derived using Jastrow-type correlation function. In addition numerical calculations of the natural orbitals and natural occupation numbers are also carried out. Special effort is devoted for the calculation of various quantum information properties including Shannon entropy, Onicescu informational energy, Kullback–Leibler relative entropy and the recently proposed Jensen–Shannon divergence entropy. The above quantities are calculated for the trapped Bose gases by comparing the correlated and uncorrelated cases as a function of the strength of the short-range correlations. The Gross–Piatevskii equation is solved, giving the density distributions in position and momentum space, which are employed to calculate quantum information properties of the Bose gas.

Quantum entanglement entropy of collective excitations in a quasi-one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate

QI Ying, Yanhong LIU, Haoxue Qiao +1 more

Quasi-particle excitation in a Bose-Einstein condensate leads to quantum entanglement between real bosonic atoms in the system. By using spectral expansion method, the eigenvalues and eigenstates of Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation are numerically calculated in a quasi-one-dimensional infinite square well potential. For the low-energy collective excitations of the quasi-particles, we explore the dependence of quantum entanglement entropy of the Bose-Einstein condensate on scattering length. Our results show that the entanglement entropy increases slowly with the increase of the scattering length, and such an increasing trend can be well described by a power function. These results are analogous to those in a one-dimensional uniform BEC, where the entanglement entropy of the Bogoliubov ground state is approximately proportional to the square root of the scattering length. This work provides a viable way for investigating many-particle entanglement in a quasi-one-dimensional trapped Bose-Einstein condensate where the quantum entanglement is closely related to the interaction strength between particles.

Entropy estimation in a spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate

Yannick Deller, Martin Gärttner, Tobias Haas +3 more

Abstract We investigate the information extractable from measurement distributions of two non-commuting spin observables in a multi-well spin-1 Bose–Einstein condensate. We provide a variety of analytic and numerical evidence that suitably chosen classical entropies and classical mutual informations thereof contain the typical feature of quantum entropies known in quantum field theories, that is, the area law, even in the non-Gaussian regime and for a non-zero temperature. Towards a feasible experimental implementation, we estimate entropic quantities from a finite number of samples without any additional assumptions on the underlying quantum state using k-nearest neighbor estimators.

Excited-state entanglement and thermal mutual information in random spin chains

Yichen Huang, Joel E. Moore

Entanglement properties of excited eigenstates (or of thermal mixed states) are difficult to study with conventional analytical methods. We approach this problem for random spin chains using a recently developed real-space renormalization group technique for excited states (``RSRG-X''). For the random XX and quantum Ising chains, which have logarithmic divergences in the entanglement entropy of their (infinite-randomness) critical ground states, we show that the entanglement entropy of excited eigenstates retains a logarithmic divergence while the mutual information of thermal mixed states does not. However, in the XX case the coefficient of the logarithmic divergence extends from the universal ground-state value to a universal interval due to the degeneracy of excited eigenstates. These models are noninteracting in the sense of having free-fermion representations, allowing strong numerical checks of our analytical predictions.
