Quantum criticality and mixed-state entanglement in holographic superconductor–insulator transitions

Zhe Yang, Fang-Jing Cheng, Guoyang Fu +3 more

Abstract We study quantum criticality in a holographic Einstein–Maxwell–Dilaton–Axion (EMDA) p-wave superconductor exhibiting a superconductor–insulator transition (SIT). By tracking the superconducting energy gap, we show that approaching the quantum critical point (QCP) closes the gap and induces incipient insulating features, indicating that enhanced quantum fluctuations suppress superconducting order and trigger the SIT. We suggest that this behavior occurs only when the condensate orientation is aligned with the direction of translational symmetry breaking. To probe the transition, we employ two holographic indicators: holographic entanglement entropy (HEE) and the entanglement wedge cross-section (EWCS), the latter being a mixed-state entanglement measure. In contrast to HEE, which for sufficiently large configuration is dominated by the thermal entropy and is therefore largely insensitive to entanglement along the temperature direction, EWCS displays pronounced critical scaling and provides a robust diagnostic of the quantum phase transition (QPT). We attribute this contrast to the fact that HEE at large scales is controlled by the infrared (IR) geometry, whereas EWCS is governed by deformations of the entire bulk. Our results establish EWCS as a robust probe of holographic quantum criticality in mixed states.

Holographic entanglement entropy of a 1 + 1 dimensional p-wave superconductor

Sumit R. Das, Mitsutoshi Fujita A, Bom Soo Kim

We examine the behavior of entanglement entropy S EE of a subsystem A in a fully backreacted holographic model of a 1 + 1 dimensional p wave superconductor across the phase transition. For a given temperature, the system goes to a superconducting phase beyond a critical value of the charge density. The entanglement entropy, considered as a function of the charge density at a given temperature, has a cusp at the critical point. In addition, we find that there are three different behaviors in the condensed phase, depending on the subsystem size. For a subsystem size l smaller than a critical size l c1, S EE continues to increase as a function of the charge density as we cross the phase transition. When l lies between l c1 and another critical size l c2 the entanglement entropy displays a non-monotonic behavior, while for l > l c2 it decreases monotonically. At large charge densities S EE appears to saturate. The non-monotonic behavior leads to a novel phase diagram for this system.
