Operationally accessible entanglement of one-dimensional spinless fermions

Abstract

For indistinguishable itinerant particles subject to a superselection rule fixing their total number, a portion of the entanglement entropy under a spatial bipartition of the ground state is due to particle fluctuations between subsystems and thus is inaccessible as a resource for quantum information processing. We quantify the remaining operationally accessible entanglement in a model of interacting spinless fermions on a one-dimensional lattice via exact diagonalization and the density matrix renormalization group. We find that the accessible entanglement exactly vanishes at the first-order phase transition between a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid and phase separated solid for attractive interactions and is maximal at the transition to the charge density wave for repulsive interactions. Throughout the phase diagram, we discuss the connection between the accessible entanglement entropy and the variance of the probability distribution describing intrasubregion particle-number fluctuations.

Operationally accessible entanglement of 1D spinless fermions

Emanuel Casiano-Diaz

The constituents of a quantum many-body system can be inextricably linked, a phenomenon known as quantum entanglement. Entanglement can be used as a resource for quantum computing and detecting phase transitions. It can be quantified via the von Neumann and Rényi entropies. Particle number superselection rules restrict the amount of entanglement that can be accessed as a resource. In this work, the accessible entanglement between spatial subregions of a 1D lattice of spinless fermions is quantified. Exact diagonalization results confirm the feasibility of the accessible entanglement entropy as a probe to detect quantum phase transitions.

One-particle entanglement for one-dimensional spinless fermions after an interaction quantum quench

Matthias Thamm, Harini Radhakrishnan, Hatem Barghathi +2 more

Particle entanglement provides information on quantum correlations in systems of indistinguishable particles. Here, we study the one-particle entanglement entropy for an integrable model of spinless, interacting fermions both at equilibrium and after an interaction quantum quench. Using both large-scale exact diagonalization and time-dependent density matrix renormalization group calculations, we numerically compute the one-body reduced density matrix for the $J\ensuremath{-}V$ model, as well as its postquench dynamics. We include an analysis of the fermionic momentum distribution, showcasing its time evolution after a quantum quench. Our numerical results, extrapolated to the thermodynamic limit, can be compared with field theoretic bosonization in the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid regime. Excellent agreement is obtained using an interaction cutoff that can be determined uniquely in the ground state.

Quantum entanglement of one-dimensional spinless fermions

Emanuel Casiano-Diaz

The constituents of a quantum many-body system can be inextricably linked, a phenomenon known as quantum entanglement. Entanglement can be used as a resource for quantum computing, quantum communication and detecting phase transitions, among others. The amount of entanglement can be quantified via the von Neumann and Rényi entropies, which have their origins in information theory. In this work, the quantum entanglement between subsystems of a one dimen- sional lattice model of fermions is quantified. The von Neumann and Rényi entropies were calculated for two types of subsystems. In the first study, the subsystems were treated as two subsets of particles, and in the second, as two spatial subregions. Finally, by considering particle superselection rules, the amount of entanglement that can actually be accessed as a resource was calcu- lated. In all cases, the quantum entanglement served to detect phase transitions in the model.

Particle partition entanglement of one dimensional spinless fermions

Hatem Barghathi, Emanuel Casiano-Diaz, Adrian Del Maestro

Abstract We investigate the scaling of the Rényi entanglement entropies for a particle bipartition of interacting spinless fermions in one spatial dimension. In the Tomonaga–Luttinger liquid regime, we calculate the second Rényi entanglement entropy and show that the leading order finite-size scaling is equal to a universal logarithm of the system size plus a non-universal constant. Higher-order corrections decay as power-laws in the system size with exponents that depend only on the Luttinger parameter. We confirm the universality of our results by investigating the one dimensional t − V model of interacting spinless fermions via exact-diagonalization techniques. The resulting sensitivity of the particle partition entanglement to boundary conditions and statistics supports its utility as a probe of quantum liquids.

Tomonaga-Luttinger-liquid criticality: Numerical entanglement entropy approach

Satoshi Nishimoto

The von Neumann entanglement entropy is studied with the density-matrix renormalization-group technique. We propose a simple approach to calculate the central charge using the entanglement entropy for a one-dimensional (1D) quantum system. This approach is applied to a couple of quantum systems: (i) a 1D frustrated spin model and (ii) a 1D half-filled spinless fermions with nearest-neighbor repulsion; it is confirmed that the central charge is estimated very accurately for the both systems. Also, a new method to determine the critical point between Tomonaga-Luttinger-liquid and gapped (or ordered) phases from the proposed approach is suggested. Furthermore, we mention that the Tomonaga-Luttinger parameter can be obtained in a like manner as the central charge, using the charge-density fluctuation of a part of the 1D system.

A scaling function for the particle entanglement entropy of fermions

Harini Radhakrishnan, Matthias Thamm, Hatem Barghathi +2 more

Abstract Entanglement entropy under a particle bipartition generates complementary information to mode entanglement because it is sensitive to interactions and particle statistics at leading order and does not depend on any externally imposed length scale. In this paper, we investigate the particle entanglement entropy in a system of N interacting spinless lattice fermions in one spatial dimension by combining bosonization techniques with exact and approximate numerical methods. We introduce a general scaling form for the fermionic particle entanglement entropy captured by a shape function that enters as an extensive interaction-induced correction to a known free fermion result. A general asymptotic expansion in the total number of particles demonstrates that its form is robust for different values of the Rényi index and highlights how quantum correlations are encoded in the n-particle density matrix of a pure many-body quantum state.
