Charged Rényi negativity of massless free bosons

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we consider the computation of charged moments of the reduced density matrix of two disjoint intervals in the 1+1 dimensional free compactified boson conformal field theory (CFT) by studying the four-point function of the fluxed twist fields. We obtained the exact scaling function of this four-point function and discussed its decompactification limit. This scaling function was used to obtain the charged moments of the partial transpose which we refer as charged Rényi negativity. These charged moments and the charged moments of the partial transpose are essential for the problem of symmetry decomposition of the corresponding entanglement measures. We test our analytic formula against exact numerical computation in the complex harmonic chain, finding perfect agreements.

Charge imbalance resolved negativity of massless free bosons

Hui-Huang Chen

In this paper, we consider the computation of symmetry resolved entanglement entropy of two disjoint intervals in the $1+1$ dimensional free compactified boson conformal field theory by studying the four-point function of the fluxed twist fields. We obtained the exact scaling function of this four-point function and discussed its decompactification limit. This scaling function was used to obtain the charge imbalance resolved R\'enyi negativity. We test our analytic formula against exact numerical computation in the complex harmonic chain, finding perfect agreements.

Entanglement negativity in extended systems: a field theoretical approach

Pasquale Calabrese, John Cardy, Erik Tonni C

We report on a systematic approach for the calculation of the negativity in the ground state of a one-dimensional quantum field theory. The partial transpose of the reduced density matrix of a subsystem A = A 1 ∪ A 2 is explicitly constructed as an imaginary-time path integral and from this the replicated traces are obtained. The logarithmic negativity is then the continuation to n → 1 of the traces of the even powers. For pure states, this procedure reproduces the known results. We then apply this method to conformally invariant field theories (CFTs) in several different physical situations for infinite and finite systems and without or with boundaries. In particular, in the case of two adjacent intervals of lengths ℓ 1 ,ℓ 2 in an infinite system, we derive the result ∼ ( c /4)ln(ℓ 1 ℓ 2 /(ℓ 1 + ℓ 2 )), where c is the central charge. For the more complicated case of two disjoint intervals, we show that the negativity depends only on the harmonic ratio of the four end points and so is manifestly scale invariant. We explicitly calculate the scale invariant functions for the replicated traces in the case of the CFT for the free compactified boson, but we have not so far been able to obtain the n → 1 continuation for the negativity even in the limit of large compactification radius. We have checked all our findings against exact numerical results for the harmonic chain which is described by a non-compactified free boson.

Charge imbalance resolved Rényi negativity for free compact boson: Two disjoint interval case

Himanshu Gaur, Urjit A. Yajnik

Abstract In this paper, we study the symmetry decomposition of Rényi negativity into charge imbalance sectors for the 1+1 dimensional free compact boson field with a global U(1) symmetry in the ground state for the case of two disjoint intervals. We obtain multicharged and charged Rényi negativity moments by computing the four-point correlator of flux-generating vertex operators on the Riemann surface. We then obtain charge imbalance resolved Rényi negativity by taking the Fourier transform of the charged moments. Finally, we match our results against the tight-binding model as a numerical check.

Towards the entanglement negativity of two disjoint intervals for a one dimensional free fermion

Andrea Coser, Erik Tonni C, Pasquale Calabrese

Abstract We study the moments of the partial transpose of the reduced density matrix of two intervals for the free massless Dirac fermion. By means of a direct calculation based on a coherent state path integral, we find an analytic form for these moments in terms of the Riemann theta function. We show that moments of arbitrary order are equal to the same quantities for the compactified boson at the self-dual point. These equalities also imply the non-trivial result that the negativity of the free fermion and the self-dual boson are equal.

Multi-charged moments of two intervals in conformal field theory

Filiberto Ares, Pasquale Calabrese, Giuseppe Di Giulio +1 more

Abstract We study the multi-charged moments for two disjoint intervals in the ground state of two 1 + 1 dimensional CFTs with central charge c = 1 and global U(1) symmetry: the massless Dirac field theory and the compact boson (Luttinger liquid). For this purpose, we compute the partition function on the higher genus Riemann surface arising from the replica method in the presence of background magnetic fluxes between the sheets of the surface. We consider the general situation in which the fluxes generate different twisted boundary conditions at each branch point. The obtained multi-charged moments allow us to derive the symmetry resolution of the Rényi entanglement entropies and the mutual information for non complementary bipartitions. We check our findings against exact numerical results for the tight-binding model, which is a lattice realisation of the massless Dirac theory.

Rényi entanglement asymmetry in ( 1 + 1 )-dimensional conformal field theories

Miao Chen, Hui-Huang Chen

In this paper, we consider the Rényi entanglement asymmetry of excited states in the ( 1 + 1 ) dimensional free compact boson conformal field theory (CFT) at equilibrium. We obtain a universal CFT expression written by correlation functions for the charged moments via the replica trick. We provide detailed analytic computations of the second Rényi entanglement asymmetry in the free compact boson CFT for excited states Ψ = V β + V − β and Φ = V β + J with V β and J = i ∂ ϕ being the vertex operator and current operator, respectively. We make numerical tests of the universal CFT computations using the XX spin chain model. Taking the non-Hermite fake reduced density matrices into consideration, we propose an effective way to test them numerically, which can be applied to other excited states. The CFT predictions are in perfect agreement with the exact numerical calculations. Published by the American Physical Society 2024
