Abstract

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.

Operationally accessible entanglement of one-dimensional spinless fermions

Hatem Barghathi, Emanuel Casiano-Diaz, Adrian Del Maestro

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.

Measuring postquench entanglement entropy through density correlations

Adrian Del Maestro, Hatem Barghathi, Bernd Rosenow

Following a sudden change of interactions in an integrable system of one-dimensional fermions, we analyze the dependence of the static structure factor on the observation time after the quantum quench.At small waiting times after the quench, we map the system to noninteracting bosons such that we are able to extract their occupation numbers from the Fourier transform of the density-density correlation function, and use these to compute a bosonic entropy from a diagonal ensemble.By comparing this bosonic entropy with the asymptotic steady-state entanglement entropy per fermion computed with exact diagonalization, we find excellent agreement.

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.

Entanglement dynamics after quantum quenches in generic integrable systems

Vincenzo Alba, Pasquale Calabrese

The time evolution of the entanglement entropy in non-equilibrium quantum systems provides crucial information about the structure of the time-dependent state. For quantum quench protocols, by combining a quasiparticle picture for the entanglement spreading with the exact knowledge of the stationary state provided by Bethe ansatz, it is possible to obtain an exact and analytic description of the evolution of the entanglement entropy. Here we discuss the application of these ideas to several integrable models. First we show that for non-interacting systems, both bosonic and fermionic, the exact time-dependence of the entanglement entropy can be derived by elementary techniques and without solving the dynamics. We then provide exact results for interacting spin chains that are carefully tested against numerical simulations. Finally, we apply this method to integrable one-dimensional Bose gases (Lieb-Liniger model) both in the attractive and repulsive regimes. We highlight a peculiar behaviour of the entanglement entropy due to the absence of a maximum velocity of excitations.

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.

Strongly Correlated Fermions after a Quantum Quench

Salvatore R. Manmana, Stefan Weßel, R. M. Noack +1 more

Using the adaptive time-dependent density-matrix renormalization group method, we study the time evolution of strongly correlated spinless fermions on a one-dimensional lattice after a sudden change of the interaction strength. For certain parameter values, two different initial states (e.g., metallic and insulating) lead to observables which become indistinguishable after relaxation. We find that the resulting quasistationary state is nonthermal. This result holds for both integrable and nonintegrable variants of the system.
