Abstract

We investigate symmetry-resolved entanglement in non-relativistic quantum field theories, including complex Lifshitz scalar chains and Lifshitz fermionic models. Using charged moments and the correlator method, we compute symmetry-resolved Renyi and von Neumann entropies and analyze their dependence on subsystem size, charge, mass, and the dynamical exponent z. Our results reveal distinct features of non-relativistic entanglement. In Lifshitz scalar theories, approximate equipartition among charge sectors emerges in the large-z regime, with configurational entropy dominating, whereas Lifshitz fermionic models exhibit genuine equipartition only in the relativistic limit, with fluctuation entropy prevailing. These findings highlight a rich interplay between conserved charges, subsystem size, mass, and dynamical scaling, and provide a framework to explore operationally accessible entanglement in non-relativistic systems. Our study offers insights relevant to experimental platforms such as cold atom setups and mesoscopic systems, where particle-number-resolved measurements can probe symmetry-resolved entanglement.

Symmetry resolved capacity of entanglement in nonrelativistic scalar field theory

M. Reza Mohammadi Mozaffar, Ali Mollabashi

We study several aspects of symmetry resolved capacity of entanglement in certain nonrelativistic quantum field theories which are scale invariant. In particular, we focus on scalar theories with nontrivial dynamical exponent. This study aims to develop a deeper understanding of how each symmetry sector contributes to the capacity of entanglement of the corresponding ground state. Using the correlator method, we compute symmetry-resolved capacity of entanglement and analyze its dependence on the charge and the dynamical exponent. Our results reveal that in these theories, approximate equipartition of entanglement among charge sectors emerges in the large-z regime.

Exact quench dynamics of symmetry resolved entanglement in a free fermion chain

Gilles Parez, Riccarda Bonsignori, Pasquale Calabrese

Abstract The study of the entanglement dynamics plays a fundamental role in understanding the behaviour of many-body quantum systems out of equilibrium. In the presence of a globally conserved charge, further insights are provided by the knowledge of the resolution of entanglement in the various symmetry sectors. Here, we carry on the program we initiated in Parez et al (2021 Phys. Rev. B 103 L041104), for the study of the time evolution of the symmetry resolved entanglement in free fermion systems. We complete and extend our derivations also by defining and quantifying a symmetry resolved mutual information. The entanglement entropies display a time delay that depends on the charge sector that we characterise exactly. Both entanglement entropies and mutual information show effective equipartition in the scaling limit of large time and subsystem size. Furthermore, we argue that the behaviour of the charged entropies can be quantitatively understood in the framework of the quasiparticle picture for the spreading of entanglement, and hence we expect that a proper adaptation of our results should apply to a large class of integrable systems. We also find that the number entropy grows logarithmically with time before saturating to a value proportional to the logarithm of the subsystem size.

Symmetry Resolution of Entanglement Measures in Free Fermionic Systems and Conformal Field Theories

Riccarda Bonsignori

Entanglement and symmetries are two pillars of our understanding of modern Physics, but surprisingly the study of the interplay between these two fundamental concepts has become the subject of an intense research area only in the last few years. In particular, the resolution of entanglement in the various symmetry sectors of a quantum many-body system with a global conserved charge gained a lot of interest within the entanglement community. As shown in some experimental papers, the study of this symmetry resolved entanglement is necessary for a better understanding of the non-equilibrium dynamics of quantum many-body systems. This Thesis is devoted to the study of the symmetry resolution of the entanglement measures in free fermionic systems and Conformal Field Theories. It is organised as follows. In Chap. 1 we give an overview of the main definitions and concepts related to the entanglement and its measures in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. Then, we specialize to the case of conformal field theories, to derive expressions of the entanglement entropy and negativity in all the cases that will be examined in the second part of the Thesis. We finally illustrate the main free-fermionic techniques that will be used to perform the analytical as well as numerical lattice calculations. In Chap. 2, we consider a $1$-dimensional system of free fermions hopping on a lattice, in which the conserved $U(1)$ charge is the total particle number. We evaluate the symmetry resolved R'enyi and entanglement entropies determining exactly all the non-universal constants and logarithmic corrections to the scaling, thanks to the so-called Fisher-Hartwig conjecture. In Chap. 3, we study the symmetry resolved entanglement entropies in $1$-dimensional systems in presence of boundaries, considering the cases of an interval starting from the boundary and disconnected from it. We evaluate the charged and symmetry resolved entropies for conformal invariant theories and a semi-infinite chain of free fermions, finding entanglement equipartition. Using a generalization of the lattice calculations performed in Chap. 2, we also evaluate the first term breaking equipartition for the free fermionic chain. In Chap. 4, we study the symmetry resolution of the entanglement negativity in free fermionic systems, which admits a decomposition in terms of the charge imbalance between the two subsystems. We use conformal field theory to derive the universal behavior of the charge imbalance resolved negativity for a free Dirac field at finite temperature and size. For the lattice version of the Dirac filed, we also determine exactly the model-dependent terms using the Fisher-Hartwig conjecture. We find that at leading order the charge imbalance resolved negativity verifies equipartition. For the lattice model, we also evaluate the first corrections to this equipartition. In Chap. 5, we study the time evolution of the symmetry resolved entanglement entropy and a suitably defined symmetry resolved mutual information in a system of free fermions after a quench. In the context of free fermions and conformal field theories, we are able to provide analytical results for the time-dependent charged and resolved entropies, and shed light on two new physical phenomena. First, the symmetry resolved R'enyi entropies start evolving with a calculable time delay that depends on the charge sector. Second, there is an effective equipartition of the entanglement in the limit of large subsystem size. For free fermions, we also find that effective equipartition is verified by the mutual information. We expect that these phenomena occur in more general quantum systems, as they can be understood from the quasiparticle picture for the spreading of entanglement. In the Appendix, we give an overview of conformal field theory, reporting the main concepts and formulas that are needed for a more complete understanding of the previous Chapters.

Detecting symmetry-resolved entanglement: A quantum Monte Carlo approach

Kuangjie Chen, Weizhen Jia, Xiaopeng Li +2 more

Symmetry and entanglement are two fundamental concepts in quantum many-body physics. Their interplay is captured by symmetry-resolved entanglement, which decomposes the total entanglement into contributions from different symmetry sectors. Computing symmetry-resolved entanglement in strongly interacting higher-dimensional quantum systems remains challenging. Here, we formulate and implement an estimator-based quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) framework for computing symmetry-resolved Rényi entropies (SRRE) in sign-problem-free interacting lattice systems by measuring disorder (symmetry-twisted) operators in ordinary and replica ensembles and reconstructing SRRE from the corresponding charged moments. We validate the framework in two controlled one-dimensional settings: the transverse-field Ising model (TFIM), for which exact conformal-field-theory predictions are available, and the interacting Heisenberg chain, which tests the U(1) U ( 1 ) symmetry-sector reconstruction and its finite-size behavior. We then apply the method to the two-dimensional TFIM. Within the accessible system sizes and a phenomenological finite-size extrapolation, our data provide numerical evidence consistent with entanglement equipartition at the (2+1) ( 2 + 1 ) D Ising critical point. Our work establishes a practical numerical route to symmetry-resolved entanglement in interacting lattice models and provides a framework for future studies beyond one dimension.

Symmetry-resolved entanglement entropy for local and non-local QFTs

Reza Pirmoradian, Mohammad Reza Tanhayi

Abstract In this paper, we investigate symmetry-resolved entanglement entropy (SREE) in free bosonic quantum many-body systems. Utilizing a lattice regularization scheme, we compute symmetry-resolved Rényi entropies for free complex scalar fields and a specific class of non-local field theories, where entanglement entropy (EE) exhibits volume-law scaling. We present effective and approximate eigenvalues for the correlation matrix used in computing SREE and demonstrate their consistency with numerical results. Furthermore, we explore the equipartition of EE, verifying its effective behavior in the massless limit. Finally, we comment on EE in non-local quantum field theories and provide an explicit expression for the symmetry-resolved Rényi entropies.
