Entanglement Scaling in the One-Dimensional Hubbard Model at Criticality
Daniel Larsson, Henrik Johannesson
Abstract
We derive exact expressions for the local entanglement entropy $\mathcal{E}$ in the ground state of the one-dimensional Hubbard model at a quantum phase transition driven by a change in magnetic field $h$ or chemical potential $\ensuremath{\mu}$. The leading divergences of $\ensuremath{\partial}\mathcal{E}/\ensuremath{\partial}h$ and $\ensuremath{\partial}\mathcal{E}/\ensuremath{\partial}\ensuremath{\mu}$ are shown to be directly related to those of the zero-temperature spin and charge susceptibilities. Logarithmic corrections to scaling signal a change in the number of local states accessible to the system as it undergoes the transition.
