Entanglement entropy in random quantum spin- S chains

A. Saguia, M. S. Sarandy, B. Boechat +1 more

We discuss the scaling of entanglement entropy in the random singlet phase (RSP) of disordered quantum magnetic chains of general spin $S$. Through an analysis of the general structure of the RSP, we show that the entanglement entropy scales logarithmically with the size of a block, and we provide a closed expression for this scaling. This result is applicable for arbitrary quantum spin chains in the RSP, being dependent only on the magnitude $S$ of the spin. Remarkably, the logarithmic scaling holds for the disordered chain even if the pure chain with no disorder does not exhibit conformal invariance, as is the case for Heisenberg integer-spin chains. Our conclusions are supported by explicit evaluations of the entanglement entropy for random spin-1 and spin-$3∕2$ chains using an asymptotically exact real-space renormalization group approach.

Effects of randomness in gapped antiferromagnetic quantum spin chains

Kun Yang, R. A. Hyman, R. N. Bhatt +1 more

The effects of bond randomness are studied for spin chains with excitation gaps in the pure case. Systems with enforced topological structure like the spin-1/2 chain with enforced dimerization and spin-1 chain in the Haldane gapped phase appear very stable against randomness. On the other hand, systems with spontaneously generated topological order like the spin-1/2 chain with spontaneous dimerization are found to be unstable even for weak randomness despite the gap.

We discuss the scaling of entanglement entropy in the random singlet phase (RSP) of disordered quantum magnetic chains of general spin SSS. Through an analysis of the general structure of the RSP, we show that the entanglement entropy scales logarithmically with the size of a block, and we provide a closed expression for this scaling. This result is applicable for arbitrary quantum spin chains in the RSP, being dependent only on the magnitude SSS of the spin. Remarkably, the logarithmic scaling holds for the disordered chain even if the pure chain with no disorder does not exhibit conformal invariance, as is the case for Heisenberg integer-spin chains. Our conclusions are supported by explicit evaluations of the entanglement entropy for random spin-1 and spin-3∕23∕23∕2 chains using an asymptotically exact real-space renormalization group approach.
