Abstract

We study the entanglement properties of random XX spin 1/21/2 chains at an arbitrary temperature TT using random partitioning, where sites of a size-varying subsystem are chosen randomly with a uniform probability pp, and then an average over subsystem possibilities is taken. We show analytically and numerically, using the approximate method of real space renormalization group, that random partitioning entanglement entropy for the XX spin chain of size LL behaves like EE(T,p)=a(T,p)L(T,p) = a(T,p) L at an arbitrary temperature TT with a uniform probability pp, i.e., it obeys volume law. We demonstrate that a(T,p)=ln(2)Ps+Ptp(1p)a(T,p) = \ln(2) \langle P_s + P_{t_{\uparrow\downarrow}} \rangle p(1-p), where PsP_s and PtP_{t_{\uparrow\downarrow}} are the average probabilities of having singlet and triplet_{\uparrow\downarrow} in the entire system, respectively. We also study the temperature dependence of pre-factor a(T,p)a(T,p). We show that EE with random partitioning reveals both short- and long-range correlations in the entire system.
