Entanglement entropy with interface defects

Statistical Mechanics 2009-11-11 v1

Abstract

We consider a section of a half-filled chain of free electrons and its entanglement with the rest of the system in the presence of one or two interface defects. We find a logarithmic behaviour of the entanglement entropy with constants depending continuously on the defect strength.
