Entanglement Scaling in the One-Dimensional Hubbard Model at Criticality

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2009-11-11 v4 Statistical Mechanics Quantum Physics

Abstract

We derive exact expressions for the local entanglement entropy 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 u. The leading divergences of dE/dh and dE/du 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.
