Logarithmic divergence of the block entanglement entropy for the ferromagnetic Heisenberg model

Quantum Physics 2011-07-13 v1 Statistical Mechanics

Abstract

Recent studies have shown that logarithmic divergence of entanglement entropy as function of size of a subsystem is a signature of criticality in quantum models. We demonstrate that the ground state entanglement entropy of n n sites for ferromagnetic Heisenberg spin-1/2 chain of the length LL in a sector with fixed magnetization yy per site grows as 1/2log2n(Ln)LC(y){1/2}\log_{2} \frac{n(L-n)}{L}C(y), where C(y)=2πe(1/4y2)C(y)=2\pi e({1/4}-y^{2})
