Abstract

We investigate the growth of the entanglement entropy SentS_{\textrm{ent}} following global quenches in two-dimensional free fermion models with potential and bond disorder. For the potential disorder case we show that an intermediate weak localization regime exists in which Sent(t)S_{\textrm{ent}}(t) grows logarithmically in time tt before Anderson localization sets in. For the case of binary bond disorder near the percolation transition we find additive logarithmic corrections to area and volume laws as well as a scaling at long times which is consistent with an infinite randomness fixed point.
