Entanglement exhibits universal behavior near the ground-state critical point where correlations are long-ranged and the thermodynamic entropy is vanishing. On the other hand, a quantum quench imparts extensive energy and results in a…

In this paper I propose a branch point twist field approach to computing a temporal entropy, that is, an entanglement measure across different time regions, as opposed to the usual spacial measures. I discuss how the shift to…
We establish a general scaling law for the entanglement of a large class of ground states and dynamically evolving states of quantum spin chains: we show that the geometric entropy of a distinguished block saturates, and hence follows an…
