This thesis uses a quantity that is defined and justified by information theory -- mutual information -- to examine models of condensed matter systems. More precisely, it studies models which are made up out of ferromagnetically interacting…
Understanding the dependence of entanglement entropy on the renormalized mass in quantum field theories can provide insight into phenomena such as quantum phase transitions, since the mass varies in a singular way near the transition. Here…
We consider the entanglement entropy in critical one-dimensional quantum systems with open boundary conditions. We show that the second R\'enyi entropy of an interval away from the boundary can be computed exactly, provided the same…
Standard entropy calculations in quantum field theory, when applied to a subsystem of definite volume, exhibit area-dependent UV divergences that make a thermodynamic interpretation troublesome. In this paper we define a renormalized…
In this paper we examine the average R\'{e}nyi entropy $S_{\alpha}$ of a subsystem $A$ when the whole composite system $AB$ is a random pure state. We assume that the Hilbert space dimensions of $A$ and $AB$ are $m$ and $m n$ respectively.…
We study the properties of pseudo entropy, a new generalization of entanglement entropy, in free Maxwell field theory in $d = 4$ dimension. We prepare excited states by the different components of the field strengths located at different…

The entropic moments of the probability density of a quantum system in position and momentum spaces describe not only some fundamental and/or experimentally accessible quantities of the system, but also the entropic uncertainty measures of…
Recent work on non proper-gauge degrees of freedom in the context of the Casimir effect is reviewed. In his original paper, Casimir starts by pointing out that, when the electromagnetic field is confined between two perfectly conducting…
Characterizing complexity and criticality in quantum systems requires diagnostics that are both computationally tractable and physically insightful. We apply a measure of quantum state complexity for n-qubit systems, defined as the…
The entanglement entropy in a quantum field theory between two regions of space has been shown in simple cases to be proportional to the volume of the hypersurface separating the regions. We prove that this is true for a free scalar field…
We take the paradigm of interacting spin chains, the Heisenberg spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ XXZ model, as a reference system and consider interacting models that are related to it by Jordan-Wigner transformations and restrictions to sub-chains. An…
We consider the reduced density matrix for a disc in the ground state of the interacting fixed points of the large-N O(N) vector model in 2+1 dimensions. Using the map to the free energy on $\mathbb{H}_2 \times S^1$, we show that there is…
Studies of random unitary circuits have shown that the calculation of Renyi entropies of entanglement can be mapped to classical statistical mechanics problems in spacetime. In this paper, we develop an analogous spacetime picture of…
We study the entanglement entropy and the mutual information in coupled harmonic systems at finite temperature. Interestingly, we find that the mutual information does not vanish at infinite temperature, but it rather reaches a specific…
Momentum space entanglement entropy probes quantum correlations in interacting fermionic phases. It is very sensitive to interactions, obeying volume-law scaling in general, while vanishing in the Fermi gas. We show that the R\'enyi entropy…
We consider 3d N>= 2 superconformal field theories on a branched covering of a three-sphere. The Renyi entropy of a CFT is given by the partition function on this space, but conical singularities break the supersymmetry preserved in the…
The electronic density \rho(r) in atoms, molecules and solids is, in general, a distribution that can be observed experimentally, containing spatial information projected from the total wave function. These density distributions can be…
