An exponential deformation of 1D critical Hamiltonians gives rise to ground states whose entanglement entropy satisfies a volume-law. This effect is exemplified in the XX and Heisenberg models. In the XX case we characterize the crossover…
We study the quantum phase transitions (QPTs) in extended Kitaev chains with long-range ($1/r^{\alpha}$) hopping. Formally, there are two QPT points at $\mu=\mu_0(\alpha)$ and $\mu_\pi(\alpha)$ ($\mu$ is the chemical potential) which…
The topological phases of random Kitaev $\alpha$-chains are labelled by the number of localized edge Majorana Zero Modes. The critical lines between these phases thus correspond to delocalization transitions for these localized edge…
The entanglement entropy of a pure quantum state of a bipartite system $A \cup B$ is defined as the von Neumann entropy of the reduced density matrix obtained by tracing over one of the two parts. Critical ground states of local…
Using the diagonal entropy, we analyze the dynamical signatures of the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick (LMG) model excited-state quantum phase transition (ESQPT). We first show that the time evolution of the diagonal entropy behaves as an efficient…

We report the existence of \emph{flat bands} in a p-wave superconducting Kitaev ladder. We identify two sets of parameters for which the Kitaev ladder sustains flat bands. These flat bands are accompanied by highly localized eigenstates…

The entanglement entropy of a free scalar field in its ground state is dominated by an area law term. It is noteworthy, however, that the study of entanglement in scalar field theory has not advanced far beyond the ground state. In this…
We study the topological phase transitions of a Kitaev chain in the presence of geometric frustration caused by the addition of a single long-range hopping. The latter condition defines a legged-ring geometry (Kitaev tie) lacking of…
