A quantum state's entanglement across a bipartite cut can be quantified with entanglement entropy or, more generally, Schmidt norms. Using only Schmidt decompositions, we present a simple iterative algorithm to maximize Schmidt norms.…

It is generally believed that in spatial dimension d > 1 the leading contribution to the entanglement entropy S = - tr rho_A log rho_A scales as the area of the boundary of subsystem A. The coefficient of this "area law" is non-universal.…
We set up a Chern-Simons theory for the entanglement of two polymers P_1 and P_2, and calculate the second topological moment <m^2>, where m is the linking number. The result applies approximately to a polymer in an ensemble of many others,…
