A system of fermions forming a Fermi surface exhibits a large degree of quantum entanglement, even in the absence of interactions. In particular, the usual case of a codimension one Fermi surface leads to a logarithmic violation of the area…
We consider a quantum system of large size $N$ and its subsystem of size $L$ assuming that $N$ is much larger than $L$, which can also be sufficiently large, i.e., $1 \ll L \lesssim N $. A widely accepted mathematical version of this…

Entanglement entropy for a spatial partition of a quantum system is studied in theories which admit a dual description in terms of the anti-de Sitter (AdS) gravity one dimension higher. A general proof of the holographic formula which…
We review aspects of entanglement entropy in the quantum mechanics of $N\times N$ matrices, i.e. matrix quantum mechanics (MQM), at large $N$. In doing so we review standard models of MQM and their relation to string theory, D-brane…

To understand an emergent spacetime is to understand the emergence of locality. Entanglement entropy is a powerful diagnostic of locality, because locality leads to a large amount of short distance entanglement. Two dimensional string…
In local quantum field theory, the entanglement entropy of a region is divergent due to the arbitrary short-wavelength correlations near the boundary of the region. Quantum gravitational fluctuations are expected to cut off the entropy of…
We elucidate the topological features of the entanglement entropy of a region in two dimensional quantum systems in a topological phase with a finite correlation length $\xi$. Firstly, we suggest that simpler reduced quantities, related to…
We study different aspects of quantum entanglement and its measures, including entanglement entropy in the vacuum state of a certain Lifshitz scalar theory. We present simple intuitive arguments based on "non-local" effects of this theory…

The fermionization regime and entanglement correlations of two distinguishable harmonically confined fermions interacting via a zero-range potential is addressed. We present two alternative representations of the ground state that we…
We investigate the entanglement entropy in the Integer Quantum Hall effect in the presence of an edge, performing an exact calculation directly from the microscopic two-dimensional wavefunction. The edge contribution is shown to coincide…
We show how the area law for the entanglement entropy may be violated by free fermions on a lattice and look for conditions leading to the emergence of a volume law. We give an explicit construction of the states with maximal entanglement…
We consider the relationship between correlations and entanglement in gapped quantum systems, with application to matrix product state representations. We prove that there exist gapped one-dimensional local Hamiltonians such that the…
We introduce a "renormalized entanglement entropy" which is intrinsically UV finite and is most sensitive to the degrees of freedom at the scale of the size R of the entangled region. We illustrated the power of this construction by showing…
We show that entanglement entropy of free fermions scales faster then area law, as opposed to the scaling $L^{d-1}$ for the harmonic lattice, for example. We also suggest and provide evidence in support of an explicit formula for the…
Entanglement entropy has proven to be an extremely useful concept in quantum field theory. Gauge theories are of particular interest, but for these systems the entanglement entropy is not clearly defined because the physical Hilbert space…
