We investigate entanglement entropy in a scalar field theory on the fuzzy sphere. The theory is realized by a matrix model. In our previous study, we confirmed that entanglement entropy in the free case is proportional to the square of the…
The degrees of freedom of any interacting quantum field theory are entangled in momentum space. Thus, in the vacuum state, the infrared degrees of freedom are described by a density matrix with an entanglement entropy. We derive a relation…

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…
Entanglement of fundamental degrees of freedom in particle physics is generated ab initio in scattering processes. In the case of a pure $SU(N)$ gauge theory, two gluons in a product state can be entangled in their polarizations as 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…

We consider a classical pure SU(2) gauge theory, and make an ansatz, which separates the space-temporal degrees of freedom from the internal ones. This ansatz is gauge-invariant but not Lorentz invariant. In a limit case of the ansatz,…
