Tensor renormalization group approach to entanglement entropy

Abstract

We propose a method to compute the entanglement entropy (EE) using the tensor renormalization group (TRG) method. The reduced density matrix of a dd-dimensional quantum system is represented as a (d+1)(d+1)-dimensional tensor network. We develop an explicit algorithm for d=1d=1 that enables the calculation of EE for single-interval subsystems of arbitrary size. We test our method in two-dimensional tensor network of the Ising model. The central charge is obtained as c=0.49997(8)c=0.49997(8) for D=96D=96, which agrees with the theoretical prediction within an error, demonstrating the accuracy and reliability of our proposed method.
