Using free-fermionic techniques we study the entanglement entropy of a block of contiguous spins in a large finite quantum Ising chain in a transverse field, with couplings of different types: homogeneous, periodically modulated and random.…
Frustration-free (FF) spin chains have a property that their ground state minimizes all individual terms in the chain Hamiltonian. We ask how entangled the ground state of a FF quantum spin-s chain with nearest-neighbor interactions can be…
We study the effects of a power-law trapping potential on the scaling behaviour of the entanglement at the quantum critical point of one-dimensional (1D) lattice particle systems. We compute bipartite von Neumann and Renyi entropies in the…
The emergence of a collective behavior in a many-body system is responsible of the quantum criticality separating different phases of matter. Interacting spin systems in a magnetic field offer a tantalizing opportunity to test different…
It is known that the entropy of a block of spins of size $L$ embedded in an infinite pure critical spin chain diverges as the logarithm of $L$ with a prefactor fixed by the central charge of the corresponding conformal field theory. For a…
We study the entanglement of two disjoint blocks in spin-1/2 chains obtained by merging solvable models, such as XX and quantum Ising models. We focus on the universal quantities that can be extracted from the R\'enyi entropies S_\alpha.…
Entanglement measures such as the entanglement entropy have become an indispensable tool to identify the fundamental character of ground states of interacting quantum many-body systems. For systems of interacting spin or bosonic degrees of…
We study the entanglement in the ground state of a chain of free spinless fermions with a single side-coupled impurity. We find a logarithmic scaling for the entanglement entropy of a segment neighboring the impurity. The prefactor of the…
We construct and study a class of N particle supersymmetric Hamiltonians with nearest and next-nearest neighbor inverse-square interaction in one dimension. We show that inhomogeneous XY models in an external non-uniform magnetic field can…
We consider fermionic chains where the two halves are either metals with different bandwidths or a metal and an insulator. Both are coupled together by a special bond. We study the ground-state entanglement entropy between the two pieces,…
Motivated by cold-atom experiments and a desire to understand far-from-equilibrium quantum transport, we analytically study the dynamics of spin helices in the one-dimensional $XX$ model. We use a Jordan-Wigner transformation to map the…
In this PhD thesis we investigate some properties of one-dimensional quantum systems, focusing on two important aspects of integrable models: Their entanglement properties at equilibrium and their dynamical correlators after a quantum…
Using exact continuous quantum Monte Carlo techniques, we study the zero and finite temperature properties of a system of harmonically trapped one dimensional spin 1/2 fermions with short range interactions. Motivated by experimental…
We study the scaling of the Renyi entanglement entropy of two disjoint blocks of critical lattice models described by conformal field theories with central charge c=1. We provide the analytic conformal field theory result for the second…
Results are presented for the nonequilibrium dynamics of a quantum $XXZ$-spin chain whose spins are initially arranged in a domain wall profile via the application of a magnetic field in the $z$-direction which is spatially varying along…
We study the spreading of entanglement produced by the time evolution of a local fermionic excitation created above the ground state of the XXZ chain. The resulting entropy profiles are investigated via density-matrix renormalization group…
Random Dirac fermions in a two-dimensional space are studied numerically. We realize them on a square lattice using the $\pi$-flux model with random hopping. The system preserves two symmetries, the time-reversal symmetry and the symmetry…
Studies of random unitary circuits have shown that the calculation of Renyi entropies of entanglement can be mapped to classical statistical mechanics problems in spacetime. In this paper, we develop an analogous spacetime picture of…
The ground state of a free-fermionic chain with inhomogeneous hoppings at half-filling can be mapped into the Dirac vacuum on a static curved space-time, which presents exactly homogeneous occupations due to particle-hole symmetry. Yet, far…
We analyse the antiferromagnetic spin-$1/2$ XXZ model on the kagome lattice at finite external magnetic field with the help of a nonperturbative zero-temperature renormalization group (RG) technique. Following the work of Kumar \emph{et al}…
