We study the time evolution of the R\'enyi entanglement entropies following a quantum quench in a two-dimensional (2D) free-fermion system. By employing dimensional reduction, we effectively transform the 2D problem into decoupled chains, a technique applicable when the system exhibits translational invariance in one direction. Various initial configurations are examined, revealing that the behavior of entanglement entropies can often be explained by adapting the one-dimensional quasiparticle picture. However, intriguingly, for specific initial states the entanglement entropy saturates to a finite value without the reduced density matrix converging to a stationary state. We discuss the conditions necessary for a stationary state to exist and delve into the necessary modifications to the quasiparticle picture when such a state is absent.

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the Federbush model, branch-point twist field form factors and first-order quench corrections are independent of the topological coupling λ, so Rényi entropies of the infinite-volume vacuum match two free Dirac fermions.

  2. The Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis in a Quantum Point Contact Geometry

    cond-mat.stat-mech 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    For two free-fermion lattices connected by a few quantum point contacts, the entanglement entropy of typical excited eigenstates grows only linearly with subsystem size, not extensively.
