abstract

In conformal field theories, in contrast to \emph{adding} some auxiliary states into the bipartite mixed state $\rho_{AB}$ as the usual purifications do, we show a pure entangled state $\psi_{AB}$ can be constructed by \emph{subtracting} the undetectable regions. In this pure state $\psi_{AB}$, the von Neumann entropy $S_{\text{vN}}(A)$ naturally captures quantum entanglement between $A$ and $B$. We verify that $S_{\text{vN}}(A)$ is equal to the entanglement wedge cross-section $E_{W}$ in AdS spacetime, which is conjectured to be the holographic dual of the entanglement of purification. We show such constructed entanglement entropy has a phase transition. The ordinary entanglement entropies of critical and non-critical QFTs are simply limits of the two phases.

    In a free scalar lattice model, numerical calculations show Rényi entanglement of purification is at least half the Rényi reflected entropy for 0 < n < 2 in the small subsystems tested.

  4. Mixed state entanglement in deformed field theory at finite temperature

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    For a TTbar-deformed CFT at finite temperature, the EWCS and holographic entanglement negativity both decrease as the deformation parameter grows, just as they do when temperature increases.
