We present a path integral formalism for expressing matrix elements of the density matrix of a quantum many-body system between any two coherent states in terms of standard Matsubara action with periodic(anti-periodic) boundary conditions on bosonic(fermionic) fields. We show that this enables us to express several entanglement measures for bosonic/fermionic many-body systems described by a Gaussian action in terms of the Matsubara Green function. We apply this formalism to compute various…

Measuring entanglement entropy in a quantum many-body system

Making use of the single-site-resolved control of ultracold bosonic atoms in optical lattices, two identical copies of a many-body state are prepared and interfered to directly measure quantum purity, Rényi entanglement entropy, and mutual information.

Area laws for the entanglement entropy - a review

Physical interactions in quantum many-body systems are typically local: Individual constituents interact mainly with their few nearest neighbors. This locality of interactions is inherited by a decay…

Nonequilibrium field theory for dynamics starting from arbitrary athermal initial conditions

Schwinger Keldysh field theory is a widely used paradigm to study non-equilibrium dynamics of quantum many-body systems starting from a thermal state. We extend this formalism to describe…

Entanglement entropy and quantum field theory

We carry out a systematic study of entanglement entropy in relativistic quantum field theory. This is defined as the von Neumann entropy SA = −Tr ρAlogρA corresponding to the reduced density matrix…

Entanglement Entropy across the Superfluid-Insulator Transition: A Signature of Bosonic Criticality.

The entanglement properties contain a unique signature of the two different forms of bosonic criticality exhibited by the Bose-Hubbard model, found that the area-law scaling of entanglements-verified in all the phases-exhibits a sharp singularity at the transition.

Reduced density matrices and entanglement entropy in free lattice models

We review the properties of reduced density matrices for free fermionic or bosonic many-particle systems in their ground state. Their basic feature is that they have a thermal form and thus lead to a…

Nonequilibrium dynamics of the Bose-Hubbard model: a projection-operator approach.

A projection-operator formalism is used which allows us to incorporate the effects of quantum fluctuations beyond mean-field approximations in the strong-coupling regime and yields a phase diagram which provides a near exact match with quantum Monte Carlo results in three dimensions.

Partial time-reversal transformation and entanglement negativity in fermionic systems

The partial transpose of density matrices in many-body quantum systems, in which one takes the transpose only for a subsystem of the full Hilbert space, has been recognized as a useful tool to…
