Intersublattice entanglement entropy as an extensive property in antiferromagnets

Recent advancements in our understanding of ordered magnets call for a quantification of their entanglement content on an equal footing with classical thermodynamic quantities, such as the total magnetic moment. We evaluate the entanglement entropy (EE) between the two sublattices of a bipartite ord...

Resumo:Recent advancements in our understanding of ordered magnets call for a quantification of their entanglement content on an equal footing with classical thermodynamic quantities, such as the total magnetic moment. We evaluate the entanglement entropy (EE) between the two sublattices of a bipartite ordered antiferromagnet, finding it to scale with volume. Thus, the EE density becomes an intensive property and is evaluated to be a universal dimensionality-dependent constant when exchange is the dominant interaction. Our analytic results are validated against the DMRG-based analysis of a one-dimensional (1D) system, finding good agreement. Furthermore, our evaluated EE per bond provides a useful shortcut towards obtaining the central-cut EE in 1D, and the area law in higher-dimensional magnets
