Entanglement Mean Field Theory and the Curie-Weiss Law

Abstract

The mean field theory, in its different hues, form one of the most useful tools for calculating the single-body physical properties of a many-body system. It provides important information, like critical exponents, of the systems that do not yield to an exact analytical treatment. Here we propose an entanglement mean field theory (EMFT) to obtain the behavior of the two-body physical properties of such systems. We apply this theory to predict the phases in paradigmatic strongly correlated systems, viz. the transverse anisotropic XY, the transverse XX, and the Heisenberg models. We find the critical exponents of different physical quantities in the EMFT limit, and in the case of the Heisenberg model, we obtain the Curie-Weiss law for correlations. While the exemplary models have all been chosen to be quantum ones, classical many-body models also render themselves to such a treatment, at the level of correlations.
