Entanglement from Charge Statistics: Exact Relations for Many-Body Systems
arXiv:1008.5191 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.83.161408
Abstract
We present exact formulas for the entanglement and Rényi entropies generated at a quantum point contact (QPC) in terms of the statistics of charge fluctuations, which we illustrate with examples from both equilibrium and non-equilibrium transport. The formulas are also applicable to groundstate entanglement in systems described by non-interacting fermions in any dimension, which in one dimension includes the critical spin-1/2 XX and Ising models where conformal field theory predictions for the entanglement and Rényi entropies are reproduced from the full counting statistics. These results may play a crucial role in the experimental detection of many-body entanglement in mesoscopic structures and cold atoms in optical lattices.
