Renyi Entropy of the Interacting Fermi Liquid

arXiv:1207.4188 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.87.081108

Abstract

We perform quantum Monte Carlo calculations to determine how the Renyi entropies, , of the interacting Fermi liquid depend on Renyi order, , and scale as a function of system size, . Using the swap operator and an accurate Slater-Jastrow wave function, we compute Renyi entropies for spinless fermions interacting via the Coulomb and modified Pöschl-Teller potentials across a range of correlation strengths. Our results show that interactions increase the Renyi entropies and increase the prefactor of their scaling laws. The relationships between Renyi entropies of different order are also modified. Additionally, we investigate the effect of the swap operator on the Fermi liquid wave function to determine the source of the scaling form.
