Renyi Entropies of Interacting Fermions from Determinantal Quantum Monte Carlo Simulations

Abstract

Entanglement measures such as the entanglement entropy have become an indispensable tool to identify the fundamental character of ground states of interacting quantum many-body systems. For systems of interacting spin or bosonic degrees of freedom much recent progress has been made not only in the analytical description of their respective entanglement entropies but also in their numerical classification. Systems of interacting fermionic degrees of freedom however have proved to be more difficult to control, in particular with regard to the numerical understanding of their entanglement properties. Here we report a generalization of the replica technique for the calculation of Renyi entropies to the framework of determinantal Quantum Monte Carlo simulations -- the numerical method of choice for unbiased, large-scale simulations of interacting fermionic systems. We demonstrate the strength of this approach over a recent alternative proposal based on a decomposition in free fermion Green's functions by studying the entanglement entropy of one-dimensional Hubbard systems both at zero and finite temperatures.
