Geometric entanglement in the Laughlin wave function
arXiv:1610.03904 · doi:10.1088/1367-2630/aa7e72
Abstract
We study numerically the geometric entanglement in the Laughlin wave function, which is of great importance in condensed matter physics. The Slater determinant having the largest overlap with the Laughlin wave function is constructed by an iterative algorithm. The logarithm of the overlap, which is a geometric quantity, is then taken as a geometric measure of entanglement. It is found that the geometric entanglement is a linear function of the number of electrons to a good extent. This is especially the case for the lowest Laughlin wave function, namely the one with filling factor of . Surprisingly, the linear behavior extends well down to the smallest possible value of the electron number, namely, . The constant term does not agree with the expected topological entropy.
