Reconstructing Entanglement Hamiltonian via Entanglement Eigenstates

arXiv:1806.08060 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.99.235109

Abstract

The entanglement Hamiltonian , defined through the reduced density matrix of a subsystem , is an important concept in understanding the nature of quantum entanglement in many-body systems and quantum field theories. In this work, we explore a numerical scheme which explicitly reconstructs the entanglement Hamiltonian using one entangled mode (i.e., an eigenstate) of . We demonstrate and benchmark this scheme on quantum spin lattice models. The resulting bears a form similar to a physical Hamiltonian with spatially varying couplings, which allows us to make quantitative comparison with perturbation theory and conformal field theory.
