Entanglement spreading after local and extended excitations in a free-fermion chain
arXiv:2106.16105 · doi:10.1088/1751-8121/ac21e4
Abstract
We study the time evolution of entanglement created by local or extended excitations upon the ground state of a free-fermion chain. A single particle or hole excitation produces a single bit of excess entropy for large times and subsystem lengths. In case of a double hole, some of the coherence between the excitations is preserved and the excess entropy becomes additive only for large hole separations. In contrast, the coherence is always lost for particle-hole excitations. Multiple hole excitations on a completely filled chain are also investigated. We find that for an extended contiguous hole the excess entropy scales logarithmically with the size, whereas the increase is linear for finite separations between the holes.
