Rényi entropy and negativity for massless complex boson at conformal interfaces and junctions
arXiv:2208.14118 · doi:10.1007/JHEP11(2022)105
Abstract
We consider the ground state of a theory composed by species of massless complex bosons in one dimension coupled together via a conformal interface. We compute both the Rényi entropy and the negativity of a generic partition of wires, generalizing the approach developed in a recent work for free fermions. These entanglement measures show a logarithmic growth with the system size, and the universal prefactor depends both on the details of the interface and the bipartition. We test our analytical predictions against exact numerical results for the harmonic chain.
