Towards Entanglement Entropy of Random Large-N Theories

Abstract

A large class of strongly correlated quantum systems can be described in certain large-N limits by quadratic in field actions along with self-consistency equations that determine the two-point functions. We use the replica approach and the notion of shifted Matsubara frequency to compute von Neumann and Rényi entanglement entropies for generic bi-partitioning of such systems. We argue that the von Neumann entropy can be computed from equilibrium spectral functions w/o partitioning, while the Rényi entropy requires re-calculating the spectrum in the interacting case. We demonstrate the flexibility of the method by applying it to examples of a two-site problem in presence of decoherence, and coupled Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev models.
