Abstract
Zero energy eigenstates of the twisted bilayer graphene Hamiltonian at the Dirac point show a high sensitivity to the twist angle near the magic angles where the effective Fermi velocity vanishes. We use information theory markers, like fidelity-susceptibility and entanglement entropy of the reduced density matrix to the layer sector, to capture this quantum criticality of zero modes at magic twist angles.
