Worldline deconfinement and emergent long-range interaction in the entanglement Hamiltonian and in the entanglement spectrum
arXiv:2506.10078 · doi:10.1103/69gq-s9j8
Abstract
The entanglement spectrum (ES) is a powerful tool for probing topological phases. While its behavior in gapped systems is well understood, its properties in gapless regimes remain unclear. In this work, we employ a quantum Monte Carlo method to study the ES of a two-dimensional square-octagon lattice Heisenberg model at quantum criticality and in the Néel phase. We find that the ES exhibits an M-shape magnon mode with a distinct sublinear dispersion, deviating from the conventional linear magnon. This behavior, similar to that of a one-dimensional long-range Heisenberg chain, reveals the emergence of relevant long-range interactions in the entanglement Hamiltonian. We demonstrate that the mechanism underlying short- and long-range interactions in the entanglement Hamiltonian can be interpreted as the confinement/deconfinement of worldlines in the path integral formulation. Our results reveal that gapless modes can fundamentally change the entanglement Hamiltonian and its spectrum, thereby offering insight into this general phenomenon.
