Area law for the entanglement entropy ο± Simple (hand-waving!) argument Pure state π , ground state of some local Hamiltonian in β’ spatial dimension π . Asumme that all connected correlation functions in π β’ decay exponentially in space, with some finite correlation length π β’ Subsystem: some spatial region π΅ of typical size L β« π . ( πΆ =complement of π΅ ). L Assume that the entanglement between π΅ and πΆ β’ is entirely due to local correlations (not a very precise statementβ¦) A ο Correlations between degrees of freedom located inside π΅ do not contribute to π π΅ . Same for correlations inside the region πΆ . π ο The only contributions to the entanglement entropy π π΅ are B those originating from correlations taking place across the boundary between A and B β Area/ Boundary law for the entanglement entropy : π π΅ ~size of ππ΅ ~π πβ1 28

Remark about the area law & entanglement spectrum ο± π π΅ = thermodynamic entropy of the entanglement spectrum πΉ π (by definition) Assume these πΉ π are energies of some βfictitious systemβ associated to the bi - partition A/B. ο± Since π π΅ ~π πβ1 can be interpreted as a βvolume lawβ (as usual for thermodynamic entropy) for a system in π β 1 spatial dimension, the βfictitious systemβ probably lives at the boundary between A & B . We will see a few explicit examples later (βbulk - edge correspondenceβ) Note: this is consistent with the fact that the spectrum of π π΅ (hence the πΉ π ) is unchanged if we exchange A and B. ο± If the number of Schmidt eigenvalues which contribute to entropy is a finite fraction of the dimension dim (πΌ π΅ ) (assume region B is much larger, for simplicity) , we expect a volume-law behavior. If, instead, π π΅ ~π πβ1 , then we expect that most of the eigenvalues of π π΅ are much smaller than 1/dim (πΌ π΅ ) . 30
Mutual information ο± Definition: π΅ π½ π΅: πΆ = π π A + π π πΆ β π π AB πΆ (with π π = βTr π log π ) . ο± Alternatively: π½ π΅: πΆ = Tr π AB log π AB β log π A β¨π πΆ ο± Thanks to the sub-additivity of the Von Neumann entropy we have π½ π΅: πΆ β₯ 0 . 1 2 (=Pinsker inequality). A stronger result is: π½ π΅: πΆ β₯ 2 π AB β π A β¨π πΆ 1 β π½ π΅: πΆ can be viewed as some kind of βdistanceβ between π AB and π A β¨π πΆ . In particular: π½ π΅: πΆ = 0 β π AB = π A β¨π πΆ . ο± π½ π΅: πΆ measures the total amount of correlations between A and B. Indeed, π½ π΅: πΆ can be shown (using the Pinsker inequality above β exercise !) to give a bound on correlators: 2 π π΅ π πΆ β π π΅ π πΆ π½ π΅: πΆ β₯ 2 π πΆ 1 2 2 π π΅ 1 ο± π½ π΅: πΆ = 0 then all correlations between π΅ and πΆ must vanish. If π½ π΅: πΆ decays exponentially with their distance, it will be also the case for any correlation between π΅ and πΆ . ο± Remark 1: if π΅πΆ is in a pure state ( π AB = π π ) we have π π AB = 0 . So: π½ π΅: πΆ = 2π π A = 2π π B is equivalent to the Von Neumann entropy. ο± Remark 2: the βvolumeβ contributions to the entropy cancel out in π½ π΅: πΆ . β An area law is expected (see next slide) 31
