abstract

In these proceedings we give a pedagogical and non-technical introduction to the Quantum Field Theory approach to entanglement entropy. Particular attention is devoted to the one space dimensional case, with a linear dispersion relation, that, at a quantum critical point, can be effectively described by a two-dimensional Conformal Field Theory.

Mutual Information from Modular Flow in General CFTs

hep-th · 2026-04-21 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

A hierarchy of approximations to the mutual information in CFTs is derived from modular flow and two-point functions of primaries, providing a high-precision formula for arbitrary ball separations that supersedes previous long-distance expansions.

$BMS_3$-like algebras via the $Z_N$-graded $u(1)^2$ Kac-Moody algebra

hep-th · 2026-06-28 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Compactification of the non-compact algebraic varieties of Z_N-graded Sugawara constructions on u(1)^2 Kac-Moody yields BMS3-like algebras Vir ⋊ F with F nilpotent of depth r < N for N>2, with depth tied to singularity order.

Testing the ${\rm ER=EPR}$ conjecture with entangled photons

gr-qc · 2026-06-01 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Regularizing the Aichelburg-Sexl metric for entangled photons produces a zero-throat wormhole geometry realizing ER=EPR, with gravitational self-energy scaling as 4G(ℏω)²/(c⁴L) ln(d²/l₀²) and matching an entanglement-entropy calculation.
