abstract

Similarly to the system Hamiltonian, a subsystem's reduced density matrix is composed of blocks characterized by symmetry quantum numbers (charge sectors). We present a geometric approach for extracting the contribution of individual charge sectors to the subsystem's entanglement measures within the replica trick method, via threading appropriate conjugate Aharonov-Bohm fluxes through a multi-sheet Riemann surface. Specializing to the case of 1+1D conformal field theory, we obtain general exact results for the entanglement entropies and spectrum, and apply them to a variety of systems, ranging from free and interacting fermions to spin and parafermion chains, and verify them numerically. We find that the total entanglement entropy, which scales as $\ln L$, is composed of $\sqrt{\ln L}$ contributions of individual subsystem charge sectors for interacting fermion chains, or even $\mathcal{O} (L^0)$ contributions when total spin conservation is also accounted for. We also explain how measurements of the contribution to the entanglement from separate charge sectors can be performed experimentally with existing techniques.

Symmetry-Resolved Entanglement Entropy from Heat Kernels

hep-th · 2025-11-03 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

An improved heat kernel framework with phase-factor reconstruction computes symmetry-resolved entanglement entropy for charged systems and derives a cMERA flow equation that agrees with CFT and holographic calculations.

Typical entanglement entropy with charge conservation

quant-ph · 2026-04-28 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Typical entanglement entropy with fixed global charge is given by the local thermal entropy at fixed charge density for both U(1) and SU(2) symmetries in the thermodynamic limit.

Entangling Power: A Probe of Symmetry and Integrability in Quantum Many-Body Systems

quant-ph · 2026-05-20 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Entangling power in Heisenberg spin chains shows a monotonic decrease with growing symmetry in small models, sharp dips at SU(2) and free-fermion points in finite chains, and vanishes at SU(2) points but maximizes at the free-fermion point in the thermodynamic limit for the S-matrix.
