We study the relative entanglement entropy (EE) among various primary excited states in two critical spin chains: the S=1/2 XXZ chain and the transverse field Ising chain at criticality. For the S=1/2 XXZ chain, which corresponds to c=1 free boson conformal field theory (CFT), we numerically calculate the relative EE by exact diagonalization and find a perfect agreement with the predictions by the CFT. For the transverse field Ising chain at criticality, which corresponds to the c=1/2 Ising CFT, we analytically relate its relative EE to that of the S=1/2 XXZ chain and confirm the relation numerically. We also calculate the "sandwiched" R\'enyi relative EE and again the numerical results agree well with the analytical predictions. Our results are the first direct confirmation of the CFT predictions on the relative EE of the primary excited states in critical spin chains.

  1. Approximate Quantum Error Correction at Chiral Topological Edges

    quant-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Chiral edge codes have local-erasure robustness governed by power-law exponents with hierarchy γ≥α≥min{α,β}, so the 2D code is at least as robust as its 1D CFT reduction.

  2. Quantum Renyi relative entropies on a spin chain with interface defects

    cond-mat.stat-mech 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For a free-fermion chain with a hopping defect, the quantum Renyi relative entropies are expressed as a fitted formula that depends on the effective central charge and subsystem size.
