Characterizing entanglement entropy produced by nonlinear scalar interactions during inflation

Journal Article Mazur, Dan ; Heyl, Jeremy S - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The density fluctuations that we observe in the universe today are thought to originate from quantum fluctuations produced during a phase of the early universe called inflation. By evolving a wave function describing two coupled Fourier modes of a scalar field forward through an inflationary epoch, we demonstrate that nonlinear effects can result in a generation of entanglement entropy between modes with different momenta in a scalar field during the inflationary period when just one of the modes is observed. Through this mechanism, the field would experience decoherence and appear more like a classical distribution today; however the mechanism ismore »« less

Statistical entropies of scalar and spinor fields in Vaidya--de Sitter space-time computed by the thin-layer method

Journal Article He, Feng ; Zhao, Zheng ; Kim, Sung-Won - Physical Review D

The brick-wall method based on thermal equilibrium at a large scale cannot be applied to cases out of equilibrium, such as nonstationary space-time with two horizons, for example, Vaidya--de Sitter space-time. We improve the brick-wall method and propose a thin-layer method. The entropies of scalar and spinor fields in Vaidya--de Sitter space-time are calculated by the thin-layer method. The condition of local equilibrium near the two horizons is used as a working postulate and is maintained for a black hole which evaporates slowly enough and whose mass is far greater than the Planck scale. There are two horizons in Vaidya--demore »« less

Effect of the time-dependent coupling on a superconducting qubit-field system under decoherence: Entanglement and Wehrl entropy

Journal Article Abdel-Khalek, S., E-mail: sayedquantum@yahoo.co.uk ; The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Strada Costiera 11, Miramare-Trieste ; Berrada, K. ; ... - Annals of Physics

The dynamics of a superconducting (SC) qubit interacting with a field under decoherence with and without time-dependent coupling effect is analyzed. Quantum features like the collapse–revivals for the dynamics of population inversion, sudden birth and sudden death of entanglement, and statistical properties are investigated under the phase damping effect. Analytic results for certain parametric conditions are obtained. We analyze the influence of decoherence on the negativity and Wehrl entropy for different values of the physical parameters. We also explore an interesting relation between the SC-field entanglement and Wehrl entropy behavior during the time evolution. We show that the amount ofmore »« less

Entanglement entropy of coupled conformal field theories and Fermi liquids

Journal Article Cenke, Xu - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

In this paper, we calculate the entanglement Renyi entropy of two coupled gapless systems in general spatial dimension d. The gapless systems can be either conformal field theories or Fermi liquids. We assume the two systems are coupled uniformly in an h-dimensional submanifold of the space, with 0{<=}h{<=}d. We will focus on the scaling of the Renyi entropy with the size of the system, and its scaling with the intersystem coupling constant g. Three approaches will be used for our calculation: (1) exact calculation with ground-state wave functional, (2) perturbative calculation with functional path integral, and (3) scaling argument.
