Entanglement properties of Floquet-Chern insulators
Abstract
Results are presented for the entanglement entropy and spectrum of half-filled graphene following the switch on of a circularly polarized laser. The laser parameters are chosen to correspond to several different Floquet-Chern insulator phases. The entanglement properties of the unitarily evolved wave functions are compared with the state where one of the Floquet bands is completely occupied. The true states show a volume law for the entanglement, whereas the Floquet states show an area law. Qualitative differences are found in the entanglement properties of the off-resonant and on-resonant laser. Edge states are found in the entanglement spectrum corresponding to certain physical edge states expected in a Chern insulator. However, some edge states that would be expected from the Floquet band structure are missing from the entanglement spectrum. An analytic theory is developed for the long-time structure of the entanglement spectrum. Finally, it is argued that only edge states corresponding to off-resonant processes appear in the entanglement spectrum.
