• Title: Time evolution of entanglement negativity across a defect
• Authors: Matthias Gruber and Viktor Eisler
• Abstract summary: We consider a quench in a free-fermion chain by joining two homogeneous half-chains via a defect. The time evolution of the entanglement negativity is studied between adjacent segments surrounding the defect. We also study a similar quench in the XXZ spin chain via density-matrix renormalization group methods.

• Abstract: We consider a quench in a free-fermion chain by joining two homogeneous half-chains via a defect. The time evolution of the entanglement negativity is studied between adjacent segments surrounding the defect. In case of equal initial fillings, the negativity grows logarithmically in time and essentially equals one-half of the R\'enyi mutual information with index $\alpha = 1/2$ in the limit of large segments. In sharp contrast, in the biased case one finds a linear increase followed by the saturation at an extensive value for both quantities, which is due to the backscattering from the defect and can be reproduced in a quasiparticle picture. Furthermore, a closer inspection of the subleading corrections reveals that the negativity and the mutual information have a small but finite difference in the steady state. Finally, we also study a similar quench in the XXZ spin chain via density-matrix renormalization group methods and compare the results for the negativity to the fermionic case.

• Reducing defect production in random transverse-field Ising chains by inhomogeneous driving fields [0.0]
  In transverse-field Ising models, disorder in the couplings gives rise to a drastic reduction of the critical energy gap. We show that the scaling of defect density with annealing time can be made algebraic by balancing the coupling disorder with suitably chosen driving fields. We also study defect production during an environment-temperature quench of the open variant of the model in which the system is slowly cooled down to its quantum critical point.
