• Abstract summary: Relative entropy is investigated in several cases in quantum field theories. We derive a high energy bound on the relative entropy using known bounds on the elastic differential cross-sections in massive QFTs. Definite sign properties are found for the relative entropy which are over and above the usual positivity of relative entropy in certain cases.

• Abstract: We consider entanglement measures in 2-2 scattering in quantum field theories, focusing on relative entropy which distinguishes two different density matrices. Relative entropy is investigated in several cases which include $\phi^4$ theory, chiral perturbation theory ($\chi PT$) describing pion scattering and dilaton scattering in type II superstring theory. We derive a high energy bound on the relative entropy using known bounds on the elastic differential cross-sections in massive QFTs. In $\chi PT$, relative entropy close to threshold has simple expressions in terms of ratios of scattering lengths. Definite sign properties are found for the relative entropy which are over and above the usual positivity of relative entropy in certain cases. We then turn to the recent numerical investigations of the S-matrix bootstrap in the context of pion scattering. By imposing these sign constraints and the $\rho$ resonance, we find restrictions on the allowed S-matrices. By performing hypothesis testing using relative entropy, we isolate two sets of S-matrices living on the boundary which give scattering lengths comparable to experiments but one of which is far from the 1-loop $\chi PT$ Adler zeros. We perform a preliminary analysis to constrain the allowed space further, using ideas involving positivity inside the extended Mandelstam region, and elastic unitarity.

  We study the propagator of the $1+1$ dimensional Salpeter Hamiltonian, describing a relativistic quantum particle with no spin. The analytical extension of the Hamiltonian in the complex plane allows us to formulate the equivalent problem, namely the B"aumer equation. This B"aumera corresponds to the Green function of a relativistic diffusion process that interpolates between Cauchy for small times and Gaussian diffusion for large times.

• An Area Law for Entanglement Entropy in Particle Scattering [0.0]
  We compute the entanglement entropy in 2-to-2 scattering of particles in a general setting. Since $sigma_textel$ is generally believed, and observed experimentally, to grow with the collision energy $sqrts$ in the high energy regime, the result suggests a "second law" of entanglement entropy for high energy collisions.

We also observe a universal divergent term in the second pseudo R'enyi entropy within 2-dimensional CFTs.
