• Abstract: In this work, a canonical method to compute entanglement entropy is proposed. We show that for two-dimensional conformal theories defined in a torus, a choice of moduli space allows the typical entropy operator of the TFD to provide the entanglement entropy of the degrees of freedom defined in a segment and their complement. In this procedure, it is not necessary to make an analytic continuation from the R\'enyi entropy and the von Neumann entanglement entropy is calculated directly from the expected value of an entanglement entropy operator. We also propose a model for the evolution of the entanglement entropy and show that it grows linearly with time.

• How to Partition a Quantum Observable [0.0]
  We present a partition of quantum observables in an open quantum system which is inherited from the division of the underlying Hilbert space or configuration space. This partition leads to the definition of an inhomogeneous continuity equation for generic, non-local observables. We conclude that Hilbert-space partitioning is the only partition of the von Neumann entropy which is consistent with the Laws of Thermodynamics.

• A covariant regulator for entanglement entropy: proofs of the Bekenstein bound and QNEC [0.0]
  We show that a notion of entropy differences can be rigorously defined in quantum field theory in a general curved spacetime. We introduce a novel, covariant regulator for the entropy based on the modular crossed product. This regulator associates a type II von Neumann algebra to each spacetime subregion, resulting in well-defined renormalized entropies.

We observe the appearance of a new term of work, which represents the energy cost of rotating the Bloch vector in presence of the external field that defines the local Hamiltonian. In order to illustrate our findings we study, from both perspectives, matter-radiation interaction processes for two different systems.

• Catalytic Transformations of Pure Entangled States [62.997667081978825]
  Entanglement entropy is the von Neumann entropy of quantum entanglement of pure states. The relation between entanglement entropy and entanglement distillation has been known only for the setting, and the meaning of entanglement entropy in the single-copy regime has so far remained open. Our results imply that entanglement entropy quantifies the amount of entanglement available in a bipartite pure state to be used for quantum information processing, giving results an operational meaning also in entangled single-copy setup.
