• Abstract summary: We study the behavior of the entanglement entropy for Kitaev chains with long-range hopping and pairing couplings decaying with a power law of the distance. Most significantly, in the strong long-range regime, we discovered that the system ground state may have a logarithmic, fractal, or volume-law entanglement scaling.

• Abstract: Thanks to their prominent collective character, long-range interactions promote information spreading and generate forms of entanglement scaling, which cannot be observed in traditional systems with local interactions. In this work, we study the asymptotic behavior of the entanglement entropy for Kitaev chains with long-range hopping and pairing couplings decaying with a power law of the distance. We provide a fully-fledged analytical and numerical characterization of the asymptotic growth of the ground state entanglement in the large subsystem size limit, finding that the truly non-local nature of the model leads to an extremely rich phenomenology. Most significantly, in the strong long-range regime, we discovered that the system ground state may have a logarithmic, fractal, or volume-law entanglement scaling, depending on the value of the chemical potential and on the strength of the power law decay.

  We show that introduction of harmonic and spin-dependent linear potentials sufficiently validates fTWA for longer times. In particular, we focus on a finite two-dimensional system and show that at intermediate linear potential strength, the addition of a harmonic potential and spin dependence of the tilt, results in subdiffusive dynamics.

  Many-body localization becomes more sophisticated in long-range interacting systems. We show that long-range interaction enhances the localization effect and shifts the phase boundary towards smaller values of disorder. Our analysis establishes a hierarchy among the quantities that we have studied concerning their convergence speed towards their thermodynamic limit.
