Title: Entanglement Entropy of ($\mathbf{2+1}$)-Dimensional SU(2) Lattice Gauge Theory on Plaquette Chains
Authors: Lukas Ebner, Andreas Schäfer, Clemens Seidl, Berndt Müller, Xiaojun Yao,
Abstract summary: We study the entanglement entropy of Hamiltonian SU(2) lattice gauge theory in $2+1$ dimensions on linear plaquette chains. Quantum many-body scars in the middle of the spectrum, which are present in the electric flux truncated Hilbert space, disappear when higher electric field representations are included in the Hilbert space basis.

Abstract: We study the entanglement entropy of Hamiltonian SU(2) lattice gauge theory in $2+1$ dimensions on linear plaquette chains and show that the entanglement entropies of both ground and excited states follow Page curves. The transition of the subsystem size dependence of the entanglement entropy from the area law for the ground state to the volume law for highly excited states is found to be described by a universal crossover function. Quantum many-body scars in the middle of the spectrum, which are present in the electric flux truncated Hilbert space, where the gauge theory can be mapped onto an Ising model, disappear when higher electric field representations are included in the Hilbert space basis. This suggests the continuum $(2+1)$-dimensional SU(2) gauge theory does not have such scarred states.

We consider the fermionic entanglement entropy for the free Dirac field in a bounded spatial region of Minkowski spacetime. An area law is proven in the limiting cases where the volume tends to infinity and/or the regularization length tends to zero.

We consider sets of states in conformal quantum mechanics associated to generators of time evolution whose orbits cover different regions of the time domain. States labelled by a continuous global time variable define the two-point correlation functions of the theory seen as a one-dimensional conformal field theory.

Emergence of non-Abelian SU(2) invariance in Abelian frustrated fermionic ladders [37.69303106863453]
We consider a system of interacting spinless fermions on a two-leg triangular ladder with $pi/2$ magnetic flux per triangular plaquette. Microscopically, the system exhibits a U(1) symmetry corresponding to the conservation of total fermionic charge, and a discrete $mathbbZ$ symmetry. At the intersection of the three phases, the system features a critical point with an emergent SU(2) symmetry.

Quantum and classical spin network algorithms for $q$-deformed Kogut-Susskind gauge theories [0.0]
We introduce $q$-deformed Kogut-Susskind lattice gauge theories, obtained by deforming the defining symmetry algebra to a quantum group. Our proposal simultaneously provides a controlled regularization of the infinite-dimensional local Hilbert space while preserving essential symmetry-related properties. Our work gives a new perspective for the application of tensor network methods to high-energy physics.

We study phase transitions occurring in the stationary state of the dynamics of integrable many-body non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. We observe that the entanglement phase transitions occurring in the stationary state have the same nature as that occurring in the vacuum of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian.

Entropy scaling law and the quantum marginal problem [0.0]
Quantum many-body states that frequently appear in physics often obey an entropy scaling law. We prove a restricted version of this conjecture for translationally invariant systems in two spatial dimensions.
