• Abstract summary: We discuss the entanglement entropy for a massive Klein-Gordon field in two Schwarzschild-like quantum black hole spacetimes. We estimate the free parameters for such quantum metrics through a simple physical argument based on Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Our findings reveal a significant decrease in entropy compared to the area law near the origin for the quantum metrics.

• Abstract: We discuss the entanglement entropy for a massive Klein-Gordon field in two Schwarzschild-like quantum black hole spacetimes, also including a nonminimal coupling term with the background scalar curvature. To compute the entanglement entropy, we start from the standard spherical shell discretisation procedure, tracing over the degrees of freedom residing inside an imaginary surface. We estimate the free parameters for such quantum metrics through a simple physical argument based on Heisenberg uncertainty principle, along with alternative proposals as asymptotic safety, trace anomaly, and graviton corpuscular scaling. Our findings reveal a significant decrease in entropy compared to the area law near the origin for the quantum metrics. In both scenarios, the entanglement entropy converges to the expected area law sufficiently far from the origin. We then compare these results to the entropy scaling in regular Hayward and corrected-Hayward spacetimes to highlight the main differences with such regular approaches.

The progress here opens a frontier where entanglement entropy serves as an important experimental tool in the study of emergent phases and phase transitions.

We show that large positive coupling constants can significantly alter the entropy scaling with respect to the boundary area. Our outcomes are interpreted in view of black hole entropy production and early universe scenarios.

  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.

• 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. We derive a closed-form expression for the maximum entropy density compatible with those marginals.

  We prove a strong exponential convergence in relative entropy of the system to equilibrium under a condition of spatial mixing.

Our results have wide-ranging applications in quantum information.
