• Abstract summary: entanglement entropy of a massless scalar field in de Sitter space depends on multiple scales. We derive the leading de Sitter corrections to the flat-space entanglement entropy for subhorizon entangling radii. We show that the contribution to the entanglement entropy of the sector of the theory with vanishing angular momentum depends logarithmically on the size of the overall system.

• Abstract: The entanglement entropy of a massless scalar field in de Sitter space depends on multiple scales, such as the radius of the entangling surface, the Hubble constant and the UV cutoff. We perform a high-precision numerical calculation using a lattice model in order to determine the dependence on these scales in the Bunch-Davies vacuum. We derive the leading de Sitter corrections to the flat-space entanglement entropy for subhorizon entangling radii. We analyze the structure of the finite-size effects and we show that the contribution to the entanglement entropy of the sector of the theory with vanishing angular momentum depends logarithmically on the size of the overall system, which extends beyond the horizon.

• Capacity of entanglement and volume law [0.0]
  capacity of entanglement in certain setups whose entanglement entropy becomes extensive obeys a volume law. We present both analytical and numerical evidences for the volume law scaling of this quantity in different setups. We discuss some implications of our results on the existence of consistent holographic duals for the models in question.

• Entanglement Fractalization [9.254741613227333]
  We numerically explore the interplay of fractal geometry and quantum entanglement by analyzing entanglement entropy and the entanglement contour in the scaling limit. For gapless ground states exhibiting a finite density of states at the chemical potential, we reveal a super-area law. A novel self-similar and universal pattern termed an entanglement fractal'' in the entanglement contour data as we approach the scaling limit bears resemblance to intricate Chinese paper-cutting designs.

  We study entanglement entropy of unusual $mathbbZ_N$ topological stabilizer codes which admit fractional excitations with restricted mobility constraint. It is widely known that the sub-leading term of the entanglement entropy of a disk geometry in conventional topologically ordered phases is related to the total number of the quantum dimension of the fractional excitations.

  The percolation transition is defined through the appearance of the infinite cluster. We show that the exponentially increasing dimensionality of the Hilbert space makes its covering by finite-size hyperspheres inefficient. Our approach to the percolation transition in compact metric spaces may prove useful for its rigorous treatment in other contexts.

• The role of boundary conditions in quantum computations of scattering observables [58.720142291102135]
  Quantum computing may offer the opportunity to simulate strongly-interacting field theories, such as quantum chromodynamics, with physical time evolution. As with present-day calculations, quantum computation strategies still require the restriction to a finite system size. We quantify the volume effects for various $1+1$D Minkowski-signature quantities and show that these can be a significant source of systematic uncertainty.
