• Abstract: Entanglement dynamics depend not only on how a quantum system is partitioned, but critically on how interactions across that partition are structured. For a spatial bipartition of a locally interacting system, entanglement is generated near the boundary and then propagates into the bulk. By contrast, when two extended quantum fields are coupled locally along their entire length, the interaction crosses the field-space partition everywhere, and this generates correlations throughout the system. Here, we study the entanglement dynamics between two gapless one-dimensional quantum many-body systems described by Luttinger liquid theory. The systems are initially decoupled and prepared at zero or finite temperature, after which a time-dependent tunneling interaction is activated uniformly along their length. Within a Gaussian approximation, we derive general analytical expressions for the logarithmic negativity, mutual information, and Rényi entropies under arbitrary coupling protocols. At zero temperature, entanglement displays an early-time power-law growth whose exponent is fixed solely by the first non-null derivative of the tunneling protocol. Once the coupling saturates, we obtain exact long-time averages of the information-theoretic quantities and characterise how the correlations scale with temperature and the final coupling strength. We also analyse how mutual information and logarithmic negativity approach the adiabatic limit for a very slow protocol with respect to intrinsic system timescale. This work extends the study of entanglement dynamics in nonequilibrium field theory to field-space partitions and mixed initial states.

• Correlation Spreading in Quantum Lattice Models with Variable-Range Interactions [0.0]
  We have investigated the spreading of quantum correlations in isolated lattice models with short- or long-range interactions driven far from equilibrium via sudden global quenches. We have shown that its causality cone displays a universal twofold structure consisting of a correlation edge and a series of local extrema. For long-range interactions, the motion of each structure is ballistic and the associated spreading velocities are related to the group and phase velocities of the quasiparticle dispersion relation of the post-quench Hamiltonian.
