Entanglement entropy in free quantum field theory
Open accessAbstract
In this review we first introduce the general methods to calculate the entanglement entropy for free fields, within the Euclidean and the real time formalisms. Then we describe the particular examples which have been worked out explicitly in two, three and more dimensions.

For a quantum field theory, the von Neumann entropy of some region can be computed by considering n copies of the original theory and choosing boundary conditions that connect the various copies inside the interval in a cyclic way.
“In particular, for a quantum field theory the von Neumann entropy of some region can be computed by considering n copies of the original theory and choosing boundary conditions that connect the various copies inside the interval in a cyclic way, see e.g. [43] for a review.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
