Abstract:
A theory of the measurement-induced entanglement phase transition for free-fermion models in d>1 dimensions is developed. The critical point separates a gapless phase with ℓ^{d-1}lnℓ scaling of the second cumulant of the particle number and of the entanglement entropy and an area-law phase with ℓ^{d-1} scaling, where ℓ is a size of the subsystem. The problem is mapped onto an SU(R) replica nonlinear sigma model in d+1 dimensions, with R→1. Using renormalization-group analysis, we calculate critical indices in one-loop approximation justified for d=1+ε with ε≪1. Further, we carry out a numerical study of the transition for a d=2 model on a square lattice, determine numerically the critical point, and estimate the critical index of the correlation length, ν≈1.4.

At absolute zero temperature, electrons fill all energy states up to the Fermi level, leaving upper states empty. As the temperature rises,...
Phase Changes
A substance melts or freezes at a temperature called its melting point and boils or condenses at its boiling point. These temperatures depend on pressure. High pressure favors the denser form of the substance, so typically, high pressure...
