Scaling of Entanglement Entropy in the Random Singlet Phase
We present numerical evidences for the logarithmic scaling of the
entanglement entropy in critical random spin chains. Very large scale exact
diagonalizations performed at the critical XX point up to L=2000 spins 1/2 lead
to a perfect agreement with recent real-space renormalization-group predictions
of Refael and Moore [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 93}, 260602 (2004)] for the
logarithmic scaling of the entanglement entropy in the Random Singlet Phase
with an effective central charge . Moreover we
provide the first visual proof of the existence the Random Singlet Phase thanks
to the quantum entanglement concept.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
One-Dimensional Impenetrable Anyons in Thermal Equilibrium. II. Determinant Representation for the Dynamic Correlation Functions
We have obtained a determinant representation for the time- and
temperature-dependent field-field correlation function of the impenetrable
Lieb-Liniger gas of anyons through direct summation of the form factors. In the
static case, the obtained results are shown to be equivalent to those that
follow from the anyonic generalization of Lenard's formula.Comment: 16 pages, RevTeX
Characterizing and measuring multipartite Entanglement
A method is proposed to characterize and quantify multipartite entanglement
in terms of the probability density function of bipartite entanglement over all
possible balanced bipartitions of an ensemble of qubits. The method is tested
on a class of random pure states.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures. Submitted to "International Journal of Quantum

Cold atoms in non-Abelian gauge potentials: From the Hofstadter "moth" to lattice gauge theory
We demonstrate how to create artificial external non-Abelian gauge potentials
acting on cold atoms in optical lattices. The method employs internal
states of atoms and laser assisted state sensitive tunneling. Thus, dynamics
are communicated by unitary -matrices. By experimental control of
the tunneling parameters, the system can be made truly non-Abelian. We show
that single particle dynamics in the case of intense U(2) vector potentials
lead to a generalized Hofstadter butterfly spectrum which shows a complex
``moth''-like structure. We discuss the possibility to employ non-Abelian
interferometry (Aharonov-Bohm effect) and address methods to realize matter
dynamics in specific classes of lattice gauge fields.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
One-Dimensional Impenetrable Anyons in Thermal Equilibrium. IV. Large Time and Distance Asymptotic Behavior of the Correlation Functions
This work presents the derivation of the large time and distance asymptotic
behavior of the field-field correlation functions of impenetrable
one-dimensional anyons at finite temperature. In the appropriate limits of the
statistics parameter, we recover the well-known results for impenetrable bosons
and free fermions. In the low-temperature (usually expected to be the
"conformal") limit, and for all values of the statistics parameter away from
the bosonic point, the leading term in the correlator does not agree with the
prediction of the conformal field theory, and is determined by the singularity
of the density of the single-particle states at the bottom of the
single-particle energy spectrum.Comment: 26 pages, RevTeX
Exact relationship between the entanglement entropies of XY and quantum Ising chains
We consider two prototypical quantum models, the spin-1/2 XY chain and the
quantum Ising chain and study their entanglement entropy, S(l,L), of blocks of
l spins in homogeneous or inhomogeneous systems of length L. By using two
different approaches, free-fermion techniques and perturbational expansion, an
exact relationship between the entropies is revealed. Using this relation we
translate known results between the two models and obtain, among others, the
additive constant of the entropy of the critical homogeneous quantum Ising
chain and the effective central charge of the random XY chain.Comment: 6 page
Entanglement evolution after connecting finite to infinite quantum chains
We study zero-temperature XX chains and transverse Ising chains and join an
initially separate finite piece on one or on both sides to an infinite
remainder. In both critical and non-critical systems we find a typical increase
of the entanglement entropy after the quench, followed by a slow decay towards
the value of the homogeneous chain. In the critical case, the predictions of
conformal field theory are verified for the first phase of the evolution, while
at late times a step structure can be observed.Comment: 15 pages, 11 figure
Accretion Disks Around Young Objects. II. Tests of Well-Mixed Models with Ism Dust
We construct detailed vertical structure models of irradiated accretion disks
around T Tauri stars with interstellar medium dust uniformly mixed with gas.
The dependence of the structure and emission properties on mass accretion rate,
viscosity parameter, and disk radius is explored using these models. The
theoretical spectral energy distributions (SEDs) and images for all
inclinations are compared with observations of the entire population of
Classical T Tauri stars (CTTS) and Class I objects in Taurus. In particular, we
find that the median near-infrared fluxes can be explained within the errors
with the most recent values for the median accretion rates for CTTS. We further
show that the majority of the Class I sources in Taurus cannot be Class II
sources viewed edge-on because they are too luminous and their colors would be
consistent with disks seen only in a narrow range of inclinations. Our models
appear to be too geometrically thick at large radii, as suggested by: (a)
larger far-infrared disk emission than in the typical SEDs of T Tauri stars;
(b) wider dark dust lanes in the model images than in the images of HH30 and HK
Tau/c; and (c) larger predicted number of stars extincted by edge-on disks than
consistent with current surveys. The large thickness of the model is a
consequence of the assumption that dust and gas are well-mixed, suggesting that
some degree of dust settling may be required to explain the observations.Comment: 41 pages, 13 figures, accepted in Ap
Off-diagonal correlations in one-dimensional anyonic models: A replica approach
We propose a generalization of the replica trick that allows to calculate the
large distance asymptotic of off-diagonal correlation functions in anyonic
models with a proper factorizable ground-state wave-function. We apply this new
method to the exact determination of all the harmonic terms of the correlations
of a gas of impenetrable anyons and to the Calogero Sutherland model. Our
findings are checked against available analytic and numerical results.Comment: 19 pages, 5 figures, typos correcte
One-dimensional anyons with competing -function and derivative -function potentials
We propose an exactly solvable model of one-dimensional anyons with competing
-function and derivative -function interaction potentials. The
Bethe ansatz equations are derived in terms of the -particle sector for the
quantum anyonic field model of the generalized derivative nonlinear
Schr\"{o}dinger equation. This more general anyon model exhibits richer physics
than that of the recently studied one-dimensional model of -function
interacting anyons. We show that the anyonic signature is inextricably related
to the velocities of the colliding particles and the pairwise dynamical
interaction between particles.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figures, minor changes, references update
