Entanglement Entropy for Disjoint Subsystems in XX Spin Chain

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

Fisher-Hartwig formula has been successful applied to describe the von Neumann and Rényi entropies of a block of spins in the ground state of XX spin chain. It was based on a determinant representation. In this paper, we generalize the free fermion method to obtain an exact formulation for the entropy of any finite subsystem in XX spin chain. Based on this, we derive a determinant representation of the entropy of multiple disjoint intervals in the ground state of XXXX model.
