Real-space structure of the impurity screening cloud in the Resonant Level Model

We present a detailed investigation of the impurity screening cloud in the Resonant Level Model. The screening is visible in the structure of impurity-bath correlators as a function of distance from the impurity. We characterize the screening cloud through scaling analyses of impurity-bath correlators and entanglement entropies. We devise and study several situations where the screening cloud is destroyed or modified: finite temperatures, energetic detuning of the impurity from the chemical potential, and the situation of an unconventional bath with diverging density of states.
