Universal structure of volume-law entanglement in isolated quantum systems

ORAL

Abstract

In broad classes of pure quantum states, their entanglements increases in propotional to their subsystem size. This property is called the volume-law of entanglement. For example, excited energy eigenstates and states after quantum quenches obey the volume-law. However, when the subsystem size is close to the half of the size of the system, the entanglement deviates from the volume-law. We reveal its general behavior. In this talk, We focus on Renyi entropies, especially, 2nd Renyi entropy. We will analyze the volume-law of Renyi entropies using the thermal pure quantum states and obtain their exact behaviors. Our results are so universal that entanglement structures in many kinds of equilibrium states are explained by it.
