Entanglement entropy and infinite randomness fixed points in disordered magnetic and non-abelian quasi-particle chains
Speaker(s): Gil Refael
Abstract: Many one dimensional random quantum systems exhibit infinite randomness phases, such as the random singlet phase of the spin-1/2 Heisenberg model. These phases are typically the result of destabilizing systems described by a conformal field theory with disorder. Interestingly, entanglement entropy i... read more
