Finite Temperature Entanglement Negativity of Fermionic Symmetry Protected Topological Phases and Quantum Critical Points in One Dimension (2310.20566v2)

Published 31 Oct 2023 in cond-mat.str-el

Abstract: We study the logarithmic entanglement negativity of symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases and quantum critical points (QCPs) of one-dimensional noninteracting fermions at finite temperatures. In particular, we consider a free fermion model that realizes not only quantum phase transitions between gapped phases but also an exotic topological phase transition between quantum critical states in the form of the fermionic Lifshitz transition. The bipartite entanglement negativity between adjacent fermion blocks reveals the crossover boundary of the quantum critical fan near the QCP between two gapped phases. Along the critical phase boundary between the gapped phases, the sudden decrease in the entanglement negativity signals the fermionic Lifshitz transition responsible for the change in the topological nature of the QCPs. In addition, the tripartite entanglement negativity between spatially separated fermion blocks counts the number of topologically protected boundary modes for both SPT phases and topologically nontrivial QCPs at zero temperature. However, the long-distance entanglement between the boundary modes vanishes at finite temperatures due to the instability of SPTs, the phases themselves.
