The asymptotic behavior of the entropy per surface area diverges at, and only at, the quantum phase transition that is governed by an infinite randomness fixed point. Here we identify a double-logarithmic multiplicative correction to the area law for the entanglement entropy. This contrasts with the pure area law valid at the infinite randomness fixed point in the diluted transverse Ising model in higher dimensions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2007-08-28T12:05:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "75.10.Nr", "03.65.Ud", "03.67.Mn", "05.50.+q" ], "keywords": [ "infinite randomness fixed point", "entanglement entropy", "higher dimensions", "pure area law valid", "strong disorder renormalization group" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2007, "month": "Oct", "volume": 99, "number": 14, "pages": 147202 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007PhRvL..99n7202L" } } }
