In a large class of models, such evolution can be understood in terms of a semiclassical picture of moving quasiparticles spreading the entanglement throughout the system. However, it is not yet known how the entanglement splits between the sectors of an internal local symmetry of a quantum many-body system. Here, guided by the examples of conformal field theories and free-fermion chains, we show that the quasiparticle picture can be adapted to this goal, leading to a general conjecture for the charged entropies whose Fourier transform gives the desired symmetry resolved entanglement $S_n(q)$. We point out two physically relevant effects that should be easily observed in atomic experiments: a delay time for the onset of $S_n(q)$ which grows linearly with $|\\Delta q|$ (the difference from the charge $q$ and its mean value), and an effective equipartition when $|\\Delta q|$ is much smaller than the subsystem size.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-10-19T19:12:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "conformal field theories", "symmetry resolved entanglement", "free fermions", "quasiparticle dynamics", "non-equilibrium quantum state" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
