Away from the critical point, S(i,j) saturates with a characteristic length scale $\\xi_E$, as the distance |i-j| increases. The entanglement length $\\xi_E$ agrees with the correlation length. The universality and finite size scaling of entanglement are demonstrated in a class of exactly solvable one dimensional spin model. By connecting the two-point entanglement to correlation functions in the long range limit, we argue that the prediction power of a two-point entanglement is universal as long as the two involved points are separated far enough.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2007-08-04T17:41:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum phase transition", "two-point entanglement", "characteristic length scale", "dimensional spin model", "long range limit" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
