Multifractality meets entanglement: relation for non-ergodic extended states
Abstract
In this work we establish a relation between entanglement entropy and fractal dimension $D$ of generic many-body wave functions, by generalizing the result of Don N. Page [Phys. Rev. Lett. 71, 1291] to the case of {\it sparse} random pure states (S-RPS). These S-RPS living in a Hilbert space of size $N$ are defined as normalized vectors with only $N^D$ ($0 \le D \le 1$) random non-zero elements. For $D=1$ these states used by Page represent ergodic states at infinite temperature. However, for $0 1$ and to genuine multifractal states and also show that their fluctuations have ergodic behavior in narrower vicinity of the ergodic state, $D=1$.
