Entanglement of Free Fermions on Johnson Graphs
Abstract
Free fermions on Johnson graphs $J(n,k)$ are considered and the entanglement entropy of sets of neighborhoods is computed. For a subsystem composed of a single neighborhood, an analytical expression is provided by the decomposition in irreducible submodules of the Terwilliger algebra of $J(n,k)$ embedded in two copies of $\mathfrak{su}(2)$. For a subsytem composed of multiple neighborhoods, the construction of a block-tridiagonal operator which commutes with the entanglement Hamiltonian is presented, its usefulness in computing the entropy is stressed and the area law pre-factor is discussed.
