Emergence of spin entanglement with the pseudogap onset in the Fermi-Hubbard model

Despite decades of intense theoretical and experimental investigation, the two-dimensional Fermi-Hubbard model still resists a complete microscopic understanding. Conventional approaches typically probe global observables and locally resolved correlation functions. Here, we develop a complementary perspective based on the measurement of entanglement. Using both an ultracold-atom quantum simulator and numerical simulations based on the dynamical vertex approximation, we find that entanglement is closely tied to the onset of the enigmatic pseudogap regime: spin-singlet entanglement emerges only as the pseudogap sets in and, in contrast to classical correlations, remains confined to nearest-neighbour sites in this regime. Our results, therefore, disfavour purely classical-fluctuation theories of the pseudogap and constrain microscopic models to those that develop nearest-neighbour spin-singlet entanglement at the pseudogap onset.

Diagnosing phase transitions through time-scale entanglement

Spatial entanglement of quantum states has become a central paradigm of many-body physics. Here, we unearth a fundamentally different form of entanglement, the entanglement between imaginary time scales. This time-scale entanglement is accessible through quantics tensor train diagnostics (QTTD), where the bond dimension of an $n$-particle correlator encodes the coupling between temporal scales. Our central result is that time-scale entanglement is generically enhanced in the vicinity of phase transitions and crossovers. At quantum critical points, it becomes scale-invariant. We demonstrate time-scale entanglement across a range of systems, including finite-size Hubbard rings, the transverse-field Ising model, the single-impurity Anderson model, and the Mott transition in the Hubbard model. Remarkably, the enhanced time-scale entanglement is largely independent of the specific observable, establishing QTTD as a universal and unbiased diagnostic of criticality.

Two-site entanglement in the two-dimensional Hubbard model

The study of entanglement in strongly correlated electron systems typically requires knowledge of the reduced density matrix. Here, we apply the parquet dynamical vertex approximation to study the two-site reduced density matrix at varying distance, in the Hubbard model at weak coupling. This allows us to investigate the spatial structure of entanglement in dependence of interaction strength, electron filling, and temperature. We compare results from different entanglement measures, and benchmark against quantum Monte Carlo.

Entanglement in the pseudogap regime of cuprate superconductors

We find a strongly enhanced entanglement within the pseudogap regime of the Hubbard model. This entanglement is estimated from the quantum Fisher information and, avoiding the ill-conditioned analytical continuation, the quantum variance. Both are lower bounds for the actual entanglement that can be calculated from the (antiferromagnetic) susceptibility, obtained here with the dynamical vertex approximation. Our results qualitatively agree with experimental neutron scattering experiments for various cuprates. Theory predicts a $\ln(1/T)$ divergence of the entanglement for low temperatures $T$, which is however cut-off by the onset of superconductivity.

Pseudo-Majorana functional renormalization for frustrated XXZ spin-1/2 models with field or magnetization along the spin-Z direction at finite temperature

The numerical study of high-dimensional frustrated quantum magnets remains a challenging problem. Here we present an extension of the pseudo-Majorana functional renormalization group to spin-1/2 XXZ type Hamiltonians with field or magnetization along spin-Z direction at finite temperature. We consider a $U(1)$ symmetry-adapted fermionic spin representation and derive the diagrammatic framework and its renormalization group flow equations. We discuss benchmark results and application to two anti-ferromagnetic triangular lattice materials recently studied in experiments with applied magnetic fields: First, we numerically reproduce the magnetization data measured for CeMgAl$_{11}$O$_{19}$ confirming model parameters previously estimated from inelastic neutron spectrum in high fields. Second, we showcase the accuracy of our method by studying the thermal phase transition into the spin solid up-up-down phase of Na$_2$BaCo(PO$_4$)$_2$ in good agreement with experiment.

Two-site reduced density matrix from one- and two-particle Green's functions

Strongly correlated electron systems are challenging to calculate, and entanglement in such systems is not widely analyzed. We present an approach that can be used as a post-processing step for calculating the two-site reduced density matrix and from it entanglement measures such as the mutual information and entanglement negativity. Input is only the one- and two-particle Green's function which is the output of numerous many-body methods. As an illustration, we present results for a toy model, the Hubbard model on a $2\times2$ cluster and a $6$ site ring.
