The black hole information paradox in a brane world
(University of Waterloo, 2023-06-28)Recent progress in our understanding of the black hole information paradox has led to a new prescription for calculating entanglement entropy, which involves special subsystems in regions where gravity is dynamical, called ... -
Probing universality with entanglement entropy via quantum Monte Carlo
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-30)Our understanding of physical phenomena hinges on finding universal core mechanisms that unite them. The concept of universality is deeply ingrained in the study of quantum many-body systems. At zero temperature, microscopically ... -
Variations on PIGS: Non-standard approaches for imaginary-time path integrals
(University of Waterloo, 2015-08-21)The second Rényi entropy has been used as a measure of entanglement in various model systems, including those on a lattice and in the continuum. The present work focuses on extending the existing ideas to measurement of ...
