Measuring Entanglement Entropy in Valence Bond Quantum Monte Carlo Simulations
(University of Waterloo, 2010-12-08)In this thesis we examine methods for measuring entanglement entropy in spin-1/2 Heisenberg systems using quantum Monte Carlo in the valence bond basis. We begin by presenting the quantum Monte Carlo techniques used in ... -
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 ...
