Computational Methods for the Measurement of Entanglement in Condensed Matter Systems
Kallin, Ann Berlinsky (University of Waterloo, 2014-06-19)At the interface of quantum information and condensed matter physics, the study of entanglement in quantum many-body systems requires a new toolset which combines concepts from each. This thesis introduces a set of ... -
Measuring Entanglement Entropy in Valence Bond Quantum Monte Carlo Simulations
Kallin, Ann Berlinsky (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 ...
