What is the appropriate 'Page Value' for entanglement entropy in a symmetry sector, say for example with a $U(1)$ symmetry?

Don Page derived the formula for the average entropy of a subsystem of a quantum system (assumed to be in a pure state), if the system is partitioned into two subsystems of dimensions $m$ and $n$, ...

Is there a relationship between spin correlation and entanglement entropy?

Can someone explain whether there is a connection between spin correlation in say a 1D Heisenberg chain and its entanglement entropy? I'd say, albeit naively, that there is just from their concepts. ...

Relationship between Hartley entropy and local dimension

I am recently reading a paper about entanglement entropy. It mentions that if we consider a 1D spin chain and write a pure state in the matrix product state: \begin{align} |\psi\rangle = A^{\sigma_1}A^...

$S^+$ acting on a spin chain raises the entropy by at most $\ln(2)$

Consider the operator $S^+ = \sum_{i=1}^L S^+_i$ acting on a spin-chain of spin-1/2 particles. Denote the half-chain Von Neumann entanglement entropy of a state $|\psi\rangle$ by $\mathbb{S}[|\psi\...

How can you (computationally) calculate the halfchain entanglement entropy of a spinchain?

I am simulating a (small) spinchain with exact diagonalization and dynamics. I would like to track the entanglement entropy of half the chain with the other part of the chain. I have the vectors of ...

Average entropy of a subsystem

In this paper by Don Page, https://arxiv.org/pdf/gr-qc/9305007.pdf, He conjectures average entropy of a substem of dimension m with Hilbert space dimension mn, $m \leq n$. to be : $ S_{mn} = \sum_{n+...
