We consider the mutual Renyi information I^n(A,B)=S^n_A+S^n_B-S^n_{AUB} of disjoint compact spatial regions A and B in the ground state of a d+1-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT), in the limit when the separation r between A and B is much greater than their sizes R_{A,B}. We show that in general I^n(A,B)sim C^n_AC^n_B(R_AR_B/r^2)^a, where a the smallest sum of the scaling dimensions of operators whose product has the quantum numbers of the vacuum, and the constants C^n_{A,B} depend only on the shape of the regions and universal data of the CFT. For a free massless scalar field, where 2x=d-1, we show that C^2_AR_A^{d-1} is proportional to the capacitance of a thin conducting slab in the shape of A in d+1-dimensional electrostatics, and give explicit formulae for this when A is the interior of a sphere S^{d-1} or an ellipsoid. For spherical regions in d=2 and 3 we obtain explicit results for C^n for all n and hence for the leading term in the mutual information by taking n->1. We also compute a universal logarithmic correction to the area law for the Renyi entropies of a single spherical region for a scalar field theory with a small mass.

In this paper, we study how quantum correlation between subsystems changes in time by investigating time evolution of mutual information and logarithmic negativity in two protocols of mass quench. Hamiltonian in both protocols is for 2-dimensional fr
ee scalar theory with time-dependent mass: the mass in one case decreases monotonically and vanishes asymptotically (ECP), and that in the other decreases monotonically before t = 0, but increases monotonically afterward, and becomes constant asymptotically (CCP). We study the time evolution of the quantum correlations under those protocols in two different limits of the mass quench; fast limit and slow limit depending on the speed with which the mass is changed. We obtain the following two results: (1) For the ECP, we find that the time evolution of logarithmic negativity is, when the distance between the two subsystems is large enough, well-interpreted in terms of the propagation of relativistic particles created at a time determined by the limit of the quench we take. On the other hand, the evolution of mutual information in the ECP depends not only on the relativistic particles but also on slowly-moving particles. (2) For the CCP, both logarithmic negativity and mutual information oscillate in time after the quench. When the subsystems are well-separated, the oscillation of the quantum correlations in the fast limit is suppressed, and the time evolution looks similar to that under the ECP in the fast limit.
When the reduced state of a many-body quantum system is independent of its remaining parts, we say it shows what has become known by shielding property. Under some assumptions, equilibrium states of quantum transverse Ising models do manifest such ph
enomenon. Namely, imagine a many-body quantum system described by a lattice in the presence of an external magnetic field. Suppose there exists a separating interface on this lattice splitting the system into two subsets such that they only interact one another through that interface. In addition, suppose also that the applied external magnetic field is null on the interface. The shielding property states that the reduced state of the set in one side of the interface has no dependence on the Hamiltonian parameters of the set in the other side. This statement was proved in [N. Moller et al, PRE 97, 032101 (2018)] for the case where there is only one site in the interface. For lattices with more sites in the interface, it was conjectured that the shielding property is true when the system is in the ground state. For the case of positive temperatures, it does not hold and there are counterexamples to show that. Here we show that the conjecture does hold true for ground states, but under an additional condition. This condition is met, in particular, if the Hamiltonian terms associated to the interface are frustration-free.
The holographic principle states that on a fundamental level the information content of a region should depend on its surface area rather than on its volume. This counterintuitive idea which has its roots in the nonextensive nature of black-hole entr
opy serves as a guiding principle in the search for the fundamental laws of Planck-scale physics. In this paper we show that a similar phenomenon emerges from the established laws of classical and quantum physics: the information contained in part of a system in thermal equilibrium obeys an area law. While the maximal information per unit area depends classically only on the number of microscopic degrees of freedom, it may diverge as the inverse temperature in quantum systems. A rigorous relation between area laws and correlations is established and their explicit behavior is revealed for a large class of quantum many-body states beyond equilibrium systems.
We compute the spectrum of anomalous dimensions of non-derivative composite operators with an arbitrary number of fields $n$ in the $O(N)$ vector model with cubic anisotropy at the one-loop order in the $epsilon$-expansion. The complete closed-form e
xpression for the anomalous dimensions of the operators which do not undergo mixing effects is derived and the structure of the general solution to the mixing problem is outlined. As examples, the full explicit solution for operators with up to $n=6$ fields is presented and a sample of the OPE coefficients is calculated. The main features of the spectrum are described, including an interesting pattern pointing to the deeper structure.
It has been suggested in recent work that the Page curve of Hawking radiation can be recovered using computations in semi-classical gravity provided one allows for islands in the gravity region of quantum systems coupled to gravity. The explicit comp
utations so far have been restricted to black holes in two-dimensional Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. In this note, we numerically construct a five-dimensional asymptotically AdS geometry whose boundary realizes a four-dimensional Hartle-Hawking state on an eternal AdS black hole in equilibrium with a bath. We also numerically find two types of extremal surfaces: ones that correspond to having or not having an island. The version of the information paradox involving the eternal black hole exists in this setup, and it is avoided by the presence of islands. Thus, recent computations exhibiting islands in two-dimensional gravity generalize to higher dimensions as well.
