Investigating disordered many-body system with entanglement in momentum space

Abstract

We study the entanglement in momentum space of the ground state of a disordered one-dimensional fermion lattice model with attractive interaction. We observe two components in the entanglement spectrum, one of which is related to paired-fermion entanglement and contributes to the long-range correlation in position space. The vanishing point of it indicates the localization phenomenon in the ground state of this model. Additionally, by method of entanglement spectrum, we provide a new evidence to show the transition of two phases induced by interaction, and find that this phase transition is not influenced by the disorder. Our result show key characteristics in entanglement for different phases in the system, and provide a novel perspective to understand localization phenomena.
