Measuring entanglement using quantum quenches

John Cardy

Published 2010-12-22, updated 2011-03-22Version 2

We show that block entanglement entropies in one-dimensional systems close to a quantum critical point can in principle be measured in terms of the population of low-lying energy levels following a certain type of local quantum quench.
