Entanglement entropy of low-lying excitation in localized interacting system: Signature of Fock space delocalization
The properties of the entanglement entropy (EE) of low-lying excitations in one-dimensional disordered interacting systems are studied. The ground state EE shows a clear signature of localization, while low-lying excitations show a significantly longer localization length. The dependence of the localization as a function of interaction strength and sample length is studied using the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG). This behavior corresponds to the presence of the predicted many-particle critical energy in the vicinity of the ground state energy. The implications of these results on experiments are discussed.
