Abstract
Quantum entanglement is studied in the context of its use as a probe of quantum phases within fermionic non-interacting quantum wires. In particular, we consider the uniform lattice, as well as the Su-Schreiffer-Heeger (SSH) model, and use the bipartite entropy of entanglement to characterize their quantum phases. In 1D, it has been shown analytically that the von Neumann entropy defined for a subsystem
