Renyi Entropy of the Interacting Fermi Liquid    [PDF]

Jeremy McMinis, Norm M. Tubman
We perform quantum Monte Carlo calculations to determine how the Renyi entropies, $S_n$, of the interacting Fermi liquid depend on Renyi order, $n$, and scale as a function of system size, $L$. Using the swap operator and an accurate Slater-Jastrow wave function, we compute Renyi entropies for spinless fermions interacting via the Coulomb and modified P\"{o}schl-Teller potentials across a range of correlation strengths. Our results show that interactions increase the Renyi entropies and increase the prefactor of their scaling laws. The relationships between Renyi entropies of different order $n$ are also modified. Additionally, we investigate the effect of the swap operator on the Fermi liquid wave function to determine the source of the $L\log L$ scaling form.
