1206.6900 (Spyridon Michalakis)

Stability of the Area Law for the Entropy of Entanglement    [PDF]

Spyridon Michalakis
Recent results on the stability of the spectral gap under general perturbations for frustration-free Hamiltonians, have motivated the following question: Does the entanglement entropy of quantum states that are connected to states satisfying an area law along gapped Hamiltonian paths, also satisfy an area law? We answer this question in the affirmative, combining recent advances in quasi-adiabatic evolution and Lieb-Robinson bounds with ideas from the proof of the 1D area law.
