Relative entanglement entropy of thermal states of Klein-Gordon and Dirac quantum field theories

Abstract

An upper bound of the relative entanglement entropy of thermal states at an inverse temperature $\beta$ of linear, massive Klein-Gordon and Dirac quantum field theories across two regions, separated by a nonzero distance $d$ in a Cauchy hypersurface of an ultrastatic (spin-)spacetime has been computed. This entanglement measure is bounded by a negative constant times $\ln | \tanh (\pi d/ 2 \beta) |$ which signifies power law decay for asymptotic $d$ where the exponent depends on $\beta < \infty$.
