Entanglement entropy and localization in disordered quantum chains
Abstract
This chapter addresses the question of quantum entanglement in disordered chains, focusing on the von-Neumann and R\'enyi entropies for three important classes of random systems: Anderson localized, infinite randomness criticality, and many-body localization (MBL). We review previous works, and also present new results for the entanglement entropy of random spin chains at low and high energy.
