Abstract: |
Ultracold atom experiments have demonstrated their potential as quantum simulators of QFT models. Tunnel-coupled one-dimensional Bose gases, in particular, have been successfully used to implement strongly interacting models of QFT and explore their equilibrium and dynamical properties. I will discuss how this platform can be used to study measures of quantum information in QFT and their scaling with size, dubbed as volume and area law. Based on a version of quantum tomography suitable for continuous fields, we achieve a detailed reconstruction of the system’s quantum state, allowing measurements of the von Neumann entropy and mutual information in thermal equilibrium states.
