On the entanglement entropy of Maxwell theory: a condensed matter perspective

Abstract Despite the seeming simplicity of the theory, calculating (and even defining) entanglement entropy for the Maxwell theory of a U(1) gauge field in (3+1) dimensions has been the subject of controversy. It is generally accepted that the ground state entanglement entropy for a region of linear...
