Implementations and applications of Renyi entanglement in Monte Carlo simulations of spin models

Although entanglement is a well studied property in the context of quantum systems, the ability to measure it in Monte Carlo methods is relatively new. Through measures of the Renyi entanglement entropy and mutual information one is able to examine and characterize criticality, pinpoint phase transi...
