Entanglement Entropy in Ordered and Quantum Critical Systems

This dissertation investigates the entanglement properties of extended quantum systems which exhibit either long-range order or quantum criticality. While we mainly focus on the von Neumann entanglement entropy, the mutual information is also studied for certain systems when a mixed state is of conc...
