Entanglement Phase Transitions in 1D Topological Insulators

Sahinel, Zeypnepnur
June 27, 2025

In this thesis, we investigate the entanglement structure of the SSH model using tools from quantum information theory. Our goal is to establish a clear link between topological phase and entanglement properties, particularly in the presence of thermal fluctuations. To do so, we leverage the fact that the SSH model defines a free-fermionic system, whose thermal and ground states are examples ffermionic Gaussian states. This allows us to use correlation matrix methods to efficiently compute entanglement-related quantities such as the reduced density matrix, concurrence, Bell violation, and the Peres-Horodecki criterion.
