Holographic Studies of Entanglement Entropy in Superconductors    [PDF]

Tameem Albash, Clifford V. Johnson

We present the results of our studies of the entanglement entropy of a
superconducting system described holographically as a fully back-reacted
gravity system, with a stable ground state. We use the holographic prescription
for the entanglement entropy. We uncover the behavior of the entropy across the
superconducting phase transition, showing the reorganization of the degrees of
freedom of the system. We exhibit the behaviour of the entanglement entropy
from the superconducting transition all the way down to the ground state at
T=0. In some cases, we also observe a novel transition in the entanglement
entropy at intermediate temperatures, resulting from the detection of an
additional length scale.
