Entanglement Entropies in Conformal Systems with Boundaries    [PDF]

L. Taddia, J. C. Xavier, F. C. Alcaraz, G. Sierra

We study the entanglement entropies in one-dimensional open critical systems, whose effective description is a conformal field theory, both for the ground state and the excited states associated to primary fields. The analytical results are checked numerically finding excellent agreement for the $c=1/2$ minimal model and the $c=1$ compactified massless free boson.
