Title: Measuring entanglement in many-body quantum systems.
Abstract: In the first part of my talk, I will show how to measure the entanglement
spectrum of ground states of generic Hamiltonians based on the direct engineering of the
entanglement Hamiltonian [1]. Our method, based on the Bisognano-Wichmann theorem, allows
to measure the entanglement spectrum via spectroscopy techniques. I will provide numerical
examples to support this result and give examples of AMO implementations of entanglement
Hamiltonians.
In the second part of my talk, I will present a method to measure Renyi entropies using
random quenches. I will illustrate our approach in the context of 2d Hubbard (ultracold
atoms) and Quantum Ising (Rydberg atoms, trapped ions) models.

to go down one floor. Pratt is the last door on the left of the hallway.
