摘要 / Abstract:

We study entanglement entropy of excited states in two dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) with/without boundary.  Especially we consider excited states obtained by acting primary operators on a vacuum.  We show that under its time evolution, entanglement entropy increases by a finite constant when the causality condition is satisfied.  Moreover, in rational CFTs, we prove that this increased amount of (both Renyi and von-Neumann) entanglement entropy always coincides with the log of quantum dimension of the primary operator.
