One-particle entanglement for one-dimensional spinless fermions after an interaction quantum quench

Particle entanglement provides information on quantum correlations in systems of indistinguishable particles. Here, we study the one-particle entanglement entropy for an integrable model of spinless, interacting fermions both at equilibrium and after an interaction quantum quench. Using both large-scale exact diagonalization and time-dependent density matrix renormalization group calculations, we numerically compute the one-body reduced density matrix for the J -V model, as well as its postquench dynamics. We include an analysis of the fermionic momentum distribution, showcasing its time evolution after a quantum quench. Our numerical results, extrapolated to the thermodynamic limit, can be compared with field theoretic bosonization in the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid regime. Excellent agreement is obtained using an interaction cutoff that can be determined uniquely in the ground state.
