摘要

Entanglement entropy has become an important tool for identifying phases of matter and phase transitions in quantum systems using quantum Monte Carlo methods. While such approaches have achieved great success in systems composed of interacting spins/bosons, their application to interacting fermionic systems remains limited due to substantially higher computational cost. Here we show a more efficient Monte Carlo algorithm for fermionic systems that enables systematic exploration of entanglement entropy across a wide range of physical parameters. Based on the incremental technique along physical parameters, the method significantly reduces computational effort while maintaining accuracy. Using this approach, we study a two-dimensional square lattice Hubbard model, revealing the phase diagram that includes the Fermi surface and Goldstone modes. We further apply the method to the Gross-Neveu criticality and find that the scaling of the entanglement entropy follows a universal form quantified by the critical exponent ν. Further investigation reveals that the leading coefficient of the entanglement entropy decreases monotonically, rather than developing a local maximum as O(N) transition point.
