Abstract

I investigate entanglement entropy of one-dimensional (1D) cluster states to discuss the delocalization of clusters in linear-chain 3α- and 4α-cluster states. In analysis of entanglement entropy of 1D Tohsaki-Horiuchi-Schuck-Röpke (THSR) and Brink-Bloch cluster wave functions, I show clear differences in the entanglement entropy between localized cluster wave functions and delocalized cluster wave functions. To clarify spatial regions where the entanglement entropy is generated by the delocalization of clusters, I analyze the spatial distribution of entanglement entropy. In the linear-chain 3α-cluster state, the delocalization occurs dominantly in a low-density tail region while it is relatively suppressed in an inner region because of the Pauli blocking effect between clusters. In the linear-chain 4α state having a larger system size than the linear-chain 3α state, the delocalization occurs in the whole system. The entanglement entropy is found to be a measure of the delocalization of clusters in the 1D cluster systems.
