论文摘要
本文测试了强烈相互作用量规理论的结合状态如何有效地与新兴的描述为热集合。该描述可以源自猜想的最低自由能原理,而两党子系统的纠缠熵扮演了热力学熵的作用。这使我们能够在不求解Schrödinger方程的情况下计算宽范围的Parton块上的基态强体光谱和波函数。我们对1+1维度的某些说明性模型进行了此分析,并讨论了更高维度的前景。
This paper tests how effectively the bound states of strongly interacting gauge theories are amenable to an emergent description as a thermal ensemble. This description can be derived from a conjectured minimum free energy principle, with the entanglement entropy of two-parton subsystems playing the role of thermodynamic entropy. This allows us to calculate the ground state hadron spectrum and wavefunction over a wide range of parton masses without solving the Schrödinger equation. We carry out this analysis for certain illustrative models in 1+1 dimensions and discuss prospects for higher dimensions.
