Entanglement in the thermodynamic limit

Abstract:
Just as phase transitions, some properties of entanglement in many-body systems only sharply emerge in the thermodynamic limit. I will discuss recent results providing operational distinctions for different ways of being infinitely entangled in the context of quantum information theory, quantum many-body physics and quantum field theory. A striking example is the ability of quantum fields and critical many-body systems to "embezzle" entanglement.
