Particle partition entanglement of bosonic Luttinger liquids
We consider the R\'enyi entanglement entropy of bosonic Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids under a particle bipartition and demonstrate that the leading order finite-size scaling is logarithmic in the system size with a prefactor equal to the inverse Luttinger parameter. While higher-order corrections involve a microscopic length scale, the leading-order scaling depends only on this sole dimensionless parameter which characterizes the low-energy quantum hydrodynamics. This result contrasts the leading entanglement entropy scaling under a spatial bipartition, for which the coefficient is universal and independent of the Luttinger parameter. Using quantum Monte Carlo calculations, we explicitly confirm the scaling predictions of Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid theory for the Lieb-Liniger model of $\ensuremath{\delta}$-function interacting bosons in the one-dimensional spatial continuum.
