Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the second and third pseudo Rényi entanglement entropies (PREE) for a locally excited state | ψ⟩ and its time evolution | ϕ⟩ = e- i H t | ψ⟩ in a two-dimensional conformal field theory whose field content is a free massless scalar field. We consider excited states which are constructed by applying primary operators at time t=0, on the vacuum state. We study the time evolution of the PREE for an entangling region in the shape of finite and semi-infinite intervals at zero temperature. It is observed that the PREE is always a complex number for t ≠ 0 and is a pure real number at t=0. Moreover, we discuss on its dependence on the location xm of the center of the entangling region.
