Operator-Space Entanglement Entropy in Random Fermionic Gaussian Dynamics
Abstract
We study the von Neumann operator-space entanglement entropy (OSEE) of initial product operators evolved under random gaussian dynamics, as modeled by a Brownian SYK2 model. By exploiting a mapping to a domain-wall melting problem, we derive an exact expression for the time-dependent bipartite OSEE in the thermodynamic limit, and obtain an analytic characterization of the corresponding gaussian Page curve emerging at late times. Our results build on recent work on the entanglement dynamics in the all-to-all quantum simple exclusion process, leveraging tools from RMT, including the Coulomb-gas approach and a mapping to the free Jacobi process. Finally, based on our results, we discuss the possibility of relating the OSEE with non-gaussianity measures in the Heisenberg picture.
