Timelike entanglement entropy

Abstract: We define a new complex-valued measure of information called the timelike entanglement entropy (EE) which in the boundary theory can be viewed as a Wick rotation that changes a spacelike boundary subregion to a timelike one. An explicit definition of the timelike EE in 2d field theories is provided followed by numerical computations which agree with the analytic continuation of the replica method for CFTs. We argue that timelike EE should be correctly interpreted as another measure previously considered, the p… Show more

“…In[1], to derive the dual bulk metric from the CFT 2 EE, the timelike EE is practically used in step 5, by mapping the spacelike EE back and forth between the finite size system and the finite temperature system. This confirms the concern raised in Ref [10]. that the time coordinate can also emerge from EE.…”

“…Remarkably, such a timelike EE has been specifically defined via analytical continuation and the bulk dual has been explicitly provided in Ref. [10,11] recently. Rather than real-valued as the spacelike EE, the timelike EE is a complex-valued quantity.…”
