Studying entanglement entropy in quantum many body systems has become interesting for quantum information science, where entanglement is the main source of speed-up in quantum computers, and for condensed matter theory, due to its role as a non-classical correlation in quantum phase transitions (for a recent review, see [1]).
In earlier publications the entanglement between a localized spin and a bosonic bath has been studied [2,3]. Here we investigate characteristic time-scales where the quantum impurity system becomes entangled, as well as universality of the short-time dynamics. Specifically we analyze the real-time dynamics of entanglement entropy in the anisotropic Kondo model, applying a time-dependent Numerical Renormalization Group (NRG) algorithm [4].
