摘要
Spin-orbital entanglement in quantum spin-orbital systems is quantified by a specifically reduced von Neumann entropy and is calculated for the ground state of a coupled spin-orbital chain with SU(2)xSU(2) symmetry. By analyzing the discontinuity and local extreme of the reduced entropy, we deduce a rich phase diagram describing quantum phase transitions in this system with complex correlations between multiple degrees of freedom.
