Holographic entanglement entropy and complexity for D-wave superconductors

Abstract

Using the RT formula and the subregion CV conjecture, we numerically investigate the holographic entanglement entropy (HEE) and holographic subregion complexity (HSC) for two holographic d-wave superconducting models with backreactions. We find that the HEE and HSC can probe these two d-wave superconducting phase transitions. The HEE of the superconducting phase is always lower than that of the normal phase. For the HSC, however, it behaves differently and interestingly, which depends on both the strip-width L_{x} and backreaction kappa . More specifically, when the backreaction is larger than a particular critical value, or the strip-width of the boundary subsystem is smaller than a particular critical value, the HSC in the superconducting phase is larger than that in the normal phase, and vice versa.
