Entanglement entropy in Fermi gases and Anderson's orthogonality   catastrophe
  We study the ground-state entanglement entropy of a subsystem of size $L$ of non-interacting fermions scattered by a potential of finite range $a$. We derive a general relation between the scattering matrix and the overlap matrix and use it to prove, that for a one-dimensional symmetric potential the von Neumann entropy, the R\'enyi entropies and the full counting statistics are robust against potential scattering, provided that $L/a\gg 1$. The results of numerical calculations support the validity of this conclusion for a generic potential.
