Block-block entanglement and quantum phase transitions in   one-dimensional extended Hubbard model
  In this paper, we study block-block entanglement in the ground state of one-dimensional extended Hubbard model. Our results show that the phase diagram derived from the block-block entanglement manifests richer structure than that of the local (single site) entanglement because it comprises nonlocal correlation. Besides phases characterized by the charge-density-wave, the spin-density-wave, and phase-separation, which can be sketched out by the local entanglement, singlet superconductivity phase could be identified on the contour map of the block-block entanglement. Scaling analysis shows that ${\rm log}_2(l)$ behavior of the block-block entanglement may exist in both non-critical and the critical regions, while some local extremum are induced by the finite-size effect. We also study the block-block entanglement defined in the momentum space and discuss its relation to the phase transition from singlet superconducting state to the charge-density-wave state.
