Title: Introduction to Mutual Information in Quantum Matter

Abstract:
I propose during this seminar to present some recent ideas to
characterize phases using entanglement following quantum
information development.

I will particularly focus on the notion of mutual information (that
can be derived from the the entanglement entropy) as a mean to
detect topological matter (mostly 2D) as introduced with the
topological entanglement entropy (see PhysRevLett.96.110405
or PhysRevLett.96.110404).

This seminar aims at a discussion on the subject and hence will
take the time to provide the necessary background for the non-expert.
