We calculate the amount of entanglement shared by two intervals in the ground state of a (1+1)-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT), quantified by an entanglement measure E based on the computable cross norm (CCNR) criterion. Unlike negativity or mutual information, we show that E has a universal expression even for two disjoint intervals, which depends only on the geometry, the central charge c, and the thermal partition function of the CFT. We prove this universal expression in the replica approach, where the Riemann surface for calculating E at each order n is always a torus topologically. Furthermore, the results of other values of n also yield meaningful conclusions. We verify our findings numerically in the spin-1/2 XXZ chain, whose ground state is described by the Luttinger liquid. |
