## TL;DR

This paper investigates how entanglement entropy behaves at quantum critical points governed by infinite randomness fixed points in higher-dimensional disordered systems, revealing a double-logarithmic correction to the area law.

## Contribution

It provides a numerical analysis of entanglement entropy in 2D disordered quantum systems, identifying a novel double-logarithmic correction at the critical point.

## Key findings

- Entanglement entropy diverges at the quantum phase transition.
- A double-logarithmic correction to the area law is identified.
- Contrast with pure area law in diluted models.

## Abstract

The entanglement entropy of the two-dimensional random transverse Ising model is studied with a numerical implementation of the strong disorder renormalization group. The asymptotic behavior of the entropy per surface area diverges at, and only at, the quantum phase transition that is governed by an infinite randomness fixed point. Here we identify a double-logarithmic multiplicative correction to the area law for the entanglement entropy. This contrasts with the pure area law valid at the infinite randomness fixed point in the diluted transverse Ising model in higher dimensions.
