Quantum critical metals without quasiparticles are of extensive current interest [1]. An exemplary case appears in heavy fermion metals, where the notion of Kondo destruction quantum criticality plays a central role. It goes beyond the conventional Landau order-parameter framework. Across the Kondo destruction quantum critical point, a “large” to “small” Fermi surface transformation takes place, reflecting the suppression of the Kondo singlet in the ground state [1]. However, a dynamical Kondo effect has been shown to persist, leading to a singular charge response [2,3]. An important way to characterize the dynamical Kondo effect is to use quantum entanglement properties [4,5]. Here, we study the behavior of the entanglement entropy across the Kondo destruction transitions and discuss its implications in characterizing the nature of the Kondo destruction quantum criticality.
