Abstract

We present the first physical realization, in a many-body Hamiltonian system, of the abstract probabilistic structure shown recently by M. Gell-Mann, Y. Sato and one of us (C.T.), that the $q$-entropy $S_q$ can conform, for an anomalous value of $q$ (i.e., $q 1)$, to the classical thermodynamical requirement for the entropy to be extensive. Moreover, we find that the entropic index $q$ provides a tool to characterize different universality classes in quantum phase transitions. The present results suggest a new and powerful approach to measure entanglement in quantum many-body systems.
