Resumen
We study the dependence of the entanglement entropy with a magnetic flux and show that the former quantity witnesses an Aharonov–Bohm-like effect. In particular, we consider free charged scalar and Dirac fields living on a two-dimensional cylinder and study how the entanglement entropy for a strip-like region on the surface of the cylinder is affected by a magnetic field enclosed by it.
