Description

A quantum coherent screening cloud around a magnetic impurity in metallic systems is the hallmark of the antiferromagnetic Kondo effect. Despite the central role of the Kondo effect in quantum materials, the structure of quantum correlations of the screening cloud has defied direct observations. In this work, we introduce a machine-learning algorithm that allows one to spatially map the entangled electronic modes in the vicinity of the impurity site from experimentally accessible data. We demonstrate that local correlators allow reconstruction of the local many-body correlation entropy in real space in a double Kondo system with overlapping entanglement clouds. Our machine-learning methodology allows bypassing the typical requirement of measuring long-range nonlocal correlators with conventional methods. We show that our machine-learning algorithm is transferable between different Kondo system sizes, and we show its robustness in the presence of noisy correlators. Our work establishes the potential machine-learning methods to map many-body entanglement from real-space measurements.
