Entanglement entropy of the maximum geminal of the BCS ground state

From the viewpoint of the Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) of the fermion system, the maximum geminal of the second-order reduced density matrix of the superconducting state exactly corresponds to the Cooper pair. In this paper the entanglement entropy (EE) for the maximum geminal of the BCS ground state is evaluated. The EE behaves logarithmically with respect to the number of the maximum geminal. Furthermore, the disappearance point of superconductivity is defined on the basis of the fermion BEC. In the superconducting ground state, almost all electrons in the energy width of the gap parameter near the Fermi level are condensed as a maximum geminal. They suddenly change to normal electrons with a finite gap of the EE at the disappearance point like a first-order phase transition.
