Realistic Area-Law Bound on Entanglement from Exponentially Decaying Correlations

A remarkable feature of typical ground states of strongly correlated many-body systems is that the entanglement entropy is not an extensive quantity. In one dimension, there exists a proof that a finite correlation length sets a constant upper bound on the entanglement entropy, called the area law....
