الوصف: We provide a prescription to construct R\'{e}nyi and von Neumann entropy of a system of interacting fermions from a knowledge of its correlation functions. We show that R\'{e}nyi entanglement entropy of interacting fermions in arbitrary dimensions can be represented by a Schwinger Keldysh free energy on replicated manifolds with a current between the replicas. The current is local in real space and is present only in the subsystem which is not integrated out. This allows us to construct a diagrammatic representation of entanglement entropy in terms of connected correlators in the standard field theory with no replicas. This construction is agnostic to how the correlators are calculated, and one can use calculated, simulated or measured values of the correlators in this formula. Using this diagrammatic representation, one can decompose entanglement into contributions which depend on the one-particle correlator, two particle correlator and so on. We provide analytic formula for the one-particle contribution and a diagrammatic construction for higher order contributions. We show how this construction can be extended for von-Neumann entropy through analytic continuation. For a practical implementation of a quantum state, where one usually has information only about few-particle correlators, this provides an approximate way of calculating entanglement commensurate with the limited knowledge about the underlying quantum state.
