Abstract
We present a general method for the perturbative calculation of the entanglement entropy between two interacting quantum fields. Previous attempts at calculating this quantity perturbatively have encountered a seemingly pathological divergence; we explain why this divergence is a result of improperly truncating a series expansion and give a prescription for avoiding this problem. We then apply our method to a simple example of two mass-mixing scalar fields.
