• Abstract: We study the half system entanglement Hamiltonians of the ground state of free fermion critical transverse field Ising model with periodic boundary conditions in the presence of defects. In general, we see that these defects introduce non-local terms into the entanglement Hamiltonian with the largest being couplings across the defect that decay with distance. It is also shown that the entanglement Hamiltonian does know of the defect even if the defect is outside of the subsystem. We also discuss what happens when defects are on the boundaries of the subsystem, and in particular, we investigate the behavior as the bond leading into the subsystem is cut. Finally, we examine the non-local behavior of the antiperiodic defect and duality defect, both of which introduce zero modes.

  We show that in the limit one obtains the one-body Hamiltonian for the light particle subject to $N$ (non-local) point interactions placed at fixed positions. We will verify that such non-local point interactions do not exhibit the ultraviolet pathologies that are present in the case of standard local point interactions.

  We study the entanglement Hamiltonian for the ground state of one-dimensional free fermions in the presence of an inhomogeneous chemical potential. It is shown that, for both models, conformal field theory predicts a Bisognano-Wichmann form for the entangement Hamiltonian of a half-infinite system.

  In the presence of boundaries, the entanglement entropy in lattice models is known to exhibit oscillations with the parity of the subsystem. We study these oscillations in detail for the case of the XX chain with one modified link or two successive modified links. In this context, the parity effects can be interpreted in terms of the existence of non-trivial topological phases.

  We introduce a Floquet circuit describing the driven Ising chain with topological defects. The corresponding gates include a defect that flips spins as well as the duality defect that explicitly implements the Kramers-Wannier duality transformation. We show that a single unpaired localized Majorana zero mode appears in the latter case.
