• Abstract: We study the entanglement Hamiltonian of two disjoint blocks in the harmonic chain on the line and in its ground state. In the regime of large mass, the non vanishing terms are only the on-site and the nearest-neighbour ones. Analytic expressions are obtained for their profiles, which are written in terms of piecewise linear functions that can be discontinuous and display sharp transitions as the separation between the blocks changes. In the regime of vanishing mass, where the matrices characterising the entanglement Hamiltonian contain couplings at all distances, we explore the location of the subdominant terms and some combinations of matrix elements that are useful for the continuum limit, comparing the results with the corresponding ones for the free chiral current. The single-particle entanglement spectra of these entanglement Hamiltonians are also investigated.

  We consider as a genuine example of a mixed state the one-dimensional massless Dirac fermions in a system at finite temperature and size. The structure of the corresponding negativity Hamiltonian resembles the one for the entanglement Hamiltonian in the same geometry. We conjecture an exact expression for the negativity Hamiltonian associated to the twisted partial transpose.
