• Abstract: We study the entanglement Hamiltonian of an infinite hopping chain in its ground state, after partial projective measurements in the occupation basis. For a segment separated by two measurement regions from the rest of the chain, we show that the reduced density matrix can be related to a grand-canonical state via a conformal mapping and a gauge transformation in the underlying field-theory description. The entanglement Hamiltonian is then described by a local inverse temperature that vanishes as a square root around the endpoints and is independent of the particular measurement outcome. In sharp contrast, the local chemical potential is shown to be related to the induced charge density in the segment. Hence the entanglement Hamiltonian of a post-selected state contains much more information on the measurement outcome than the respective entropy.

• Finite temperature negativity Hamiltonians of the massless Dirac fermion [0.0]
  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.
