We calculate the entanglement entropy of a non-contiguous subsystem of a chain of free fermions. The starting point is a formula suggested by Jin and Korepin, texttt{arXiv:1104.1004}, for the reduced density of states of two disjoint intervals with lattice sites $P={1,2,dots,m}cup{2m+1,2m+2,dots, 3m}$, which applies to this model. As a first step in the asymptotic analysis of this system, we consider its simplification to two disjoint intervals separated just by one site, and we rigorously calculate the mutual information between these two blocks and the rest of the chain. In order to compute the entropy we need to study the asymptotic behaviour of an inverse Toeplitz matrix with Fisher-Hartwig symbol using the the Riemann--Hilbert method.

We study the moments of the partial transpose of the reduced density matrix of two intervals for the free massless Dirac fermion. By means of a direct calculation based on coherent state path integral, we find an analytic form for these moments in terms of the Riemann theta function. We show that the moments of arbitrary order are equal to the same quantities for the compactified boson at the self-dual point. These equalities imply the non trivial result that also the negativity of the free fermion and the self-dual boson are equal.
The Ryu-Takayanagi conjecture contradicts $1+1$-dimensional CFT if we apply it to two far disjoint intervals because it predicts the product state. Instead of the conventional conjecture, we propose a holographic entanglement entropy formula that the entanglement entropy of two disjoint intervals is described by the appropriate sum of the area of signed extremal curves. We confirm that the resulting holographic entanglement entropy is consistent with the entanglement entropy for the specific two disjoint intervals evaluated in the large $c$ limit CFT.
We reconsider the moments of the reduced density matrix of two disjoint intervals and of its partial transpose with respect to one interval for critical free fermionic lattice models. It is known that these matrices are sums of either two or four Gaussian matrices and hence their moments can be reconstructed as computable sums of products of Gaussian operators. We find that, in the scaling limit, each term in these sums is in one-to-one correspondence with the partition function of the corresponding conformal field theory on the underlying Riemann surface with a given spin structure. The analytical findings have been checked against numerical results for the Ising chain and for the XX spin chain at the critical point.
We consider the Heisenberg XXZ spin-$J$ chain ($Jinmathbb{N}/2$) with anisotropy parameter $Delta$. Assuming that $Delta>2J$, and introducing threshold energies $E_{K}:=Kleft(1-frac{2J}{Delta}right)$, we show that the bipartite entanglement entropy (EE) of states belonging to any spectral subspace with energy less than $E_{K+1}$ satisfy a logarithmically corrected area law with prefactor $(2lfloor K/Jrfloor-2)$. This generalizes previous results by Beaud and Warzel as well as Abdul-Rahman, Stolz and one of the authors, who covered the spin-$1/2$ case.
We give an upper bound of the relative entanglement entropy of the ground state of a massive Dirac-Majorana field across two widely separated regions $A$ and $B$ in a static slice of an ultrastatic Lorentzian spacetime. Our bound decays exponentially in $dist (A, B)$, at a rate set by the Compton wavelength and the spatial scalar curvature. The physical interpretation our result is that, on a manifold with positive spatial scalar curvature, one cannot use the entanglement of the vacuum state to teleport one classical bit from $A$ to $B$ if their distance is of the order of the maximum of the curvature radius and the Compton wave length or greater.
