We study the entanglement Hamiltonian (EH) associated with the reduced density matrix of free fermion models in a delocalized-localized Anderson phase transition. We show numerically that the structure of the EH matrix differentiates the delocalized from the localized phase. In the delocalized phase, EH becomes a long-range Hamiltonian but is short-range in the localized phase, no matter what the configuration of the system’s Hamiltonian is (whether it is long- or short-range). With this view, we introduce the entanglement conductance (EC), which quantifies how much EH is long-range, and we propose it as an alternative quantity to measure entanglement in the Anderson phase transition, by which we locate the phase transition point of some one- dimensional free fermion models. In addition, by applying the finite-size method to the EC, we find three- dimensional Anderson phase transition critical disorder strength.
