Abstract: 
Logarithmic negativity quantifies quantum entanglement for bipartite mixed states. We discuss the computation of the logarithmic negativity in quantum field theory through a replica limit method, providing both analytic and numerical  results for simple 2D CFTs like the compact boson, free fermion and Ising model. Also some results on a two dimensional harmonic lattice will be discussed.
