contents The quantum information content of Hawking radiation holds the key to understanding black-hole evaporation and the fate of unitarity. Motivated by recent advances in cold-atom experiments, we develop a lattice-regularization approach aimed at simulating the coarse-grained entanglement scaling of a quantum field in a 1+1D analogue black-hole background. We provide the first concrete demonstration that logarithmic negativity -- an entanglement monotone that typically exhibits a UV-divergent log-scaling for the conformal vacuum -- acquires a UV-finite volume term from the nonlocal correlations seeded by Hawking radiation. We show that this volume term encodes the number density as well as the spatial distribution of entangled Hawking pairs along the black-hole interior and exterior. We highlight its prospective detection in currently realizable experiments and its implications beyond the analogue paradigm, in particular for black-hole thermodynamics.
