We study the evolution of the one-particle entanglement spectrum for the one-dimensional dimerized chain in the presence of impurities. When the system quenches from a topologically nontrivial phase to a trivial phase with disorder, the spectrum features the split of two zero-energy edge modes due to their interaction with impurities. Our observations demonstrate the feasibility of using entanglement spectrum to study the quench dynamics of topological systems.
