Physics at the entangling surface
read the original abstract
To consider the entanglement between the spatial region $A$ and its complement in a QFT, we need to assign a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}_A$ to the region, by making a certain choice on the boundary $\partial A$. We argue that a small physical boundary is implicitly inserted at the entangling surface. We investigate these issues in the context of 2d CFTs, and show that we can indeed read off the Cardy states of the $c=1/2$ minimal model from the entanglement entropy of the critical Ising chain.

Probing chiral topological states with permutation defects
Permutation defects between wavefunction replicas yield multipartite entanglement measures that capture the chiral central charge from bulk states in chiral topological phases.

No boundary density matrix in elliptic de Sitter dS/$\mathbb{Z}_2$
The Euclidean path integral on elliptic de Sitter defines a no-boundary density matrix whose entropies reduce to vertex operator correlators on non-orientable surfaces, with a one-dimensional global Hilbert space but ...
