• Abstract summary: We discuss multipartitions of the gapped ground states of (2+1)-dimensional topological liquids into three spatial regions. We compute various correlation measures, such as entanglement negativity, reflected entropy, and associated spectra. As specific examples, we consider topological chiral $p$-wave superconductors and Chern insulators.

• Abstract: We discuss multipartitions of the gapped ground states of (2+1)-dimensional topological liquids into three (or more) spatial regions that are adjacent to each other and meet at points. By considering the reduced density matrix obtained by tracing over a subset of the regions, we compute various correlation measures, such as entanglement negativity, reflected entropy, and associated spectra. We utilize the bulk-boundary correspondence to show that such multipartitions can be achieved by using what we call vertex states in (1+1)-dimensional conformal field theory -- these are a type of state used to define an interaction vertex in string field theory and can be thought of as a proper generalization of conformal boundary states. This approach allows an explicit construction of the reduced density matrix near the entangling boundaries. We find the fingerprints of topological liquid in these quantities, such as (universal pieces in) the scaling of the entanglement negativity, and a non-trivial distribution of the spectrum of the partially transposed density matrix. For reflected entropy, we test the recent claim that states the difference between reflected entropy and mutual information is given, once short-range correlations are properly removed, by $(c/3)\ln 2$ where $c$ is the central charge of the topological liquid that measures ungappable edge degrees of freedom. As specific examples, we consider topological chiral $p$-wave superconductors and Chern insulators. We also study a specific lattice fermion model realizing Chern insulator phases and calculate the correlation measures numerically, both in its gapped phases and at critical points separating them.

  Multi-wavefunction overlaps are generalizations of the quantum mechanical inner product for more than two quantum many-body states. We show how these overlaps can be calculated using the bulk-boundary correspondence and (1+1)-dimensional edge theories. We illustrate that the same technique can be used to evaluate the multi-entropy for (2+1)-dimensional gapped ground states.

  We show that there exists an ellipsoid of separable states centered around $rho_rm prod$. The volume of this separable ellipsoid is typically exponentially larger than that of the separable ball proposed in previous works. Our criterion will help numerical procedures to rigorously detect separability.

  An entanglement measure based on the Fubini-Study metric has been recently introduced by Cocchiarella and co-workers. We present the Gaussian Entanglement Measure (GEM), a generalization of geometric entanglement measure for multimode Gaussian states. By providing a computable multipartite entanglement measure for systems with a large number of degrees of freedom, we show that our definition can be used to obtain insights into a free bosonic field theory.

• Laughlin topology on fractal lattices without area law entanglement [0.0]
  We investigate density, correlation, and entanglement properties of the states on a fractal lattice derived from a Sierpinski triangle. We find that the connected particle-particle correlation function decays roughly exponentially with the distance between the lattice sites measured in the two-dimensional plane. We find that the number of states below the entanglement gap is robust and the same as for Laughlin states on two-dimensional lattices.
