• Abstract: The entanglement bootstrap program has generated new quantum numbers associated with degrees of freedom living on gapped domain walls between topological phases in two dimensions. Most fundamental among these are the so-called "parton" quantum numbers, which give rise to a zoo of composite sectors. In this note, we propose a categorical description of partons. Along the way, we make contact with ideas from generalized symmetries and SymTFT.

  We propose a correspondence between 1d SPT phases with a non-invertible $Gtimes textRep(G)times G$ symmetry and invertible domain walls in the quantum double associated with the group $G$. We also use our method to construct emphanchoring domain walls, which are novel exotic domain walls in the 3d toric code that transform point-like excitations to semi-loop-like excitations anchored on these domain walls.

  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.

• Entanglement bootstrap approach for gapped domain walls [7.812246338284692]
  We develop a theory of gapped domain wall between topologically ordered systems in two spatial dimensions. We find a new type of superselection sector -- referred to as the parton sector -- that subdivides the known superselection sectors localized on gapped domain walls. We introduce and study the properties of composite superselection sectors that are made out of the parton sectors.

• Generalized Entanglement, Charges and Intertwiners [0.0]
  We define a measure of entanglement entropy as a measure of information erased under restriction to a subspace of observables. We argue that the correct entanglement measure in the presence of charges is the sum of two terms; one measuring the entanglement of charge-neutral operators, and the other measuring the contribution of the bi-local intertwiners.

• Radiative topological biphoton states in modulated qubit arrays [105.54048699217668]
  We study topological properties of bound pairs of photons in spatially-modulated qubit arrays coupled to a waveguide. For open boundary condition, we find exotic topological bound-pair edge states with radiative losses. By joining two structures with different spatial modulations, we find long-lived interface states which may have applications in storage and quantum information processing.
