Entanglement and geometric transitions in topological string theory
Gabriel Wong
How do we define a bulk subsystem in quantum gravity? In \cite{Wong:2025kpz}, we argued that such a subsystem must support local holographic degrees of freedom. These are gravitati…
Topological subregions in Chern Simons theory and topological string theory
Gabriel Wong
The standard, gapped entanglement boundary condition in Chern Simons theory breaks the topological invariance of the theory by introducing a complex structure on the entangling sur…
Dynamical Edge Modes and Entanglement in Maxwell Theory
Adam Ball, Y. T. Albert Law, Gabriel Wong
Previous work on black hole partition functions and entanglement entropy suggests the existence of "edge" degrees of freedom living on the (stretched) horizon. We identify a local…
A note on the bulk interpretation of the Quantum Extremal Surface formula
Gabriel Wong
Defining quantum information quantities directly in bulk quantum gravity is a difficult problem due to the fluctuations of spacetime. Some progress was made recently in \cite{Merte…
Modular parallel transport of multiple intervals in 1+1-dimensional free fermion theory
Bowen Chen, Bartlomiej Czech, Ling-Yan Hung +1
Modular parallel transport is a generalization of Berry phases, applied to modular (entanglement) Hamiltonians. Here we initiate the study of modular parallel transport for disjoin…
A proposal for 3d quantum gravity and its bulk factorization
Thomas G. Mertens, Joan Simón, Gabriel Wong
Recent progress in AdS/CFT has provided a good understanding of how the bulk spacetime is encoded in the entanglement structure of the boundary CFT. However, little is known about…
The Gauge Theory of Measurement-Based Quantum Computation
Gabriel Wong, Robert Raussendorf, Bartlomiej Czech
Measurement-Based Quantum Computation (MBQC) is a model of quantum computation, which uses local measurements instead of unitary gates. Here we explain that the MBQC procedure has…
Entanglement entropy and edge modes in topological string theory II: The dual gauge theory story
Yikun Jiang, Manki Kim, Gabriel Wong
This is the second in a two-part paper devoted to studying entanglement entropy and edge modes in the A model topological string theory. This theory enjoys a gauge-string (Gopakuma…
Entanglement entropy and edge modes in topological string theory: I
William Donnelly, Yikun Jiang, Manki Kim +1
Progress in identifying the bulk microstate interpretation of the Ryu-Takayanagi formula requires understanding how to define entanglement entropy in the bulk closed string theory.…
Entanglement branes and factorization in conformal field theory
Ling Yan Hung, Gabriel Wong
In this work, we consider the question of local Hilbert space factorization in 2D conformal field theory. Generalizing previous work on entanglement and open-closed TQFT, we interp…
Entanglement branes, modular flow, and extended topological quantum field theory
William Donnelly, Gabriel Wong
Entanglement entropy is an important quantity in field theory, but its definition poses some challenges. The naive definition involves an extension of quantum field theory in which…
Gluing together Modular flows with free fermions
Gabriel Wong
We revisit the calculation of multi-interval modular Hamiltonians for free fermions using a Euclidean path integral approach. We show how the multi-interval modular flow is obtaine…
A note on entanglement edge modes in Chern Simons theory
Gabriel Wong
We elaborate on the extended Hilbert space factorization of Chern Simons theory and show how this arises naturally from a proper regularization of the entangling surface in the Euc…
Entanglement Hamiltonians and entropy in 1+1D chiral fermion systems
Israel Klich, Diana Vaman, Gabriel Wong
In past work we introduced a method which allows for exact computations of entanglement Hamiltonians. The method relies on computing the resolvent for the projected (on the entangl…
Entanglement branes in a two-dimensional string theory
William Donnelly, Gabriel Wong
What is the meaning of entanglement in a theory of extended objects such as strings? To address this question we consider the spatial entanglement between two intervals in the Gros…
Entanglement Hamiltonians for chiral fermions with zero modes
Israel Klich, Diana Vaman, Gabriel Wong
In this Letter we study the effect of topological zero modes on entanglement Hamiltonians and entropy of free chiral fermion systems in (1+1)d. We show how Riemann-Hilbert solution…
Bosonization and the Berry connection in two-dimensional QED
H. B. Thacker, Gabriel Wong
The dynamical effects of topological charge in two-dimensional QED can be expressed in terms of a topological order parameter via a Berry phase construction. The Berry phase descri…
Entanglement Temperature and Entanglement Entropy of Excited States
Gabriel Wong, Israel Klich, Leopoldo A. Pando Zayas +1
We derive a general relation between the ground state entanglement Hamiltonian and the physical stress tensor within the path integral formalism. For spherical entangling surfaces…
Tidal stretching of gravitons into classical strings: application to jet quenching with AdS/CFT
Peter Arnold, Phillip Szepietowski, Diana Vaman +1
Previous work has shown that the standard supergravity approximation can break down when using AdS/CFT duality to study certain top-down formulations of the jet stopping problem in…
