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…
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…
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…
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…
