Seeing topological entanglement through the information convex
Abstract
The information convex allows us to look into certain information-theoretic constraints in two-dimensional topological orders. We provide a derivation of the topological contribution to the von Neumann entropy, where is the quantum dimension of anyon . This value emerges as the only value consistent with strong subadditivity, assuming a certain topological dependence of the information convex structure. In particular, it is assumed that the fusion multiplicities are coherently encoded in a 2-hole disk. A similar contribution () is derived for gapped boundaries. This method further allows us to identify the fusion probabilities and certain constraints on the fusion theory. We also derive a linear bound on the circuit depth of unitary non-Abelian string operators and discuss how it generalizes and changes in the presence of a gapped boundary.
