Abstract:

I will review recent work by K. Kato, I. Kim and B. Shi, of what they have come to call the entanglement bootstrap program: an attempt at deriving the properties of TQFT-described topological order entirely from assumptions about many-body entanglement. These assumptions are connected to the area law, the framework of quantum Markov chains (recall Yorgos's talk), as well as to a paper about the marginal problem by one of the authors that was discussed on Slack a few weeks ago, thus providing enough references to previous episodes as befits the finale of this cycle of in-house seminars (Stick around next week for an invited speaker, though!)

We begin at 11h with an informal discussion and continue with the talk at 11:20.
