Description
I will discuss recent progress in understanding entanglement-based probes of 2D topological phases of matter. These probes are supposed to extract universal topological information from a many-body ground state. Specifically, I will discuss (1) the topological entanglement entropy, which is supposed to give information about the number of anyon excitations, and (2) the modular commutator, which is supposed to tell us the chiral central charge.
