Entanglement Asymmetry for Non-invertible Symmetries

This conference talk by Francesco Benini from SISSA explores entanglement asymmetry for non-invertible symmetries as part of the "Generalized Symmetries: High-Energy, Condensed Matter and Mathematics" KITP conference held at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at UC Santa Barbara in April 2025. Discover how quantum field theory has advanced over the past decade through the interpretation of symmetries as topological defects acting on operator spaces. Learn about this generalized notion of symmetries that has revealed unexpected physical effects across condensed matter, high energy physics, and quantum gravity. The 44-minute presentation contributes to a conference bringing together leading experts to share recent advances and open problems in the field, coordinated by Maissam Barkeshli, Michele Del Zotto, Sakura Schafer-Nameki, and Shu-Heng Shao.
