Abstract

Topological entanglement entropy has been extensively used as an indicator of topologically ordered phases. We study the conditions needed for two-dimensional topologically trivial states to exhibit spurious contributions that contaminate topological entanglement entropy. We show that, if the state at the boundary of a subregion is a stabilizer state, then it has a nonzero spurious contribution to the region if and only if the state is in a nontrivial one-dimensional G₁×G₂ symmetry-protected-topological (SPT) phase under an on-site symmetry. However, we provide a candidate of a boundary state that has a nonzero spurious contribution but does not belong to any such SPT phase.
