Local indistinguishability and edge modes revealed by the sub-system fidelity

We propose to use the sub-system fidelity, defined by comparing a pair of reduced density matrices, to identify and locate zero modes relating two degenerate ground states in one-dimensional interacting many-body systems, where the degeneracy arises from either symmetry protected topology (SPT), or...
