Entanglement Wedge Cross Section from Conformal Field Theory

[Umemoto-Takayanagi ’17], [Nguyen-Devakul-Halbasch-Zaletel-Swingle ’17]
Question Can we get EWCS directly from CFT?
Entanglement wedge cross section (EWCS)
Our result
Yes! we can get the EWCS from CFT2 4-point functions with twist number-1 channel
