Abstract
In conformal field theories, in contrast to some auxiliary states into the bipartite mixed state ρAB as the usual purifications do, we show a pure entangled state ψAB can be constructed by the undetectable regions. In this pure state ψAB, the von Neumann entropy SvN(A:B) naturally captures quantum entanglement between A and B. We verify that SvN(A:B) is equal to the entanglement wedge cross section EW in anti–de Sitter spacetime, which is conjectured to be the holographic dual of the entanglement of purification.
