contents Topological order comes in different forms, and its classification and detection is an important field of modern research. In this work, we show that the Disconnected Entanglement Entropy, a measure originally introduced to identify topological phases, is also able to unveil the long-range entanglement (LRE) carried by a single, fractionalized excitation. We show this by considering a quantum, delocalized domain wall excitation that can be introduced into a system by inducing topological frustration in an antiferromagnetic spin chain. Furthermore, we study the resilience of LRE against a quantum quench and the introduction of disorder, thus establishing the existence of a phase with topological features despite not being a typical topological order or symmetry-protected one.
