contents In this paper, we discuss the construction of a map between weak (gauge) and strong (string) coupling degrees of freedom for the supersymmetric Wilson line-defect in the planar N=4 Super-Yang-Mills. By analysing the Partition Functions at zero and infinite coupling, we propose a map from degrees of freedom capturing single- and singlet two-particle states at zero coupling to infinite coupling. This map predicts that the dimension of states in these particular sectors doubles as it goes from zero to infinite coupling. We test this prediction against the non-perturbative spectrum of insertions on the Wilson line obtained using integrability. In addition to already available integrability-based results, we obtain the non-perturbative scaling dimensions of the simplest non-trivial operators with transverse spin about the Wilson line, thereby extending the Quantum Spectral Curve construction to such charged sectors.
