21. In the supplemental material, we showed that the RVB wave function has no same lattice pairings; we present an oriented string picture to rationalize the logarithmic correction to the entanglement entropy; this correction is further evidenced by the results from entanglement spectra and boundary Hamiltonian; finally, we provide the finite size scaling to establish the best variational parameter c and the variational ground state energy in the thermodynamic limit.
