Abstract: Given a braided fusion category $C$, it is well known that the natural map $$ from the square of $C$ to the (Drinfeld) categorical center $Z(C)$ is an equivalence if and only if $C$ is modular. However, it is not clear how to construct the inverse and the natural isomorphisms. In this work, we provide an explicit construction using insights from a specific quantum field theory, and explore how the equivalence fails for the degenerate cases.
