The von Neumann Entropy for Mixed States

The Araki–Lieb inequality is commonly used to calculate the entropy of subsystems when they are initially in pure states, as this forces the entropy of the two subsystems to be equal after the complete system evolves. Then, it is easy to calculate the entropy of a large subsystem by findin...
