• Abstract: Let $D_1$ and $D_2$ be the Hilbert space dimensions of two subsystems of a quantum system of total Hilbert space dimension $D=D_1D_2$. In the thermodynamic limit (with $1\ll D_1 \ll D_2$), we know from the works of Page and Sen that the average von Neumann (VN) entropy of the first subsystem is $\mathbb{E}({S}^{sb}_{VN})=\ln(D_1)+O(D_1/D_2)$ if the full system is in a random pure state. Here, it is argued that this result can be strengthened for a thermalized quantum system. Consider the subspace $\mathcal{H}_E$ of the total Hilbert space corresponding to a narrow shell around the energy $E$. We find that the result of Page and Sen holds for each of these subspaces, that is, the VN entropy, when averaged over the states in $\mathcal{H}_E$, is given by $\overline{S}^{sb}_{VN} \approx \ln \widetilde{d}_1$, where $\widetilde{d}_1$ represents the dimension of the effective Hilbert space of the first subsystem relevant to $\mathcal{H}_E$. If $d_E = \dim{(\mathcal{H}_E)}$, we estimate that $\widetilde{d}_1 = D_1^\gamma$, where $\gamma = \ln (d_E) / \ln (D)$. This finding has significant implications, as it suggests an equivalence between the VN entropy and the thermodynamic (TH) entropy of a subsystem within a much larger thermalized quantum system. For completeness, we also discuss in this work the issue of equivalence between the VN entropy and TH entropy for isolated system (as a whole) and open system. For numerical demonstration of our important results, we here consider a one-dimensional spin-1/2 chain with next-nearest neighbor interactions.

  Entanglement entropy is the von Neumann entropy of quantum entanglement of pure states. The relation between entanglement entropy and entanglement distillation has been known only for the setting, and the meaning of entanglement entropy in the single-copy regime has so far remained open. Our results imply that entanglement entropy quantifies the amount of entanglement available in a bipartite pure state to be used for quantum information processing, giving results an operational meaning also in entangled single-copy setup.

The scenario how a single bound state survives in the squeezed system from a finite number of bound states in the finite system is described in detail.
