Entropy of an orthogonal quantum mixture

ID: entropy-of-an-orthogonal-quantum-mixture

For density operators supported on mutually orthogonal subspaces, the eigenvalues of their mixture are , where are the eigenvalues of . Substitution into the definition of Von Neumann entropy gives the displayed decomposition into Shannon entropy of the label and the mean entropy within each block. Zero eigenvalues use .
