 Pure-state negative conditional entropy criterion

For a bipartite pure state with finite Von Neumann entropy, the joint Von Neumann entropy is zero, so its quantum conditional entropy is $-S({\rho }_A)$. The Schmidt decomposition makes the nonzero eigenvalues of ${\rho }_A$ the squared Schmidt coefficients. Their Shannon entropy vanishes exactly when there is one coefficient, equivalently the joint pure state is a product state. Thus negative quantum conditional entropy detects exactly the entangled bipartite pure states; it is only a sufficient criterion for entanglement of general mixed density operators.
