Area of Science:

• Quantum Information Theory
• Quantum Entanglement
• Random Matrix Theory

Background:

• Entangled random pure states are fundamental in quantum information.
• Understanding the properties of these states requires advanced mathematical tools.
• The reduced density matrix and its eigenvalues (Schmidt eigenvalues) are key descriptors of entanglement.

Purpose of the Study:

• To establish a general relation between Schmidt eigenvalues and random matrix theory ensembles.
• To derive explicit expressions for entanglement measures like entropy variance and Schmidt number moments.

• Analyzing the n-point densities and cross moments of eigenvalues of the reduced density matrix.
• Utilizing the Wishart-Laguerre ensemble from random matrix theory.
• Connecting Schmidt number moments to the smallest eigenvalues of Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE) matrices.

Main Results:

• A general relation between Schmidt eigenvalues and Wishart-Laguerre functionals is established for N≤M.
• Explicit expressions for two-level densities and exact variance of von Neumann entropy are derived.
• Analytical results for moments of the Schmidt number (K) are obtained for N=2, 3 and M, and for N=M systems.
• An exact asymptotic expansion for the probability of the smallest GUE eigenvalue is presented.

Conclusions:

• The study provides a powerful analytical framework for understanding entanglement in bipartite quantum systems.
• The derived results offer precise quantitative measures of entanglement, applicable to various quantum information tasks.
• The connection to random matrix theory opens avenues for further theoretical and numerical investigations.
