Geometric or Entanglement Entropy

In General > s.a. entanglement; quantum entropy [including spacetime form]; Density Matrix [reduced].
* Idea: A quantity which characterizes the correlations between subsystems A and B in a larger quantum-mechanical system; It is calculated as the von Neumann entropy of the reduced density matrix ρ_A for subsystem A, obtained by ignoring the correlations between A and B in a (pure) state of the whole system,

S_A = −k tr ρ_A ln ρ_A ;

If the subsystem is defined by a domain A in space, then the entanglement entropy is called geometric entropy.
* Result: In many cases, the leading term of the entanglement entropy of A for the vacuum state is proportional to the area of the boundary ∂A.
