Statistical mechanics and quantum entanglement
Hi everyone!

Jonathon Riddell here. Today we take a closer look at how entanglement entropy plays a role in the emergence of statistical mechanics. We find that the entanglement entropy between a part of a system obeying eigenstate thermalization, and the rest of the system, scales like the size of the subsystem. This is called a "volume law" and is a key indicator that an energy eigenstate may obey the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis.
