Non-Perturbative Closed Form for the Typical Bipartite Mutual Information of Haar-Random States
Abstract
The average bipartite quantum mutual information I(A:B) of Haar-random pure states can be expressed exactly through Page's formula in terms of digamma functions. We show that this quantity admits a single non-perturbative closed form: I(A:B) = (dA2-1)(dB2-1)\,G(dA,dB,dE), where G is given by an explicit convergent integral over a Bose--Einstein kernel. The overall factor (dA2-1)(dB2-1)=[su(dA)]·[su(dB)] is exact, not merely asymptotic. The asymptotic expansion of G in 1/N yields a Bernoulli-factorised series whose coefficients involve ζ(1-2k); this series diverges, and our integral is its exact Borel sum. The integral representation also makes I < (dA2-1)(dB2-1)/(2N) manifest via a scale-inversion symmetry of the kernel. Our derivation traces the mutual information's structure to an exact decomposition of Page's entropy into a diagonal (Dirichlet) contribution and a Schur-majorisation eigenvalue correction, whose assembly into the mutual information cleanly separates classical from quantum correlations.
