In summary, the Reeh-Schlieder theorem in AQFT states that any state analytic in energy, which includes most physical states with bounded energy, contains non-local correlations. It is also shown that decreasing the distance between wedges increases entanglement as measured by a Bell-type inequality, reaching a maximum for tangent wedges. This means that in this situation, all analytic states are maximally entangled. However, it is questioned if maximal entanglement leads to infinite entropy of entanglement. Based on the fact that the vacuum state, which is analytic and subject to RS correlations, has a UV-divergent area or log law for entanglement entropy, it is hypothesized that all maximally entangled states have

Any state analytic in energy (which includes most physical states since they have bounded energy) contains non-local correlations described by the Reeh-Schlieder theorem in AQFT. It is further shown that decreasing the distance between wedges will increase the entanglement as measured by a Bell-type inequality, until it reaches a maximum for tangent wedges. In this situation all analytic states are maximally entangled.

Does maximal entanglement translate into infinite entropy of entanglement?

My intuition is based on the fact that the vacuum state (which is analytic hence subject to RS correlations) follows a UV-divergent area law or a UV-divergent log law for entanglement entropy, depending on the dimension, criticality or the bosonic/fermionic character of the field, but anyway, entropy diverges. Vacuum being maximally entangled, it means that all maximally entangled states have the same entropy of entanglement i.e. infinite entropy.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Typically the entanglement entropy has a finite limit despite what you might naively think from area/length laws. For a simple 1+1D worked example see:

What is the Entropy of Reeh-Schlieder correlations?

The Entropy of Reeh-Schlieder correlations is a measure of the amount of information that is shared between two quantum systems that are entangled with each other. It is a way to quantify the correlations between these systems and is based on the Reeh-Schlieder theorem in quantum field theory.

What is the significance of the Entropy of Reeh-Schlieder correlations?

The Entropy of Reeh-Schlieder correlations is significant because it helps us understand the nature of entanglement and the correlations between different quantum systems. It also has applications in quantum information theory, specifically in the study of quantum entanglement and quantum communication.

How is the Entropy of Reeh-Schlieder correlations calculated?

The Entropy of Reeh-Schlieder correlations is calculated using the von Neumann entropy formula, which takes into account the density matrix of the entangled systems. This formula measures the amount of uncertainty in the system and gives us a quantitative measure of the correlations between the systems.

What are the implications of high or low Entropy of Reeh-Schlieder correlations?

A high Entropy of Reeh-Schlieder correlations indicates a high degree of entanglement between the quantum systems, which means that they are highly correlated and share a lot of information. A low Entropy of Reeh-Schlieder correlations indicates a low degree of entanglement and suggests that the systems are not strongly correlated.

How does the Entropy of Reeh-Schlieder correlations relate to other measures of entanglement?

The Entropy of Reeh-Schlieder correlations is one of many measures of entanglement that have been developed in quantum information theory. It is closely related to other measures such as the concurrence and the entanglement entropy, but it has its own unique properties and applications. It can also be used in conjunction with other measures to gain a more complete understanding of the entanglement between quantum systems.
