The passage around this formula

is exact [ 4 ] . Fixing m=2 (a single qubit) and letting n — the effective size of everything else the qubit could be entangled with — grow gives $\langle$ $S_{2,4}$ $\rangle$ = 0.5095 nats, $\langle$ $S_{2,16}$ $\rangle$ = 0.6465 nats, and $\langle$ $S_{2,64}$ $\rangle$ = 0.6814 nats, closing in on the ceiling $\ln$ 2 = 0.6931 nats. The residual gap to that ceiling shrinks by…
