Wehrl entropy and entanglement complexity of quantum spin systems by Chen Xu, Yiqi Yu, Peng Zhang

“…We further demonstrate that many-body pure entangled states can be classified into three types, based on the behavior of the WEPP in the limit $N \rightarrow \infty$ : states approaching that of a maximally mixed state, those approaching completely separable pure states, and a third category lying between these two extremes. Each type exhibits fundamentally different entanglement complexity.…”
