Entanglement between two subsystems, the Wigner semicircle and extreme
value statistics

The entanglement between two arbitrary subsystems of random pure states is
studied via properties of the density matrix's partial transpose,
$\rho_{12}^{T_2}$. The density of states of $\rho_{12}^{T_2}$ is close to the
semicircle law when both subsystems have dimensions which are not too small and
are of the same order. A simple random matrix model for the partial transpose
is found to capture the entanglement properties well, including a transition
across a critical dimension. Log-negativity is used to quantify entanglement
between subsystems and approximate analytic formulas for this are derived. The
skewness of the eigenvalue density of $\rho_{12}^{T_2}$ is derived
analytically, using the average of the third moment that is also shown to be
related to a generalization of the Kempe invariant. Extreme value statistics,
especially the Tracy-Widom distribution, is found to be useful in calculating
the fraction of entangled states at critical dimensions. These results are
tested in a quantum dynamical system of three coupled standard maps, where one
finds that if the parameters represent a strongly chaotic system, the results
are close to those of random states, although there are some systematic
deviations at critical dimensions.
