Weak Typicality of von Neumann Entanglement Entropy in Gaussian Boson Sampling

Abstract

We study the von Neumann entanglement entropy generated by a Haar distributed passive interferometer acting on $n$ equally squeezed input modes with fixed nonzero squeezing strength $s$. Previous work established proportional weak typicality for integer R'enyi orders $α\geq 2$ and stated a sublinear von Neumann result, while the proportional von Neumann case remained open. For a subsystem of $k_n$ modes satisfying $k_n/n\to r\in(0,1)$, we prove that, for every $\varepsilon>0$ and all sufficiently large $n$, $\mathbb{P}\left(\left|\frac{S_{1,n}}{\mathbb{E}S_{1,n}}-1\right|\geq\varepsilon\right)\leq2\exp\left[-\frac{c_{s,r}\varepsilon^2n^2}{\log^2(en)}\right].$ The proof represents the entropy as a singular value statistic of a principal block of $UU^{\mathsf T}$, where $U$ denotes the unitary interferometer. It regularizes the logarithmic singularity at the endpoint corresponding to a pure Gaussian mode and applies concentration on the unitary group. The result establishes proportional von Neumann weak typicality and further implies almost sure convergence of $S_{1,n}/\mathbb{E}S_{1,n}$ to $1$, a typical volume law, and the variance bound $\mathrm{Var}(S_{1,n})=O_s(\log^2 n)$. An accompanying Lean 4 development verifies the proof chain.
