Abstract
If a quantum system of Hilbert space dimension mn is in a random pure state, the average entropy of a subsystem of dimension mn is conjectured to be Sm,n= Sk=n+1mn 1/k-m-1/2n and is shown to be ≃lnm-m/2n for 1≪mn. Thus there is less than one-half unit of information, on average, in the smaller subsystem of a total system in a random pure state.
