Key Equations

$$|\psi\rangle_{AB} = |\phi\rangle_A \otimes |\chi\rangle_B$$
$$|\Psi^+\rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\left(|01\rangle + |10\rangle\right), \qquad |\Psi^-\rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\left(|01\rangle - |10\rangle\right)$$
$$\boxed{S(\hat{\rho}_A) = -\text{Tr}\!\left(\hat{\rho}_A \ln\hat{\rho}_A\right) = -\sum_{i=1}^{r} \lambda_i \ln\lambda_i}$$
$$\gamma(\hat{\rho}_A) = \text{Tr}\!\left(\hat{\rho}_A^2\right) = \sum_i \lambda_i^2$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
