Reduced density matrix of a Haar random state and its Schmidt decomposition
Consider a Haar random quantum state $|\psi\rangle$. Note that
$$\rho =\mathbb{E}[|\psi\rangle\langle \psi|] = \frac{\mathbb{I}_{n}}{2^{n}}.$$
$\mathbb{I}_n$ is the identity operator on $n$ qubits. ...

Random quantum states and Schur-Weyl duality
Consider the following density matrix over $n$ qubits, with $C$ being a single qubit operator:
$$
\rho_{n} = \int_{C \sim \text{Haar}} \big(C|0\rangle\langle0|C^\dagger\big)^{\otimes n} dC.
$$
Let's ...

Average output state of random quantum circuits
Let $|\psi\rangle = C_1 |0^{n}\rangle$ be a quantum state, such that $C_1$ is a Haar random unitary circuit. Consider a density matrix $\rho$ as follows
\begin{equation}
\rho_1 = \mathbb{E}[|\psi\...
