| Dec 25, 2016 at 7:46 | comment | added | bright-star | @probably_someone I was trying to stay super informal with this question, but I was going for "simple" meaning "least compressed", in the sense of the system's state having, say, a Komolgorov complexity shorter than that of the actual state itself. The minimum length of the description of the mixed state is much longer than the same of the separated state. | |
