In quantum mechanics, a product state, or simply separable state, is a special type of separable state in which there are neither classical nor quantum correlations. Precisely, it is a joint state of two systems which can be expressed as
where [math]\displaystyle{ \rho_1 }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \rho_2 }[/math] are states of the respective systems. This is a more restrictive condition than mere separability,
One property of the product state is that in terms of entropy,
