Mixed-State Long-Range Entanglement from Dimensional Constraints
The maximally mixed state in the translation-invariant subspace of a 1D ring is long-range entangled because the dimension of translationally symmetric short-range entangled states grows polynomially while the full subspace grows exponentially.
